Plot: 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 bedrag...( read more read more... )gled, 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

    I did give this 2 stars, but I had to change it to one b/c this movie has really no redeeming qualities. I can't believe Ron Howard would do something like this. Terribly boring.

    Disgusting from the get-go. I didn't watch it past probably an hour. Evan Rachel Wood's character made my teeth grind, and the youngest girl wasn't much better. "I'll fallow yew maw, yew knaw Ah weel! So don't try t' stawp me mawww!" Argh.

    My friend Matthew is in this one. He plays the bad indian who kills the good indian on the rock. It is an epic film and the cinematography is stunning but I dislike the graphic violence.
