A worthy sequel!
I loved Searching (2018) so I was surprised that it was getting a standalone sequel.
For the most part, this is a worthy sequel that retains the great visuals and the compelling mystery of Searching (2018). Storm Reid is the main lead and she gives a great performance. Her character doesn't have a great relationship with her mother and she isn't exactly being great to her. Despite that, the movie gets you to really root for her because you see her desperation and regret once her mother is missing.
I do have a couple of gripes that make me enjoy it less than Searching (2018).
1. I find it hard to believe that the police wouldn't have access to the emails needed for the investigation.
2. Once the reveal happens, I question a lot of the overly complicated plan and the believability of it.
3. I also can't believe Javier has a 2.8 star out of 5 for his service. That guy is an MVP!
Just like Searching (2018), the mystery keeps you gripped with every twist and turn. It's a great mystery worth watching!
