Missing is a thriller directed by Nicholas D. Johnson and Will Merrick staring Storm Reid.
Screenlife movies are those movies that tell stories through the computer screen, with hookups, video calls and so on. Not that it’s a new genre, nor is this one going to be the first blockbuster in the genre, but it has a good enough script to make an impact with its premise.
Movie Review
Fast-paced, lots of story and, above all, lots of editing. It is not the movie about “four friends” with no money who want to make a movie and, for budgetary reasons, choose this genre as a last resort: Missing is a movie with a dizzying pace, plot twists, surprises and a lot of sense of aesthetics (although these aesthetics may not please everyone).
It knows how to take advantage of everything at its disposal and teaches us that, with almost anything, great movies can be made. The story of this girl who is desperately looking for her mother, is above all, well told and knows how to make an apparent lack of everything into an exercise of style in this good thriller that, for sure, won’t bore you at all.

And if you didn’t know her – neither did we before, and she has pleasantly surprised us – then, this girl has great talent: her name is Storm Reid and, as her name indicates, she carries a storm inside her: she knows how to capture a whole torrent of emotions and she does so with energy and meaning.
A great success.
But of course, the film belongs to the directors, Nicholas D. Johnson and Will Merrick, who manage to make a sequel a true exercise in style and give us a hearty ration of entertainment – though if not great, then at least vibrant and exciting.
Enjoy.
