Blanchett and Jones are matched well as two idiosyncratic people. There's a symbiosis to their performances as stubborn loners. The filmmaking is competent but never thrilling.

| Original Score: C | Jan 25, 2021

a monotonous, dreary, wretched kitchen sink drama from post-Civil War New Mexico

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 12, 2016

Ron Howard's vividly gritty and brutally arresting Western is a powerfully effective piece of work.

Basically, The Missing is Ron Howard's John Ford impersonation, and the end result is as strangely schizophrenic as it sounds.

The Missing est un suspense des plus ordinaires.

A western with a twist: the bad guy, who happens to be Native American, is also a sorcerer.
