adonis98-743-186503 Both Danny Glover and Zoe do a really great job in this film the same goes for Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton. It's so moving and so sad as a film but also funny it's about Vietnam and how damaged a war can make you but sometimes friendship and love is what you need. I'm glad that this film has a 71% on Rotten Tomatoes because it deserves it but the 6.6 here on IMDb is stupid this film deserves at least an 8 it's so great and the characters are really well written the direction and the script are great. The little girl steals the show alongside Danny she thinks that everything and everyone can be good and she is right. Go watch this film now or better just go buy it i promise you you won't be disappointed.

jpmcdunn-621-245368 Ms. Weizenbaum is absolutely charming in this movie. With movie icons like Danny Glover, Linda Hamilton, Ron Perlman and David Strathairn, that is no easy fête, but Zoe steals that show.

Ismaninb Missing in America should be compared with European drama; I am thinking of titles like La Dentelliere and Una Giornata Particolara. The similarities are striking, though the stories are very different. Movies like these focus on character, relations and yes, they manipulate the spectator. There is nothing wrong with that.The secret is in the dosing. Alas the end of Missing in America is an overdose. Like others have noted, the death of Lennie was not necessary. The two subsequent scenes, especially Katie's instant healing, were absolutely not trustworthy. As a result the scene at the memorial wall s***s.Docketerman is a talented director, no doubt about it. She has the talent to get the best from her actors. Every role, not matter how small, looked like or was (essentially the same) like played by a top actor. The way she used the flashback scene reminded me of For a few dollars more; the effect was the same, though in a completely different setting. Also Docketerman made a very good use of the beautiful landscape - again the influence of Leone? She succeeded in giving the veterans a credible background. I am sorry for okieindian, but the hundreds of hurt veterans are more interesting for a drama than the millions of normal ones. These don't need comrades like Jake. It is nonsense to state, that this story is an insult; it is not about them. Neither is Missing in America a political movie like that Oliver Stone/Tom Cruise one; it is a drama of individuals.I strongly recommend Docketerman to study the titles above; another suggestion is the melodrama part of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Blondie comforting the soldier). She also must learn, that in such situations absolute silence works better than wining hobo music. It is a strong tendency in American movies to "support" emotional scenes with pseudo-emotional music. The result is always predictability and distraction. I sincerely hope that she, like all the greats, analyzes the flaws of Missing in America.It is a pity, that Docketerman spoiled a potential masterpiece. She has a great future though.

suddenstrike44 i'am a police officer on sick leave because the flu..Watched the movie on showtime,,Great movie up till the little girl getting killed,I was sure hoping she would have made it.. I must say a tear came to my eye when she got killed..I do hope we (The U.S.) have something in place for the Iraq veterans....Great job by all on this movie..We need more like this one...Our veterans are over looked in this day and time,a lot of people see our fighting men and women as not PC but if it was not for them those people would not have the right to say anything...So next time you see one of our fighting men or women in uniform,just walk up and shake his or her hand and say Thank You for serving our country...Because freedom is not free unless someone fights for it..
