There's a special Boy Scout charm to it all that I was enchanted with.

A marvelous, subtly crafted elegy to a bygone era that balances its scenes of violence and gunplay with laconic humor.

Magic realism is a tricky thing to pull off in a movie, and Disappearances, the third of Mr. Craven’s films based on Mr. Mosher’s novels, only occasionally succeeds.

The beautifully photographed Disappearances is solidly old-fashioned entertainment.

If you're one of those people (like this reviewer) who can watch Kris Kristofferson do just about anything, you won't insist on the references being that solid.

Craven layers the film's central narrative concerns with mounds of metaphorical gunk, most of which proves more ponderous than entrancing.

Jay Craven's stilted adaptation of a novel by Howard Frank Mosher lacks the urgency, the poetry, or the feeling for period that might have brought the material to life, while the cast seems to be largely squandered.

Shot for only $1.7 million, but it's a thoroughly entertaining, first-class job in every way.

An utterly earnest, likable enough family-focused action-adventure.
