Review of Searching (2018) by Stanley C — 14 Oct 2018
This is basically MacBook: The Movie. The characters are very thin and one-dimensional and 90% of the movie is just a screen depiction of social platforms such as Yahoo Mail, Google Mail, Facebook, Tumblr and iMessage to the point that John Cho only gets about 6 minutes of on-screen presence and he's lucky to even get a sentence out.
I didn't think the big twist at the end was enough to redeem the movie. Though I still do think SEARCHING is a great step in helping the Korean-American community like myself gain a tighter grip on Hollywood.
