Those who trespass against us

Prisoners

Crit
What starts as a game of cat and mouse evolves into a game of dog and cat, then a game of animal control officer and dog, then a game of PETA activist and dog catcher . . .

Brutally hard to watch, but pretty damned amazing, pun intended.
Trailers
This Spikey batch of trailers seems to have had a theme of one man (or woman) alone. Along with a new, wow, Bullock-centric promo for Gravity and the old reliable for All Is Lost, we had:
  • Her--Theodore () is so alone after his marriage ends that he falls in love with the voice of a computer assistant (granted, it's Scarlett Johansson's voice, but still . . . ). From Spike Jonze.
  • Oldboy--Remake of the superintense Korean revenge tragedy about a man mysteriously kept in solitary confinement for twenty years. From Spike Lee.
  • Lone Survivor--Four Navy Seals on a mission in Afghanistan, but the title should come with a spoiler alert.
  • Dallas Buyers Club--The exception, this one is all about community, among early HIV-positive diagnosees seeking a medical grail.
