I will say I always like the filming style of the main character(s) POV via technology. The previous missing movie and a couple "scary" movies, "unfriended" I believe. Although they can seem a bit corny, they keep my attention and keep your eyes going and ear's listening to all that is going on.
I thought this movie started off strong, although I will say some things were quite obvious straight away, and some things were a little bit of an eye roll. Like I immediately noticed all the pics sent from Kevin, you couldn't see moms face. Knew it wouldn't be her. I also found it a bit ridiculous that during Kevin's courting of the mom on the dating website, they were still sending videos and talking cryptic through the dating app when they clearly had already exchanged numbers. Nobody keeps using a dating app messenger to talk once you have their number.
Also the hacking of Kevin's email, there is no way they could have gotten that done over the phone while searing the internet in real time, like googling a town for an elementary school. And an ex con that spent however long in prison has his family tree filled out on Facebook? Nah. Also found the communication between the FBI agent and daughter far fetched as well. I don't think agents FaceTime from their office computers with a teenage family member, or share as much so soon or freely with her as it happens.
Story was def on the far fetched side, as far as the extent and capabilities of this huge kidnapping story across different countries, done by a dude fresh out of prison...but I will say I didn't expect it or the dad being alive and involved. Overall an enjoyable movie!
