2018 'Searching' is suspenseful, mystery for the modern Internet age

SEARCHING from STAGE 6 FILMS. According to "The Numbers" that tracks box office receipts. It has garnered $25,803,714 (million) in the United States. It grabbed $39,217,967 (million) at the Foreign box office. The worldwide total tops $65,021,681 (million) by Oct. 1, 2018.

I walked into a movie theater and finally watched this. All I can say is - Wow! 

The filmmakers approached this through the eyes of a computer screen. We see everything with "social media" that looks into the lives of an Asian family living in California. David Kim searches for his daughter Margot who disappears after a study group meeting. He is forced to search her social media and it isn't pretty. What unravels is the "dark web" that may have sucked her into something she cannot control. 

I was literally on the edge of my seat. The twists and turns in this mystery were incredible. It keeps you guessing until the very end. Check it out if you can.
