Missing Ending, Explained

Missing is a sequel of sorts to the mystery thriller Searching (2018), in which a father uses all the technology at his disposal to track down his missing daughter. Missing adopts its predecessor’s template, and the entirety of the onscreen action plays out in video chats, phone calls, text messages, old video footage, and any other bits and bobs scattered on the internet. While the screenlife thriller genre may not have the jolt of originality that it once did, first-time directors Will Merrick and Nick Johnson attempt to shake up the formula — mostly successfully.
