Movie Reviews of The Missing (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: An Edge of Your Seat film
Summary: 4 Stars
The Missing is a high drama about interpersonal conflicts which just happens to occur in the Old West. It is also a standard action Western, but the characters are fully developed and carry the story.
The heat is always up and the movie is intense. This film has a great cast and an excellent script. Although brutal for a Ron Howard film, he does an great job of directing. Like any really good Western, the bad guy is bad to the bone. If you like Westerns or dramas, you should add The Missing to your library.
Disappointingly, there are no special features.

Summary of The Missing (Full Screen Edition)
The Missing is the story of Maggie Gilkeson (Cate Blanchett), a young woman raising her two daughters in an isolated and lawless wilderness. When her oldest daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) is kidnapped by a psychopathic killer with mystical powers (Eric Schweig), Maggie is forced to re-unite with her long estranged father (Tommy Lee Jones) to rescue her. The killer and his brutal cult of desperados have kidnapped several other teenage girls, leaving a trail of death and horror across the desolate landscape of the American Southwest.Cate Blanchett blazes through The Missing, a new Western directed by Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13). The camera truly loves the planes of her face; even dusty and bedraggled, she radiates star power--which is good, because The Missing needs it. When her daughter is kidnapped by renegade Indians, Maggie Gilkeson (Blanchett) is forced to turn to her estranged father (Tommy Lee Jones, Men in Black, The Fugitive), a man who abandoned her as a child to join an Indian tribe. Together, they pursue a malignant brujo (or witch), who sells young girls in Mexico. The Missing features solid supporting performances from Evan Rachel Wood, Eric Schweig, Aaron Eckhart, Val Kilmer, and feisty young Jenna Boyd as Maggie's youngest daughter Dot, who refuses to be left behind. Despite the cast and some gorgeous cinematography, though, The Missing never finds its stride. --Bret Fetzer
