Review of Missing in America (2005) by Lisa C — 23 Mar 2007
A strong film that could've been stronger if the supporting characters were just given a little more to go on. Perlman is barely in it, though his charisma is what carries what few scenes he has. His quiet intensity and endearing eyes are enough to imagine the pain of a veteran.
Glover is wonderful as always and the little girl gives an exceptional and tender performance against such heavyweights. Hamilton is also not in as much as she could be. THe backstory's of her and the other vets are left out too much.
Why are these vets out in the middle of nowhere to begin with? What is their relationship to each other? I give props to the director for the unconventional ending with the little girl and it is quite poignant in retrospect.
