Movie Reviews of The Missing (Widescreen 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 (Widescreen Edition)
The Oscar?-winning team of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer (2001 A Beautiful Mind Best Director Best Picture) present a riveting spine-tingling thriller destined to become a classic! Academy Award?-nominee Cate Blanchett (1998 Elizabeth Best Actress in a Leading Role) is Maggie a young plainswoman raising her daughters in the desolate wilderness of New Mexico. When daughter Lily (Evan Rachel Wood Thirteen) is snatched by a dark-hooded phantom with shape-shifting powers Maggie's long-estranged father Oscar?-winner Tommy Lee Jones (1993 The Fugitive Best Actor in a Supporting Role) appears suddenly offering help. Though stunned by his return Maggie knows she must swallow both hurt and pride if she is ever to see Lily again. Unaware of the frightening events that lurk in the distance father and daughter set out to track down the fiend that took Lily. But lying in wait is horror so unspeakable it will change them forever!System Requirements:Running Time: 136 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?WESTERN/MISC. Rating:?R UPC:?043396025431 Manufacturer No:?02543Cate 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
