Talk:Prisoners (2013 film)

Plot
Just FYI the plot is all over the place. Would take some time to go back and put every event in sequential order so just be aware that certain events happen before/after where they have been placed in the section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.75.115.91 (talk) 10:24, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

I think it’s a good plot summary now, but has errors and omissions. There are factual errors, general inaccuracies, inconsistencies in names, events out of order, and sentences that don’t make sense anymore because they have been orphaned from a sentence that used to be there. Like in any writing, especially my own, there’s grammar that could be improved, some extra verbiage, and descriptions that could be clearer. I did a rewrite but it was reverted, so any suggestions as to what would make a rewrite better would be appreciated. In order to make it clearer what I’m changing and why, I’ll plan on doing the edits in phases. That way any problems with my edits can be fixed without losing the whole.

Length of plot summary
I see an editor already tagged this article as having too long a plot summary. Indeed, the plot summary is currently 1021 words. I am going to attempt to prune it down to a more appropriate length. Invertzoo (talk) 20:56, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Update: I cut it down to 701 words; a much better length. Invertzoo (talk) 21:20, 7 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, it was me who took the article to 1021 a few hours ago. It was 1324 words when I started. I made some copyediting to your edits. Good work though. --uKER (talk) 22:44, 7 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Wow, well done UKER! It was huge then! Invertzoo (talk) 00:50, 10 January 2014 (UTC) Thanks too, that was some nice copyediting. :) Invertzoo (talk) 02:58, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

I took it from 957 to 757 words in this edit. Like I said, I think the film has a fairly complex plot which may warrant a small exception to the word count. Hoof Hearted (talk) 18:25, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

I agree with it probably needing to be a bit longer than normal, especially because the movie is two and a half hours. Capuchinpilates (talk) 02:38, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Criticism section
I have no idea how to go about editing on Wikipedia, and I don't want to damage the article. I thought I'd mention that the review attributed to Roger Ebert was not actually written by Roger Ebert; it was written by Sheila O'Malley for rogerebert.com47.55.222.212 (talk) 19:55, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

I wish
I wish at the end when detective hears the whistle blowing that it showed whether Hugh jackman was found in the hole. 2601:6C0:8380:AD30:143F:633E:5394:8B3E (talk) 03:14, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
