I found Missing just scrolling through titles to watch hoping to find something that piqued my interest. It is a thriller mystery and is rated PG-13 and is 1 hour and 50 minutes long.
The way the movie was shot was interesting. You watch the movie as if you are looking through someone’s computer screen or phone screen. It was almost as if the movie was shot on a smartphone. Every time a character was “looking” at a phone or computer, their face close up was as if they were on the phone. I think the director used a stationary camera, no wheels, and one hand-held camera. The cameras used for filming provided a distinctive and captivating viewing experience, including the scenes that were on a computer and smartphones.
I enjoyed the story overall. I liked how the dead father, boyfriend, best friend, and mom all had sinister sides, which provided a continuous shock factor. The acting was good. June was sad and depressed in the beginning, worried in the middle, and really happy in the end- though I will say it was a little too happy. I think it was because she realized how grateful she was for her mom.
To wrap things up, I must say that Missing is a fantastic film with a unique camera angle which helps with the suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat. The suspense and unexpected twists will have you guessing until the very end.
