Negative Positive
Title: Something is Missing Alright
Review: The Missing is based on a similar theme to John Wayne's The Searchers; a family member is kidnapped by renegades and must be recaptured. Unfortunately both movies also suffer from the same central problem, a boring storyline between the capture and re-capture. Both The Searchers and The Missing lose their way in a meandering, underexposed, and disjointed story that seems to have been created just to fill time getting to the final conclusion. The Missing is a tedious movie that lives up to the movie making reputation of Ron Maxwell (Gods & Generals) and not Academy Award winner Ron Howard. It is a step backward after a great movie like A Beautiful Mind.
