Netflix fans have just one day left to watch thriller considered to be ‘most underrated movie of all time’

Netflix fans have just one day left to watch what many viewers are calling the ‘most underrated movie of all time’.

The 2013 dark thriller - directed by Denis Villeneuve - follows the harrowing abduction of two young girls.

Keller Dover (played by Hugh Jackman) is celebrating Thanksgiving with his family friends, the Birches, when their two young daughters go missing.

Jake Gyllenhaal stars as detective Loki who takes the lead on the eerie case.

However, when the chief suspect (Paul Dano) is released without charge, Dover kidnaps him and takes matters into his own hands.

The Denis Villeneuve led film also features Viola Davis and Terrance Howard.

Titled Prisoners, you can take a look at the trailer below:

Viewers have been raving about the film for years, as some say it is 'one of the most underrated films from the past decade'.

One wrote: "Outstanding acting, a tight, mesmerizing and engaging script and the directing make this one of the most exciting and best thrillers of recent years.

"The themes and questions raised here together with the images stay with you for a very long time. A gem of the genre."

While another person commented: "Prisoners is SUCH a difficult to watch due to what it explores, but this movie is absolutely phenomenal.

"Villeneuve's craft is on full display, and Jackman gives one of his best performances ever.

"It is one of my all-time favourites, and I can't praise it enough."

Someone else said: "In my opinion Prisoners is one of the most underrated movies I've ever seen...

"The fact that it wasn't even nominated for Best Picture in 2014 is so unfair and I think it deserved more recognition."

"One of Villeneuve's best. One of the best crime thriller's ever. Jake Gyllenhaal & Hugh Jackman give career best performances. Thrilling, yet heartbreaking watch to say the least. Paul Dano is also sensational," penned another.

With a 8.1 rating on IMDb and an 87 percent audience score, followed by a 81 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, the film is definitely worth a go.

One film critic said: "Guzikowski's well-honed thriller occasionally idles under Villeneuve's dark character studies, but the director's powerfully imposed mood of dread elevates what might otherwise have been just a superior police procedural."

Another added: "Even the most seemingly benign scenes posses a low level of fear, and the final hour is heavy enough to leave audiences shaking (and shaken)."

The 2013 thriller is only on Netflix for one more day and will be taken off on 26 March.

Prisoners can also be watched on Amazon with a Prime membership.
