The Missing [Region 2] Customer Reviews   1     2     3   ♥♥♥♥♥ Good Film Marred by Political Correctness As good as this film is, it would have been much better without the annoying political correct over-sensitivity to Amerindians. This film asks you to believe that renegade Apache Indians, who in the film murder and sometimes torture parents & guardians of pretty teenage girls in order to kidnap an sell these girls as sex slaves in Mexico, would not also rape these girls along the way to the border. In the better-written and more realistic novel "The Last Ride", on which the film is clearly based (though it differs considerably), these Indians did indeed rape and brutally treat these girls. However, in the movie the only attempted rape was by one of the despicable white men helping the Indians. But it's not enough to have also a bunch of despicable white guys in the movie (including most of the soldiers), it's got to have one of the kidnapping Indians save the girl from rape. Worse: right after this rape rescue the indian tells the girl that she is better than this white scum but "you are not better than me." Right. He's part of this vicious girl-kidnapping group of slime-bags but he's better than the victims. Guess we're supposed to think this Indian's got character. Good grief. There was even some sort of a feeble excuse given for this despicable Apache behavior - someone killed their chief. Oh, well, no wonder they're about kidnapping white girls to sell as sex slaves. Still, if you can stomach this kind of PC bowing toward Amerindians (who, by the way, did have quite a earned reputation for extreme torture - see for eg. the book "The Wild Frontier"), the film is darkly entertaining and original, and it does star the super appealing film goddess Cate Blanchett.   1     2     3   Non User
