MOVIE REVIEW

My first clear memories of Michael Shannon the actor are from Oliver Stone's World Trade Center. In my review of that movie, without referring to him by name, I said I "would love to see him cut from the movie entirely." Needless to say, I didn't like him. Then came Revolutionary Road, where I said he "steals the show," and that's a movie that featured Oscar-worthy performances from Kate Winslett and Leonardo DiCaprio. In The Missing Person, a noir mystery thriller, Shannon continues to prove he's a force to be reckoned with, and the movie isn't half-bad, either. Full movie review »
