Movie Reviews of The Missing (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: A DARING NEW SPIN ON THE WESTERN GENRE!
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Missing" is Ron Maxwell's take on one of America's greatest genres, the Western. What makes this one unique is the mystic elements infused into a fascinating tale an estranged father and daughter teaming up to find her daughter, who's been captured to be sold into Mexico by a team lead by an Brujo, or Indian witch. Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett lead a terrific cast, while the direction, cinematography and music come together beautifully. While it is a bit slow at times, the great elements make this a powerful film that fans of the genre will surely enjoy!
Movie/DVD Grade: A-
Summary of The Missing (Widescreen 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
