Movie Reviews of The Missing (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Something "missing"?
Summary: 4 Stars
I think that people who dislike this film are missing some valuable dramatic aspects. It's all about conflicts and extremes. Magic versus science, religion versus mysticism,ignorance and fact, man pitted against nature, old and young, healers and shamans.Why did the father turn away from his family and embrace the native ways? Why is the daughter living a seclusive life. What are they both running from? When the father first returned, I knew he would be the hero or the villain. This is what makes a good story...tension. Movie Review: Something is missing alright
Summary: 1 Stars
I love Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett, but to be perfectly honest, this movie was unwatchable. I do not know how I actually finished it. There was so much wrong with this film, that I was shocked by the fact. The plot is incoherent and utterly bland, as were the uninspiring performances by everyone. The bleak environment did nothing for the atmosphere of the film. Nothing about this movie interested me in any way. Boreing is an understatement. Movie Review: Like The Searchers only better
Summary: 4 Stars
This is fine storytelling with well thought performances all around. The Apache's inhumanity to their prisoners is entirely believable. Blanchett's coldness to Tommy Lee Jones is central to the story and indispencible. This film belongs among the modern classics of western film which truly make the old favorites from the 40's through the 50's seem both boring and contrived.Movie Review: The Missing (widescreen edition)
Summary: 5 Stars
Love Tommy Lee Jones, loved the movie. Good acting, directing, and location. Ron Howard gave us a superb movie. Movie Review: Cardboard characters
Summary: 3 Stars
"The Missing" had alot of potential. It had a good director, good actors, and a good storyline. However, the characters come across as being phony. Cate Blanchett is supposed to be a big tough country woman. She even speaks an octave lower than she usually does. Tommy Lee Jones is supposed to be a white man endowed with the wisdom and capabilities of the Indians. Instead he just appears to be an old man with long hair that occasionally says something in an unintelligible language. The other characters seem just as flimsy as well. Good characters that an audience can relate to really make the difference between an average movie and a great movie. For whatever reason, the characters in "The Missing" really were unbelievable.
