The Vanishing (1993)

Cast: Jeff Bridges (Barney Cousins), Kiefer Sutherland (Jeff Harriman), Nancy Travis (Rita Baker), Sandra Bullock (Diane Shaver)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's The Vanishing page.

I'm a huge fan of Jeff Bridges and Kiefer Sutherland, so I had to check this out when I noticed it when searching the movie channels. It's probably one of my least favorite Jeff Bridges performances, but the movie was still very entertaining. It's amazing how little Sandra Bullock has changed over the years. She looks exactly the same in the most recent movie I saw her in (Premonition).

The Vanishing initially seemed like it was going to be a movie just about abductions. Then, it seemed like it would concentrate on revenge. However, this mystery/thriller managed to stay interesting throughout the movie, since you never really knew exactly where it was going. It's a bit dated, but definitely worth watching if you get the chance - even if it's just to see a younger Kiefer Sutherland.

Grade: C+
