Can we all take a moment to appreciate that Javi is the MVP and had no wild plot twists or fantastical connection to everything? That he was just a genuinely good dude trying to help?
Also a genuinely good guy who doesn't die and instead gets a happy ending???
apparently it was implied in the movies ending that unfiction cut javi out which is a great shame. he's a great man for crying out loud its a crime to cut him
fr
@@orionfight2973 wait wdym?
😌😌😌😌 frfr
@@Pablo_Martin_aa If u look closely at June's messages to Vee at the end, it says "Vee liked the message 'and they cut Javi out smh'"
Javier seems like a far better private investigator than taco delivery man
His true calling lol
My dogs a better private investigator than any stoner out there delivering taco bell....
That dude was in a movie with Harrison Ford called Clear and Present Danger. Amazing movie.
I don’t get why he had such terrible reviews. He was so great. 😅
@@HeatherHolt Maybe if those people had asked him to search for their missing family, instead of delivering tacos, they would've seen the real him
Does anyone else feel terrible for Heather? /: Poor lady got caught in the fire just to protect her client/turned best friend's daughter and to keep them safe.
yea but it was the dad who killed her
Yeah that’s the life of lawyers, here in our country lots of lawyers get killed for that.
@@ShadowBlack54 which country is that
@@honinakecheta601hahahahaha fr
Yes.
I love the slow reveal of the woman on the trip not being her mom. Like wtf. It was oddly scary. Like what I saw was not real.
started to get the chills fr
Yeah for some reason it scared me and idk why lbs
@@kim8606 I was screaming 😱 jump scare. I was wondering why he was sending the daughter photos instead of her mom
nah that shit fucked me up
Agreed, it was honestly really scary. Just gave me goosebumps
javi was my favorite character. he chose to help june even though it wasn’t his problem, and even after june disrespected him, he still helped her. literal GOAT!!!!
Exactly!!! He was a big help to Javi.
I guess we can give him credit. He was trying to help at the end, but it was out of his hands at that point. If she hadn’t been disconnected from the internet he definitely would have called the cops for her.
Same top tier favorite character, about time we have a great movie again 10/10 for me
he was a real one
@@zy1an he was THE real one. Didn’t have anything to do with it but still carried it on his back
I really thought Javi was gonna be the villain lol. Turns out he's just a really good and upstanding guy.
Its maybe the second time I see Joaquim de Almeida in a role that isnt a mexican drug lord or a corrupt politician, so its understandable.
@@Mrfirstmonth he was awesome in the movie Clear and Present Danger with Harrison Ford.
@@brettbaratheon9776 yes he is maybe the only actor from my country that achieved International stardom.
@CrimsonEclipse18 I'm glad he made up with his son at the end🥲💯💯💯💯🧔🏾♂️
@@jackiechun5817 me too that was the sweetest thing just to see her say "don't worry he will always love you" and it shows a picof him with his son made me cry happy tears
the voicemail part killed me. after my nanna passed all i could do was listen to the voicemails she left me. some of them she’s irritated, some are just silence because she was bad with phones, and some are just her asking me to wake up or if i want to go get icecream. it breaks my heart
🫂🫂🫂🫂
💜💜💜
Sorry for your loss
I totally get this. I would love to have some voicemails from my nana to listen to now.
Sorry for your loss, I understand I have my dads and my grandmother (his mom), his dad didn't use a phone but we have home movies thankfully. It took me a while to even be able to hear my dads voice, he also has a youtube channel with tons of stuff he did too so I can still hear him.
First we got Searching.
Now we get Missing.
Next we’ll get Seeking
Looking
resting
Finding
@@GalakStariNemo
was thinking lost gone or dissappeared lmao
I thought the birth-dad's original plan was to stage his ex-wife's disappearance overseas (using the double), kill her, and then show back up in his daughter's life as a hero (to her), maybe torturing his ex for a few days, or using her in case he needed any questions answered. I figure that's why he didn't go pick his daughter up immediately, even though he knew where she was, he was hoping she'd believe the story he'd created about her mother getting engaged and abandoning her. I think he only switched plans when his daughter started to really unravel the deception around the woman his partner in crime was using as the decoy. When he saw his own daughter was unravelling the plot, that's when he went and grabbed her, and from then his plan was improvised.
Agree. If you take a close look of the screen , every time the doorbell cam turned on , there is a silver civic(dad's car) parking on the street.(either near the front yard or across the street , but it's always in the shot).
He is "keeping a eye on her" since the very beginning........just waiting for the plan to works.....He just didn't expect the daughter being that good at solving the case.(or jump to action that quickly).
Exactly
You’re so right-this is a great comment!
