05.02.23	Internet	I decided to watch this after seeing Jake Gyllenhaal do Hot Ones. I watched Prisoners again... I hated Michael Bay's last movie but I thought "why not." I should've paid more attention during that interview when he said Bay told him not to bother memorizing lines from the script and that they would make it up on the day. This movie is terrible. Michael Bay saw the original film without subtitles on and thought "what this needs is drone shots." That's what we got. He may think he's advancing the form by not worrying about things like continuity, character, language, logic, etc., but really he just made a shitty movie. I mean, he quotes his own movies in here. The characters in this movie have SEEN Michael Bay movies like The Rock and Bad Boys. Speaking of watching Michael Bay movies, I think this is the last one for me. I don't watch enough movies at this point to justify spending time on stuff like this. To be honest, I really only finished this one so that I could write this note. I should've watched the other Gyllenhaal hollywood remake instead.
