Jack and I liked this story of a man following the digital tracks of his missing teenage daughter, displayed entirely on technological devices. Be alert--there's a lot of reading and many tiny hints to the twisty plot in this inventive format.
John Cho (last blogged for Columbus) is the dogged dad piecing together clues and Debra Messing (her movie work includes Hollywood Ending (2002), The Wedding Date (2005), and Lucky You (2007), but she's best known for 223 episodes and counting of Will & Grace, 16 of The Starter Wife, 32 of Smash, and 38 of The Mysteries of Laura) the determined detective who helps him.
This is the feature debut of director/co-writer Aneesh Chaganty, who co-wrote with Sev Ohanian (his second script). It chugs along quite well.
The music by Torin Borrowdale (new to me) can be streamed from a spotify playlist. Since it's been two weeks since we saw this, I don't remember if there are songs as well, but the playlist is great.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics and audiences, averaging 92 and 90%, are right with us on this. Due to the small screen presentation, it will be just fine to watch at home, on whatever screen you prefer, when it's released in November, 2018.
