Critic Reviews:
- " Good movie westerns these days may be too few and far between, but Ron Howard's The Missing is almost a great one. " – Michael Wilmington
- " As for Blanchett, she's simply wonderful. She has played her share of queenly figures, but her acting essence is, emotionally speaking, plain-Jane. She's a straight shooter, with an uncanny ability to find a character's spine and communicate it without fuss or feathers. " – Richard Schickel
- " Howard’s inclination toward graphic, gruesome violence, reminiscent of Ransom’s grisly denouement, The Missing is, at its core, a story well-told and built upon the solid foundation of Blanchett’s supremely capable performance. " – James Berardinelli
