Ok so has Ron Howard ever really made a bad movie? This is an awesome movie, it will grab your attention whether or not you even like westerns. The acting was incredible from the youngest to the oldest.

I can see why people didn't pick up on this. It's slow and far fetched, but the scenery and acting are fantastic. Doesn't feel as formulaic as a typical Ron Howard film. Not as rewatchable as I'd hope, but there are definitely some breathtaking scene... (read more) I can see why people didn't pick up on this.

To be honest, even though I cannot say that I enjoyed this film a great deal, there is nothing about this film that actually made me dislike it! A strange emotion, but I'll try to explain it!

First of all, I will say that- in my opinion- this is actually a very well-done film. It's got a well-written and interesting plot, lots of action and suspense, drama, and REALLY great acting from the entire cast!

Now, on the other hand... it is quite violent and dark. There are a lot of images in this film which are extremely disturbing and upsetting. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who doesn't have a hard head and a strong stomach!

All that being said, I find myself stuck inbetween liking this film and disliking it. I just think that it really is such an interesting story, and there is such great acting from all of the cast. Perhaps if it were carried out in a less dark and violent way, I could have fully embraced this movie.

In the end, I think I would have to say: if you've got the disposition for a film like this, I would recommend it.

Pretty decent thriller.

It was cool that the Apache language was used in the film. And I was relieved that Jenna Boyd was cast, instead of this being yet another Dakota Fanning movie.

Slow and boring. This is what happens when you get a director who "doesn't want to associate with a certain genre" Should be re-titled "Kill All The Indians"

Lets face it... Western is dead and Tommy just aint a real Indian. This entire thing is just too long and lacks suspense and significance. Some rescue plans are just weird and hectic... Overall: slightly above average.

The Missing is well made, suspenseful, and superlatively acted for the most part, but its harshness never feels organic to the tale. What should be devastating is just terribly unpleasant.

Easily the best western of 2003.

A taut, intriguing, expertly crafted tale reminiscent of John Ford's classic The Searchers.
