Watch Prisoner For Free

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

To call PRISONER a horror movie is a bit of a stretch; but, without giving away any of the plot points, the movie is horrifying. I would classify PRISONER as more of a psychological-thriller, due to the taught interplay between the two main characters.I really like character-drive plots; and, the PRISONER did not disappoint. And, while some of the flash-backs are repetitive, they do help us get to know our protagonist better than we would in a conventional telling of the tale.The cinematography is dark and depressing; the set dressing is impressive. I thought the acting was solid; and, the music propelled the story forward without being too jarring.If you are a fan of zombies, vampires, special effects, and gore, don't watch PRISONER. This movie is much more for slow consideration.

Hot Shot button pushing filmmaker is touring an abandoned prison when he finds he's not alone.Soon his jailer has turned the tables on the director who loves to film people unaware.Good short film stumbles in the final minutes as it becomes clear that the film is going exactly where so many other films have gone. I really liked the film up to the point where it clearly slipped into the clichéd rut, I mean how could you not it has really good acting and some really good dialog. I just wish it had a real original ending.Worth a look when it hits cable.6 out of 10

After presenting his new project to his producers, the controversial, arrogant and bad tempered director Derek Plato (Julian McMahon) decides to visit the location in an abandoned prison in Tennessee. While visiting the decay place, Derek is captured by a mysterious Jailer (Elias Koteas) that forces him to tell the beginning of his career and his relationship with his mother to his camera, disclosing hidden secrets in the mind of Derek."Prisoner" is a creepy mystery movie with a promising story, good actors and actresses but terrible and noisy edition. The intention is great of a man that somehow discovers secrets he had buried and forgotten in his mind, but the screenplay is confused and pointless and the noise in every flashback is annoying. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "A Sete Chaves" ("At Seven Keys")

I found this movie to be fairly good, due to the fact that it has one of my favorite actors in it, and had a fairly good plot with an unusual twist. I think it was more of a mystery movie then a horror, because it was leaving me wondering exactly "Why is this person doing this?" without any hint in the beginning of the movie of what exactly was going on. The actors did a good job, but you WILL need to sit through the whole movie to get a full understanding of what the whole point of being held prisoner is all about. To make a long story short, I am glad I got to see this movie because it was a little different then all the other horror movies recently released. If you like mystery/horror type movies, this is the one for you.
