winter_roguejust got around to watching The Missing and, hmm, i think its a keeper. i mean, dude, brilliance putting Cate Blanchett and Tomy Lee Jones in a movie together! and the girl who played the younger sister was great (she recently played Bailey in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and made me cry, Dakota Fanning look out *lol*) i grew up watching John Wayne westerns cause m'da liked them and so the western medium is sort of like, i dunno, home or childhood to me, its nice to see a well done modern one.
i can see why The Missing didnt get a lot of rave reviews because it *is* a western and its not exactly a "everyone feels good in the end" sort of story. i really loved the TLJ character for that reason, he was different and such a jackass.
it gave me a Searchers feel ... different but similar.
