Movie Reviews of Missing
Movie Review: Missing
Summary: 5 Stars
Director Costa-Gavras's first American made film is a stunning political thriller, elevated not only by the ring of truth but a shattering Oscar-nominated performance by Lemmon. His Ed Horman is an imperfect father but a good American, who rightly feels betrayed by the country he trusted, but also by his own failure and inability to make peace with a son he never fully accepted or understood. Spacek makes the complex character of Beth her own, and we feel immeasurable sympathy for this odd couple as they grope for answers they won't enjoy hearing. A potent, heartbreaking drama of the first order.Movie Review: Losing faith
Summary: 5 Stars
A young man suddenly disappears during a coup in a Latin American country, and his father (played by Jack Lemmon) comes looking for him, having to cut through reams of red tape all the way. He is greatly disillusioned by the establishment he holds so high when he finds out his son is dead (so they say), and the government has tried to cover it up. Lemmon is excellent, and the story is crisp and compelling. Forget the politics and enjoy. Worth a watch.Movie Review: Harrowing and unforgettable
Summary: 5 Stars
Sissy Spacek gives her usual solid performance here, and if you thought Jack Lemmon was only suited to comedies...well, think again. It's frightening to think that not only were U.S. agencies involved in disappearances, torture and murder, but also that it happened to thousands of people and we'll never know the details or even where the bodies are.
Movie Review: One of the Top Ten Films of All Time - Why no DVD yet?!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie certainly ranks among the best ever made. Other reviewers have outlined it here on Amazon so my only question is Why isn't it on DVD yet? We've been waiting for years for this classic. The film was also very hard to find in video rental shops. It must be a threat to somebody ;). C'mon guys, release this! Let the truth be told.Movie Review: The type of movies they should make more of
Summary: 5 Stars
"Missing" is a very well acted and very moving film. It raises a lot of morality questions about the US Government's involvement in the Chilean Military Coup, and uncovers the deception and horror even acted against its own people. There should be more films like this rather than the usual formula of 'America is always right'.
