Some thrillers have a good gimmick and not much else. Searching is one of the rare ones that takes a gimmick, fully commits to it, and actually makes it better as the story goes on. Told almost entirely through laptop screens, phone calls, apps, and video chats, the 2018 mystery follows a father trying to piece together what happened after his teenage daughter disappears. That whole-screen format is the obvious hook, but the bigger reason it works is that the movie is genuinely tense, emotionally grounded, and constantly moving. It’s also part of Paramount+’s May 1 lineup.
