“Searching” (**1/2 out of four) was an interesting and intriguing online thriller done from the POV of computers about a father (John Cho) whose increasingly desperate search to find his missing 16-year old daughter (Michelle La) leads him to break into her laptop to piece together the multiple clues which he finds point in all different directions. Stately and becalmed thriller holds you without being fully riveting and never fully takes off. Unavoidably, the gimmick of watching the action through computers and smartphones grows tiresome after a while. Cho is first-rate in the lead and makes up for a lot.
