This movie is pretty good for the most part. The acting most of the time was amazing and the story got interesting at times. However the last thirty minutes were pretty poor in my book. Not enough to make this movie bad or anything, but still poor.

The story was very good until the last thirty minutes (as mentioned before). The way the story unravelled around the disappearance of these two girls was great. I was sat there at times throughout mainly the first half thinking to myself if this person was really guilty and whether they will be found and if so alive? The story was good from the start but faltered at the last hurdle. The ending and the minutes before where pretty crappy in my opinion. Enough said or spoilers will start to fly.

The cast were great at times and other times were simply ok. Hugh Jackman & Jake Gyllenhaal were the stand out's in this movie. Hugh played the father really well at times i found myself liking the character as he had purpose for all his actions even if we disagree with some or think poorly of the choice. There was a scene or two i though his acting was simply ok however for the most part he was excellent and i was so very impressed. Jake played the detective very well. Not the greatest acting i have ever seen from an individual but still very good none the less. Even though i like Jake as an actor and have watched many a film with him in, i fully believed he was a detective in the scenes he featured. I though he was very believable and impressive at times. Nothing extraordinary, but enough to sell it all to me. Everyone in the cast were fine and i didn't really have a character i hated at all. But Jake & Hugh really stood out to me. Terrence Howard was my third favourite and the rest were all equal in performance. Good cast of characters if i do say so myself.

The movie didn't have much (if any) action or CGI but it didn't need it at all. This movie benefited at times form more sombre moments, i do however wish there were more sombre moments.

Story - 5.5/10

Cast - 7/10

Jake - 8/10

Hugh - 8/10

Overall, this movie was good but as i previously mentioned i believe the ending ruined it. It didn't make it terrible but made it a rating or two less that it would be otherwise.

I do recommend a watch but not greatly. A fine film with some fine acting, 6/10.
