The Vanishing Ratings & Reviews

  • jameshatton_ukNovember 1, 2025
    It's okay as an abduction thriller. I liked the character of Barney because he seems like such a friendly and gentle civilised man but is a psycho. By all accounts the Dutch 1998 movie, Spoorloos, is supposed to be superb so will give that a watch at some point.
