Missing
First there was “Searching” where a dad was looking for his missing daughter. Now here is a daughter searching for her missing mom. Using the same gimmick style, most of the onscreen images are through social media screens, film footage, & computer displays. This is what’s called a standalone sequel. When 18-year-old June (Storm Reid) discovers her mom Grace (Nia Long) & new boyfriend Kevin (Ken Leung) go missing while on vacation in Colombia, she gets stymied by foreign & FBI red tape so she starts playing Nancy Drew & fine tuning her hacking skills in this twisty mystery plot. Follow the clues & see if your suspicions are correct. This one is for the tech savvy social media geeks/true crime junkies. It’s quite a rollercoaster thrill ride.
Alien gives it 3 “babycake/junebug” stars out of 4.
