The new John Cho thriller says a lot about our fears of living life too online

'Screenlife' films are intended to free filmmakers to reinvent storytelling for an online age but some of the late twists here are formulaic 

Aneesh Chaganty's "Search" does begin to lose steam near its very end, but nonetheless, the twists keep it fresh, alive, and clickable.

In "Searching," a father (John Cho) frantically seeks to find out what's happened to his daughter, who never came home. A tense, inventive thriller.

John Cho stars in a thriller that takes place entirely on computer and smartphone screens, and somehow, it works.

John Cho's star power drives a gripping techno-thriller that uses screens to play out a nightmare scenario.

It's every parent’s worst nightmare. In Searching a dad hacks into his teen’s computer — which is bound to remind smart members of Generation Z to upgrade their privacy settings. But seriously, what happens in Aneesh Chaganty’s ingenious drama will induce panic.
