Prisoners

[Yinster]

2 small moans about a few audience members who spoiled the atmosphere at times with checking their phones and the odd crisp bag cruncher who insisted on scrunching up their BAGS . . .yes, you read that right . . . one person eating several bags . . . very distracting and ruined the silence of the cinema!

OH only had two bags of crisps. I thought it was actually alright and didn't feel too long though 15 minutes could have been taken out easily. Perhaps this is the season for alternative endings and I felt this one was spot on as well as the ending for The Call. 6/10

I had one packet right at the start of the film. Did teddybear1 not have a packet at some point too? OH always has a packet of crisps during a film as that is her dinner but as this film was 2 hrs and 40 minutes long she had two packets.

Bet the scruncher wasn't as good as the pocket munching people in front of us last Thursday. Who opens a can 10 minutes from the end of a film, guzzles it and then does a comedy burp?

Don't know why you are bothering to count who ate what Yes, teddybear1 had crisps . . . it wasn't the eating I was making comment on but the scrunching up of the packets during a very atmospheric film
Personally, I would never eat crisps in a theatre or a cinema and never allowed my kids to do so either . . . I'm kind of fanatical that way!!! Sweets had to have no wrappings and therefore no rustling . . .

I wasn't really counting but pointing out the fact where you think it is one person doing the scrunching when it was probably more than one person. Plus the noise was probably heightened due to the lack of soundtrack to the film.

I really wish cinemas would go back to the card-type popcorn tubs/buckets and not these annoying paper bags. As if the actual product wasn't noisy enough?

Really enjoyed this. Could have been a bit tighter, but only by about 10/15 minutes as tsoiboy said. Thought it was well acted and gripping.

If anyone doesn't understand anything still feel free to PM me and I'll do my best to explain. I've sent a couple PMs already but as films are my career I always watch for the tiniest things so got a good understanding of this one. :)

Only thing that bothered me was
[spoiler]Loki getting a few phantom texts at the beginning. I honestly thought he had something to do with it at first, but then they never revisited it.[/spoiler]

Absolutely outstanding. This is a direct riposte to the torture apologism of Zero Dark Thirty. Hugh Jackman's character is an allegory to America's reaction to September 11th. It's about damn time a film came along with the guts to nail its political colours to the mast with such confidence and intelligence. I loved practically every second of it.
