Searching is a triumphant exercise in a new form of storyelling, done entirely from a computer screen. Email, videos, text messages, and webcams are the means of communicating the plot to viewers. Surprisingly enough it works. The movie itself is a solid enough "missing persons" type of thriller which minus the gimmick would only be okay at best. Still, John Cho acts his butt off and proves himself a good leading man for dramatic material like this.
