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

Rating:  - Worth owning
The original DVD was very clear with excellent sound. The SUPERBIT version on an HD TV connected from an up upgrading HD DVD or Blu-Ray player via HDMI cord is brilliant!

if you enjoy native american old west movies this is more then you could ecpect from the genre.the acting was good.especially Dot. i felt her passion.... the storyline has been told ..i felt it was better then the cover.....
Rating: - Great movie
Very good western and Jones & Blanchett were prefect for it. Sure was a bad landscape - I'll bet they were tired of that area. I'll be sure and never travel there.

The Missing DVD
The Missing, starring Tommy Lee Jones in an adaptation of The Searchers (John Wayne Collection)with Cate Blanchard as a frontier widow whose daughter is captured by an Indian-led outlaw gang.
Highly recommended for fans of The Searchers (Two-Disc Anniversary Edition), western movies and Tommy Lee Jones.

Rating: - Something "missing"?
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 ... Read More
