An gritty western thriller that is just okay. It settles for being bleak and violent, which doesn't add much. |

What I loved about this movie most was Ron Howard's sense of electrifying suspense, yet he maintains control in a very Ron Howard-esque way. Tommy Lee Jones is not my favorite actor in the world, yet I believed him in this role, and everything Cate Blanchett does is gold. Evan Rachel Wood was entirely too believable in this role [she's very good despite who she's dating]. The intensity of the fights, the possessions, and all were welcomed and uncomfortable. This movie worked. It just did. |

I really liked this film. It features Marilyn Manson's future girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood. Cate Blanchett is good in this. |

"The Missing" by Yojimbo |

The Missing starts well enough with the usual striking panoramas and spit and dust grittiness of the post Leone western and a stand out cast fill the screen with their formidable presence. Unfortunately Ron Howard's soulless direction means that the plot stutters and stalls from one clod hopping set piece to another as the long, drawn out chase leads to a smattering of nearly-but-not-quite action sequences that never really have a chance to get going, while the girls scream and get themselves into trouble at regular intervals to provide some inadequate "suspense". The occasional brushes with native American voodoo just seem out of place and vaguely absurd a... |
