Aneesh Chaganty directs John Cho, Debra Messing and Michelle La in this mystery thriller about a Dad’s search for his missing teenage daughter told entirely via FaceTime, search engines and social media. 

A well conceived gimmick (all the online branding and interaction rings true) and a strong lead performance make this convincing detective thriller hum. I figured out the eventual outcome quite early but was happily distracted by some well played red herrings that filled the running time. It is still only a one watcher yet one that never bores given the limited playing field its concept traps us in.
