This is an excellent film. Based on a true story, it presents the absolute horrors of the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile during the 1970s. The presentation and the acting are just excellent. One of Jack Lemmon's best roles, and how different from “Daphne” in “Some like it hot”! The image is not quite as sharp you might expect from a Blu-ray, certainly not an important improvement on the old DVD.
This is a film that will haunt the viewer for some time but it is the kind of film that leaves a deep satisfaction of having seen in at the end.

The horrors of Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile, as seen by a couple of naive young Americans.

Costa Gavras provides a vivid, frightening and compelling fact-based reconstruction of three Americans caught up in a right wing military coup in a fictitious but very believable South American country. A young couple with distinctly liberal tendencies come to the attention of the new authorities and the young man's father (played by Jack Lemmon) who has distinctly conservative tendencies comes to the country when his son disappears. He is initially hostile to the freewheeling lifestyle of the couple and is annoyed that he has to intervene as he cannot understand why they were in the country in the first place but he gradually relates more closely to his daughter in law (played by Sissy Spacek) and can see her point of view. They soon realise that the coup is not a purely internal matter but it had the fingerprints of the CIA all over it. Fear descends across the country, nightime curfews are viciously enforced, hundreds of people are arrested for no good reason and the bodies of innocent people increasingly fill the streets and the hospitals as the authorities crush any dissent real or impagined. Against this background the couple desperately carry out their search until it reaches a tragic conclusion.
Lemmon and Spacek are superb as the searchers and the film's portrayal of a country falling into the hands of an oppressive fascist regime is exciting, frightening and memorable. All concerned with the work are to be congratulated in creating a film of the highest quality.

compelling suspense story, don't "miss" it...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 March 2007Verified Purchase
Undoubtedly Missing turns out to be a great piece of cinema, one of the brightest works of political film-maker Costa-Gavras. Based on true events, it successfully captures the chaotic atmosphere of Chile during the first weeks of Pinochet government. Crisp and compelling, the story is based on the vain struggle of an American businessman Ed Horman to recover his son, who vanished without a trace during the helter-skelter following the right-wing political coup.
The general mood of the movie fits the story and its backdrop well with a fine score by Vangelis. Acting two controversial characters, Jack Lemmon and Sissy Spacek both deliver dazzling performances. Costa-Gavras uses an ingenious technique of flashbacks to give the people more deep background and allows them to draw conclusions from what they may have missed. This is the reason that the movie lacked a bit of clarity to the end and it causes little ambiguity.
Contrary to the movie, that Universal DVD is such a "bare to bones" disc. There are no audio options (English mono only). The transfer is poor, pictures are grainy, and of course it lacks special features. What a shame!!! I think this is a kind of movie that really does deserve special edition treatment...

Absorbing, painful and distressing masterpiece.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2012Verified Purchase
The message from this superb production has to be "It doesn't matter what you do so long you do it". The dynamo that drives the world is trade and so if it suits your interests to support a military coup in a foreign land get in there and (repeat) do it!
The "winners" are in the driving seat here: the boys in their uniforms with their automatic weapons can have fun potting off people during the hours of curfew (and at other times behind close doors), the diplomats can play loose with the truth, the industrialists will fill their order books for fresh weapons and ammunition and so on.
I cannot agree with another reviewer (3 star) that this film is slanderous towards the USA. Its documentation based upon a reality does not preclude other states of the world from being equally duplicitous and cruel in their handling of foreign affairs.
One is left with only one adjective to describe the world our species has created: "SAD".

Very moving and real account of the Pinochet's military dictatorship behavior in Chile . Here is one of the examples of the CIA and USA involvement in the violation of Human Rights at the time..and before the coup . The repression affected anyone regardless the nationality of the person.
Here he was a north American journalist who suffer under the regime. Not far from the terrorist nowadays. With the difference this was a state terrorism .See the film Highly recommended
