5.0 out of 5 stars This is a moody and moving film about the death of innocence, September 2, 1999

This review is from: Missing Link [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Missing Link was never meant to be an "action" movie; the cover apparently misled the previous reviewer. It is an excellent film, beautifully acted by the one lone character who appears in it. It is a posssible scenario for the extinction of early pre-hominids by emerging Homo sapiens and affords a moving portrayal of the death of innocence and the arrival on the world stage of the premeditated cruelty of which only our species is capable. I highly recommend it, but only if you are emphatically NOT looking for sometrhing of the "The Man-Beast that Ate Chicago" genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Film that doesn't fit in any category, January 20, 2005

This review is from: Missing Link [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of my favorite films. It grabs you and holds you down. It's very moving and makes you think. There is a little bit of the missing link in all of us. I tried forever to find a copy of it---finally I got it by talking a video store owner into selling me his--the only one I could find anywhere. This should be required viewing in high schools. Maybe we'd all think a little more before we did things. Excellent, fantastic, but, sadly, I think, most people wouldn't "get it".

I'd really love for this to be released on DVD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Concept for a Film, September 30, 1999

This review is from: Missing Link [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I caught this film late at night on t.v. It is completely different than what the cover suggests. However, it is interesting to see how a "one character" film can be pulled off. It is an often sad film, but the lonely "Link" (as I refer to him) had some amusing moments. Watch for the scene in which he eats berries and they have a bombastic gastrointestinal result! Not a bad film, just different.
