Jake Gyllenhaal as Loki looking back at a person offscreen in Prisoners

The Big Picture Denis Villeneuve's 2013 crime drama, Prisoners, starred powerhouse actors like Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman. Written by Aaron Guzikowski and shot by the legendary Roger Deakins, the film tells the story of the abduction and subsequent search for two little girls, Anna and Joy, that go missing on Thanksgiving Day.

In just a couple of minutes or so of dialogue, it's revealed by a forensic examiner that a book called Finding the Invisible Man was found in Bob Taylor's possession and the mazes drawn by Taylor resemble the last maze in the book. The book is said to be about a theory that a string of child abductions were all performed by the same person, who was never caught.

Detective Loki approaches the investigation by the book. When Loki hits a wall, he turns around and finds another way. For example, when Alex Jones' RV is found to have no physical evidence linking him to the crime, it isn't Loki who is upset he is released - its Keller. Loki understands that even if there is something that Alex Jones is hiding, he isn't going to find it from endless interrogation and breaking the rules.
