Young divorced mother Kate Nelligan refuses to go into a panic when her six-year-old son disappears. She manages to maintain an even emotional keel even when detective Judd Hirsch unearths several clues which point to sexual molestation. After several false leads, the truth is revealed. We won't divulge the ending, but we will note that we found it pretty hard to swallow-especially when compared to the actual case upon which Beth Gutcheson's novel and screenplay were based. Despite its cop-out denouement, Without a Trace deserves to take its place among such superior missing-children dramas as the made-for-TV Adam and Just Another Missing Kid. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Such an engrossing film! Although it appeared to be somewhat slow moving at first, this was necessary to lead us to the end result. I enjoyed Without a Trace tremendously and have recommended it highly. A lot of thought went into the directing and casting which is apparent looking back at the film as a whole. Definitely one of the best films I have seen in quite some time!

    I've seen this movie a million times, well, at least 10. The really good part is worth watching over and over again, so if it seems slow, stick with it. It's worth it!
