Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
There's a pretty good film if you give writer-director Noah Buschel a chance. The 31-year-old crafts a convincing noir tale, with a sense of realism that makes the experience pleasingly voyeuristic.
– Peter Hartlaub,
San Francisco Chronicle,
25 Dec 2009
rotten:
The real mystery here is how writer-director Noah Buschel talked recent supporting Oscar nominees Michael Shannon and Amy Ryan into doing this movie.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
18 Dec 2009
fresh:
Buschel makes striking use of the Mike Hammer/Philip Marlowe tradition to tell a story of disorientation and loss in a post-9/11 world where the Twin Towers can go missing too.
– Lisa Schwarzbaum,
Entertainment Weekly,
2 Dec 2009
fresh:
It's a great-looking movie, with an evocative use of music and, in rugged-yet-sensitive Michael Shannon, has an actor whose forceful, focused presence is the film's sturdy linchpin.
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,
1 Dec 2009
fresh:
Sluggish, stylized and frequently washed in a bilious green tint, The Missing Person is yet oddly irresistible, its omnipresent anxiety like a musical chord that neither rises nor falls.