My fault for not watching the whole video before looking at the comments
@@mhikari92 oh wow the details in this series
simple the dad had planned on murdering the mom and hiding her as the story of the kidnapping in south america would lead people to think she probably got lost there throwing any suspicion away, I presume he was planning on returning into the daughters life at that point when she would be alone, vulnerable mourning her dead lost mom, however the plan got ruined when junebug went all detective mode..
Great summation. I agree and I thought it worked fine as a twist.
Yes the plan mess up when junebug found out the double of her mom. Now they investigate her.
The added element being that he wanted to torture the mom first by having her “locked up like he was” before he killed her. It was an act of revenge against the mom, not him trying to find out where June was.
@@artistichick1701 This. It's quite clear he knew where June was.
Huge plot hole, why didnt the dad have junes real mom go to columbia? There wouldve been no loose ends, he couldve bonked her on the head there. It seems like so much unnecessary work to find a double. UNLESS he wanted to keep her alive. Which is weird bcs theres no reason to, especially if he wants to reunite with june.
I mean… sometimes it’s nice to have a happy ending. I usually like more realistic bittersweet endings but this one wasn’t bad. Lots of silly errors but overall sweet. I like seeing mother-daughter movies that end happily :)
Do you not believe good things can happen?
@@ollehkacb I think they're possible but using data gathered from my own life I've found that they're statistically unlikely.
@@arthas640 I see. I hope you fortune changes, as does your outlook on life.
@Miel H I hate that they ALWAYS down the killer, then just run away...leaving the killer right there weapon there too😒😒😒😒 imagine if she had picked up the gun and emptied the clip in his fk'ing face💥💥💥👀. She's lucky he ONLY wounded her and didn't just finish her off BEFORE locking them both up... especially considering he was ALREADY pissed.😒😒😒😒💯💯💯🧔🏾♂️
@@jackiechun5817 I'm a firm believer in the double tap. There's a reason why many soldiers and some police are trained to put several rounds into an enemy. Even before guns they'd often stab dead bodies at least once because it wasnt uncommon for wounded men or even people pretending to be dead to stab you when you got close to them or had your back turned; that's even one of the reasons why some spears had a second point on the butt of the spear and it's why some daggers like the Stiletto were developed.
Am I the only one that thinks this movie is the most creative for putting domestic violence awareness in a very artistic and scary way but also the whole story is literally "plot twist, after plot twist after plot tiwst after plot twist." And June isn't a cliché character, she is very smart and knows how to use all these internet stuff. Very good critical thinker.
Javi is a really nice guy I’m glad that he got back with his son.
Throughout the movie I really thought that the Grace did something really bad which is why she kept her past hidden. I thought she killed the dad or something as it turns out the dad is responsible for everything.
That would have been more interesting.
@@smithtown00nah the way the movie did was more interesting because of the element of subverting all expectations that many will think
It’s kind of ironic how June’s airport sign says “Welcome back from prison” when she was being held prisoner by her dad
@@abbyc9924interesting foreshadowing in a way then!
It will never not be weird to see this type of movie use a whole bunch of real-life apps and services, and it does not feel like product placement.
Like sure, they occasionally make up a service (presumably because the real life equivalents didn't want to show the audience at home how easy it would be for your account with them to be hacked) but that's fine.
Like no one app or site magically has all the answers, she has to work within the limitations that each has in the real world.
Provides a nice layer of realism to the whole thing
Yeah, the movies are made pretty well. Just not that good overall to me. Not rewatchable either unless you're an Easter Egg hound.
Wow I never thought about that with product placement 😮
I like the found footage genre and the Aesthetics and stuff but, this movie even watching a small part of it, just irritated me I do not like it at all. Web browsers and the fact this movie requires that you believe that people are investigating and interviewing people over the internet and Skyping all of this, it is just goofy goofy and a bit lazy. Hard PASS... Even the original. 👎🤨
@@neonicon8500 nobody asked you
I agree, maybe I got conditioned by UA-cam and Netflix, but if I find a brand too noticeable I immediately think *product placement*.
I love this, it shows how technology can be used for almost anything and how it can LITERALLY save peoples lives. I should show my grandma this movie cuz she feels like technology is useless smh 💀
Fr!!
Can't believe the five editors of Searching and Run ended up directing Missing. It went full circle, and pretty cool.
Javi, the man. And through all those twists and turns, the surprise ending, it all comes down to a happy ending for them. Bravo
the mom said that Havi added her to chat so who knows maybe they will get together because Grace is a good mom and Javi is a nice person. Javi also said that June reminds him of his son. He treats her like a daughter
It was funny, my mom hardly goes to movies, but she shared that her and a friend saw this and she was so negative about the twist. She was pissed that the movie spends time insisting that the dad is dead only to make him the one behind it and suggesting the writers needed to go get lessons, that it's not a twist to tell people it can't be something/someone so that they never think it's that, but then go "aha, but it is that". Rarely have I heard her so mad at something so inconsequential as a movie plot, but she was.
