When this movie started, I was questioning my judgement. But by the end, I felt the action and Ghost in the Shell leanings redeemed it overall. Coming in at just over an hour, it didn't wear out its welcome. Overall, it's a tepid experience that doesn't hit the high notes nor the low notes.
Visually, the colors and layouts are top notch. With a presentation that is quite impressive, to say the least.
A mixed bag with a good premise. Parts of the movie exceedingly thin, diving too deep into character development that doesn't push things forward. Meanwhile, the concepts behind the narrative provide lots of potential that ultimately fails to deliver.
This movie was a bit of a bummer, as I really wanted to like it. I even tried watching it twice, but that turned out to be a difficult second watch. I'd only recommend it if you're running low on action thrillers and just need something to put on.
A heartwarming, funny story that carries an execution somewhere between CODA and There's Something About Mary.
Similar to films such as Heavyweights, it does a great job at making characters and their challenges more than relatable. You easily comprehend how life is and what kindness can bring into the world. Whether you have distinct challenges or not, the world can always use more kindness.
MISSING is the mystery film you need to see!
It's a mystery that doesn't rely on comedy, and suspense that doesn't rely on action/thrills to deliver a potent story. MISSING is a straight-up mystery suspense film that brings along thriller & horror elements in an entertaining and compelling way. I don't want to spoil anything, so check it out if you enjoy the sound of this!
