My quick rating - 6,6/10. I thought Searching was pretty good so I am looking forward to their next flick. This one is in the same vein as the first and only loses points from me on the fact that it is basically the same flick. The original premise of solving a mystery through free online means only is still novel enough to work with but this is so much like Searching. The difference being instead of a kidnapping, we have Storm Reid home alone while her parents go on vacation but when Mom (Nia Long) doesn't arrive at the airport she puts on her detective gloves (to type with) to find her. Instead of all the secrets being on the laptop, she will use all means of the open Internet to try and find out what happened to her mother. Writer/Director Will Merrick throws quite a few curveballs at us to keep you guessing and does so effectively. There are a couple side stories sprinkled in as well which may or may not be related and I don't give spoilers so that is up to you to see. I did think that it may have been a case of trying out a few different scenarios during the course of making this and then deciding that some of it just didn't work yet still wasn't edited out. But that is my opinion, not a fact so again, you would have to see. Overall I found the whole story engaging enough and kept my wondering throughout. Especially recommended if you liked the first one. I personally gave that one a 6,8/10 so yo can see this is hanging right there with it. The random stranger Joaquim de Almeida who gets roped into helping Reid was the highlight of the film to me. Great mix of humor along with serious in a character that was a must in this story and they cast the perfect guy to do it.