Tbf it is ridiculously stupid
Sorta like a deus ex machina but for twists given there was little hints to it being the father, can sorta see why she didn't like it.
expectations subverted 😂
ahh come on, everyone knows that you can't be sure that someone is dead unless you see a body, if anything, isn;t it a red herring to constantly remind the audience that the father is dead, even though no one else talks about his death besides the main character.
Honestly, my issue was with the tired tropes of 'the dad is super evilly abusive' & 'haha! We fooled you TWICE!' But this is honestly a very valid point too. It would've been such a better movie if it HAD been the mom you ended up stealing her kid & getting the dad sent to prison, as it would've been a twist on a tired trope, & WE COULD HAVE ACTUALLY MANAGED TO GUESS IT! Not setting up twists so that the audience has no way to figure them out isn't good storytelling, you're just mad that your audience is smart!
Can we appreciate how Siri played a huge part in this movie?! Like she saved June’s life, honestly! 😮
I was actually hoping Javi would save the day and call the US embassy to get Agent Park moving. But June saved herself which works too haha
Regarding why Daddy went to all the needless trouble getting June when he does and snatching his wife; I'd just chalk it up to wanting revenge on his wife.
I just watched a true crime documentary about a man who killed his twin daughters, then himself, because his wife was leaving him; he was abusive too. So he punished his soon-to-be ex by killing their daughters and killed himself to escape punishment, the coward.
Omg I heard about that case, sometimes people can be so selfish and filled with revenge!! Smh.
Big mistake in this movie, evidence gained illegally is only unusable by the police if it's the police themselves that get it illegally.
Facts!
Yeah I thought that was the case!
yeah but after June let's them know the police where the information is, the police can log in to Kevin or the mom's account and get the information illegally themselves
they just didn't show that part is all
@@naylisyazwina6836 What you’re missing is… she can give them the information herself
man you got me addicted to these vids this is like all ive been watching for a couple days now
Lol
He got your hooked!
Soon it’ll turn into a year 😂😂
been watching a lot for 2 weeks but he has infinite videos on the channel
bruh that scream scared the shit out of me.
Lol
Seriously
bruh he trippin LMAO
It gave me flashbacks to the "I feel good" song
Javi is the best part of this movie by far. I need a spin-off of him and his son become PI’s and busting drug rings in Columbia.
This movie was surprisingly decent for a horror movie spinoff/sequel/successor
Javi was the best, no questions, plenty of help and gave good advice ❤️
I can see the dad going after the mom still to because for abusers it is all about control and for him just hurting her by kidnapping June would never be good enough.
25:46 I think what the Dad originally planned was to get the Mom out of the way first, orchestrate the kidnapping in Colombia with Kevin and dupe Mom, waited until the search was over while monitoring June (and probably kill Mom?), then he would proceed to come back to June's life. But as the story progressed he realized the plan was ruined and he was about to be found out, so in panic he just kidnapped June.
He had the entirety of the trip to just show up and introduce himself to his daughter though, before the search even started. He could have had Kevin distract Grace while he got acquainted with June, and then play the victim when she returned and pretend she set him up to get rid of him and have June to herself. Dude was watching her so he knew she had a strained relationship with her mother, and that he could probably manipulate her. It doesn't make sense for him to wait that long tbh. Also dumb to drive them to the airport, he could have easily been recognized by the mom and she could have called for help. Honestly the more I think about it, the less sense this movie makes.
And if you notice, there is a message from grace to kevin for thanking him for fixing june's laptop, which is the explanation as to how june's dad was able to monitor all of june's internet activity, it was kevin who did it by order from june's dad.
Sorry for bad english.
I enjoyed this movie a lot and the storytelling was very effective and captivating. The structural choice of showing everything through desktop/phone never felt distracting, it just really helpt me feel engaged and like I was right there. The plot twists were well done and had my at the edge of my seat. There were some issues for me regarding pacing and some plotholes
I just loved that there were ppl I recognized in this movie, I'm a big fan of Nia & Storm
hoping to see more like this w/ proper character development, its sorely lacking nowadays
I love these types of films. I’m glad this genre came to be !
Thanks for all the work you put into these!
Are these going to become the new found footage movie?
I don't think so, we had the unfriended movies and then basically nothing afterwards. Especially since this is even more limited than found footage as a story engine. Would work better in a video game though, like Simulacra or HypnOS
Naw, they really aren't good enough to be the new thing
@@neonicon8500 I dunno that one with the journalist trying to infiltrate isis is pretty good! It’s a neat genre
@@Mmmmmmm57293 I ain't even heard of it so must not be that good
These are not in the same vein
There are plenty of others. Aside form Unfriended, others that stood out to me were Grave Encounters, Gonjiam Asylum, Hell House, LLC, and DeadStream, which was released last year. There are plenty of others, but these are the more recent ones I liked that came to mind.
