Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

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.

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..

I saw the movie missing in America and really loved it. I was however very disappointed about the ending. The movie progressed very nicely and set an atmosphere of hope and then all of a sudden it was taken away. It made me question our social psychic and the way we have come to expect things to happen. We tend to have a hopeful ending to things when it pertains to European and on the other hand seem to have a tragic ending whenever it involves others, especially people of color. I wonder if the movie would have a different ending if the little girl was of Europen decent. As it pertains to the veterans I think it is rather tragic that men and women who have fought for our country have been forgotten and are sometimes forced to live in some of the most deplorable conditions. The producers of this movie did an excellent job in bringing this issue to the forefront and I will definitely recommend this movie.

Being a Viet Nam veteran myself I can relate to this movie. There is so much told in this movie and how there are so many veterans still carrying the scars of Viet Nam. The acting by Danny Glover was exceptional. This was a great movie very similar to "An Unfinished Life" were these kinds of movies provide a powerful moral message. It is a shame that our population do not find that these types of movies are entertaining. A good family movie for all to watch. This movie also provides another very powerful message and one that is ignored by our government. When our veterans returned from Viet Nam our government assumed that they would just adjust and blend back into society. This was not the case as shown in this movie. The same applies today with our sons and daughters returning from Iraq. Danny Glover is a very good actor and supported by Linda Hamilton made the movie stronger. The young girl really tugged at the heartstrings.
