Amazon.com:
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:  - Cast shines, interesting story, strong female lead
Initially I was surprised at the time, that a film of this caliber, with a large cast and "epic" feel would even make it into the theater. Since modern Westerns don't tend to garner huge box office success, I was happy to see a significant amount of enthusiasm for the film. Though it stretches on in parts, the visual appeal, and the performances of the entire cast lend an authenticity that can't be ignored.
The strong lead in Cate Blanchett's character leads with a confidence that underscores ... Read More
Rating:  - An Edge of Your Seat film
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 ... Read More
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! The sound in DTS is crisp and clear; when you hear the sound of a bullet ricochet off a rock, you clearly hear the direction it comes from and then the direction it changes to after striking the rock. People breathing and the sound of horses are all very full and have a dramatic impact on the film; as do the sounds of the shauman's rattle ... Read More

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.
