A lot of comparisons to The Searchers, don't buy it. Yes, it is the search for a family member who has disappeared. That's it.
The disappeared girl in this movie fell in love and left to be with her boyfriend who moved to the middle east.
Her father is a big American fan. He dresses like a cowboy and croons country and western songs at America Festivals the family attends. The youngest son is even seen sporting the confederate flag, such is their love of American values.
Her father begins a quest to find his daughter even after he receives a letter from his daughter saying she is ok and wants to be left alone. He drags his son along for years searching and after he dies in an accident his son picks up the banner and continues his quest.
There is little to find fault with in this film. capably acted, good photography and while the first half of the movie drags a little bit, the second half displays better pacing.
This movie deserves a look.
