The Missing

A bit of a disappointment, this one. It's competently made but feels somehow hollow - not exactly barren (which would have been appropriate given the starkness of the settings and the harshness of the characters' lives), nor particularly 'airbrushed' or 'glossy', but just somehow missing something intangible. At no point was I really emotionally or viscerally engaged - and such engagement is pretty much the sine qua non for a successful entry in this genre, I think.
