DVD Reviews of The Missing (Full Screen Edition)
DVD Review: An Edge of Your Seat film
Summary: 4 Stars
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 your library.
Disappointingly, there are no special features.

DVD Review: Worth owning
Summary: 5 Stars
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 snakes.
Excellent cast and the children are very believable (not always the case in film}. One can feel the struggles of the times, the heat and the dryness. Cate Blanchet projects the fear a woman in her position at the time would feel very well. She is a versatile actress. The sadness in Tommy Lee Jones's character comes through so clearly and when he is given the opportunity to help, he grabs the life line. His experience shows; as a film actor, he knows what he's doing. The shauman is so evil his hatred is positively palpable.
As does Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, Unforgiven [HD DVD], this film does not show the west in its more romantic aspects. This is gritty stuff and makes me for one, glad not to be living in that era.
I am sure a Blu-ray version is on the way, but meanwhile, this is worth owning.
DVD Review: more the expected

Summary: 5 Stars
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.DVD Review: The Searchers
Summary: 5 Stars
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.

Description of The Missing (Full Screen Edition)
The Missing is the story of Maggie Gilkeson (Cate Blanchett), a young woman raising her two daughters in an isolated and lawless wilderness. When her oldest daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) is kidnapped by a psychopathic killer with mystical powers (Eric Schweig), Maggie is forced to re-unite with her long estranged father (Tommy Lee Jones) to rescue her. The killer and his brutal cult of desperados have kidnapped several other teenage girls, leaving a trail of death and horror across the desolate landscape of the American Southwest.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
