Missing takes the same formula of Searching and expands on it in every single way. There were so many new folds in technology that were used in the film based on a younger character's perspective and technological innovations since 2018. The editing was fantastic with some very creative mashups of different apps in certain montages. While the acting is not as good as the original, mainly due to the absence of John Cho, everyone does enough to maintain a sense of believability in the plot. This film for me was much more gripping than the original, the pace and tension was amped up creating a very streamlined viewing experience. I looked at my phone thinking the movie was only 30 minutes in, and it was over an hour, it flew by. There were plenty of twists in this film, some I could see coming and other that I was completely blown away by. Towards the end, a certain plot point was introduced that almost lost me, but it turns it self around and saves it from ruining the entire experience. I wish the ending would have been better, but overall it was great film that improves on the original. Score: 81% Verdict: Great

Okay. Damn. Woah. What? Come again? This was brilliant. The twists, the turns, plot twist on top of plot twist, everything hit the mark and I am just ASTOUNDED. The writers did amazing with this, and I cannot believe ho well it all connected. I am just... astounded. I don't have much to say other than goddamn, I actually want a sequel to this. I don't want a sequel to this because it would likely absolutely ruin the charm of this. This wasa wild ride from start to finish, and I cannot state enough how good this is. Give it a go; easily one of the best movies of this year.

Storm Reid ("June") wakes up a bit the worst for wear one morning only to find she is meant to be at the airport picking up her mother and her boyfriend who are returning to the United Sates after a trip to Colombia. Oddly, the pair are no-shows and soon she is caught in a mystery that could involve kidnapping and the FBI as the young woman tries to find out just where "Grace" and "Kevin" have gone! What now ensues is actually quite a scarily effective treatise on just how easy it is for an internet-savvy teenager to use some fairly basic navigational skills and a fair degree of common sense too use the web to acquire a comprehensive knowledge of the missing couple. For me, too much of this happens on hard to follow busy laptop or phone screens, and the story itself has one or two pretty substantial holes - those becoming annoyingly evident and implausible as the plot develops. Still, it's a decent effort from Reid and is an effectively paced drama that just about keeps the interest for the almost two hours it takes us to reach the really rather convoluted and far-fetched resolution.

Stupid movie. SPOLIER: This teenager black girl (who is very annoying brat by the way) is super smart, always guesses everything and bright ideas always come to her mind. And of course "bad" white dad turns out bad who's trying to kill her mom and hurt her. Message is very clear from this movie! Typical woke garbage from Hollywood, plus plot is too unrealistic and feels like a soap opera, actually this movie is a soap opera.
