THE MISSING (2003) - ♦♦

Directed by - Ron Howard

Written by - Ken Kaufman (based on a novel by Thomas Eidson)

Starring - Tommy Lee Jones, Cate Blanchett

"When a long estranged father who left his daughter to adopt a Native American identity returns, his now grown ranch owner daughter send him away. However, just then her daughter goes missing and they are inevitably brought back together. Aims at being a western sensitive to all cultures, ends up being quite powerless and overstretched. In the end, the only impressive aspect of this western lies in its photography."
