Reaction: While not a runaway hit, the film made very healthy profits - which are clearly hard to come by this season. Hopefully this is the start of a turnaround this season now that three films have at least made money in a row.


"Unfortunately, The Prisoner is Christopher Nolan up to his Interstellar tricks: a ponderous, pretentious sci-fi mystery full of plot holes and all-around incoherence." - Reggie Dunn, Sacramento Bee



"Both director Christopher Nolan and screenwriter John Malone are becoming well-known for large, thoughtful, complicated films - and this film fits in line with their previous output." - Ben Fullmer, Knoxville News Sentinel




"It's probably impossible to watch The Prisoner without getting at least a little confused by its complicated, intricate plot, but the talent on display in front of and behind the camera makes one very forgiving." - Andy Lewis, Cincinnati Enquirer
