Comments: How far would you go, how much would you sacrifice to get back what you have lost?

Summary: 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"
