Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Missing is political filmmaker extraordinaire Costa-Gavras's compelling, controversial dramatization of the search for American journalist Charles Horman, who mysteriously disappeared during the 1973 coup in Chile. Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek give magnetic, emotionally commanding performances as Horman's father and wife, who are led by U.S. embassy and consulate officials through a series of bureaucratic dead-ends before eventually uncovering the terrifying facts about Charles's fate and disillusioning truths about their government. Written and directed with clarity and conscience, the Academy Award winning Missing is a testament to Costa-Gavras's daring.

Amazon.com essential video:
The peril facing a lone American amid Third World political turmoil is elegantly communicated in this important film from Costa-Gavras (Z), adapted by the director and Donald Stewart from Thomas Hauser's nonfiction book. The key to its power onscreen stems from the decision not to center the action merely on the disappearance of Charles Horman (John Shea), but also on the search for him by his father Ed (Jack Lemmon)--and on Ed's discovery of a son he never knew. The Oscar-winning script flows freely between that search and Charles's earlier experiences in the unnamed country (in the true account, Chile). Providing a link between those two stories is Charles's wife Beth (Sissy Spacek), who follows her father-in-law around a country in chaos, teeming with reckless authority and disinterested American diplomats (epitomized by ace character actor David Clennon). The film, which was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar and won the Cannes Film Festival's top prize, is certainly manipulative, but it works because of its finely detailed human elements. Usually emotionally extroverted, Lemmon gives one of his finest performances playing against that type--here, he's a controlled, intellectual man who learns more about his son, and his country, than he ever dreamed he would. --Doug Thomas

- Best Supporting Roles I've seen yetI just had to own a movie with Sissy Spacek, she's absolutely wonderful and this has to be her best showing to date. Jack Lemmon's not to shabby either.

- Gift of DVD MissingThis is an old movie that someone requested as a gift. I found it, bought it, and the recipient was very pleased. I am not rating the content, since I didn't see it this time around, although I saw the film years ago. It is about the political takeover by Pinochet of the country of Chile (although it doesn't specify this in the film). It shows what this military dictator did to his opponents.

- One of the best films I have seen for a whileThis review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film
Missing is a film based on the true story of the disappearance Charles Horman.
Charles Horman was an American freelance journalist living in Chile and was kidnapped and murdered by the Chilean military during the 1973 coup d'etat.
The film alleges that he was killed because he saw and knew too much and could incriminate the US government in the coup and that the US government was complicit ... Read More

- A Powerful Critique of U.S. Foreign PolicyCosta-Gavras' Missing was part of an exciting trend in early 1980s cinema that included films like The Year of Living Dangerously, Under Fire, The Killing Fields, and Salvador (Special Edition) - powerful, politically-charged exposes of injustices happening all over the world.
The first disc includes a theatrical trailer.
The second disc starts off with two video interviews with Costa-Gavras - one done just after Missing's U.S. premiere and one done for the 2006 French ... Read More
