A solid suspenseful script and wonderful use of shots are not to be missed.

As a suspense film, I can only say that while the film has left enough clues for the audience, the story has turned into many surprises. Only the very attentive have a chance to catch the thread. Every time the reversal of the plot happens in the movie theater, there are exclamations of "No way?" "I knew it! Wait, isn't it?"

The rhythm of the plot is tight, and the wonderful and natural acting skills of the actors make people feel no pressure to lead into the role, and the heart is also tightened step by step. The plot begins when a father finds out that his daughter is missing and has no idea where to start. I won't talk about it later, it won't be spoilers, it's too exciting, the script is solid and there is no falsehood. There is drama in every second.

The most important feature of this film is that all plot development and all shots use computer and mobile phone shots. We seem to be sitting in front of computers and mobile phones, through video calls, social networks, online news reports, live news, monitor video, etc. Wait, track the development of events, and follow the protagonist's mental journey. It's too familiar and unfamiliar to us. Familiarity is this is our life. The strangeness is that we have left so many traces on the Internet that we do not know.

Another wonderful point is that an Asian family is used as the protagonist, and the rare Asian father is used as the entry point to show that a father has really fulfilled his father's responsibilities in his life with his daughter?

This is probably the best suspense movie I've seen this year. none of them.