I was so excited to see your new video that I skipped the ads as soon as I could lol but I always rewatch it and let all the ads roll by because I know it helps content creators! Thank you for these videos, I love them! 🍿 🎥 ❤
been watching for years! love that your still around
I think you should do Nocebo (2022) next! It’s a psychological thriller that I really enjoyed and I think FoundFlix can give an interesting commentary on it. Great video as always!
I thought the dad was planning on killing the mom and making it look like she either was kidnapped/killed in another country or she abandoned the daughter. Then he would come in and get custody of the daughter without a stitch and look like the good guy from the start. But due to the daughter intervening with the case and almost figuring it out he had to improvise. It was the daughter’s intervention that lead to his downfall. Anyway, those were my thoughts (I watch way too much Law&Order SVU if you can’t tell! Lol 😂)
Storm Reid is such an underrated actress, she’s amazing
Bruh “We got cops outside your home” why are the cops always so useless. Her dad just strolled into her house like nothing.
if you actually pay attention to the movie on the ring cam the cops left before he got there because the case is cold
This is a Javi appreciation post, in which we appreciate and respect Javi. Have fun respecting!
Love your videos man, your humour has kept me alive over the years
Great video as always. Really want to see you cover Nocebo someday.
Javier single handedly being the best human being on the planet.
Thank you for covering videos so well. I low key look forward to these more than I should 😂😂😂❤❤
Love you, man. i always give you a like before I start the video. You deserve it for the great content. Keep up the good work
love your content keep up the fantastic work especially on the paranormal activity it felt like a movie in itself
Thank you for always keeping entertained
thank you for this recap video! very impressive movie, love Nia and Storm!
appreciate you man still my favorite movie reviewer
To say I've been waiting for this movie impatiently would be an understatement.
@@lesyeuxsansvisage1157 I truly don’t know. Your asking the wrong gal 🤷🏾♀️ 😂
@@lesyeuxsansvisage1157 i don’t think they’re waiting for an explanation, but they just enjoy the content foundflix presents, and especially on this one. you shouldn’t try and imply someone is stupid based upon them wanting to see how one of their favourite content creators interprets a film :)
@@lesyeuxsansvisage1157 oh shit are you trynna insult ne. I meant k was excited for the movie to be released when I saw the trailer
Yes! New video! Best videos to play when trying to work late 😊 Great video as always foundflix! Definitely bunny approved! He likes to sit and watch with me 😂
Wait are you bunnycake310?? 😂😂😂
I really enjoy your content. Keep up the great work and stay healthy
This channel, as a person who can't watch horror because of a disability, is the best way I can enjoy horror and suspense films. Thank you! ❤
Why your disability stop you from watching horror movies???
@im.frankk My form of OSDD and anxiety cause me to endure high levels of stress when engaging in things that cause tension to where I can not simply sit and enjoy the medium. It happens in books and gaming, too, when it gets a bit to visceral in imagery. It's been like that since I was a kid, and never really went away. The Horror genre is full of tension and since my brain can't process it correctly, I find it difficult to enjoy.
Always great content bruv, could you go through "Raised by wolves?" I think you'd love the show. Fantastic story, great acting, phenomenal visuals. Some of the lines are delivered in such a hilarious way, they're so memorable. Massive cliffhanger after S2 and the shows trying to get picked back up after being canceled. Thanks mate, you're a legend.
#ReturntoKepler 🤘
@@Fourtune1 very much. Crazy season and even crazier ending
@Dbk278cw it's a cool series but it turns to nonsense..
Two groups keep changing their beliefs over and over..
One of my favorite shows of all time I would loveeee FF to cover the show! Literally breaks my heart it was cancelled 😭
@@DensilGrant I thought the two groups kept the same beliefs the whole time? They just end up doing things that make them seem like hypocrites, which is one of the points of the show; plus, the irony of either religious or atheist, they still end up worshiping some "greater power" that they don't really know.
Im pretty sure he only does movies unless he has a second channel im not aware of
Love found flix! Never have to pay to see movies and risk hating them! Thanks man! Been a fan since the very beginning! Keep up the money saving work ❤
same plus im not good at watching horror movies but always want to know the plot of something
Yep, been watch this channel for a few years now. Glad he keeps it consistent and doesn't try to be something he isn't like many other channels. He knows what his audience wants, and he gives it to them, without trying to get them to subscribe to his other 3 channels or to subscribe to his Patreon.
Wish they would have told us about the dad's past. But it was a great video!
You had so many great one liners this video
Javier instantly went from a delivery driver to Liam Nelson to Dr Phil in a matter of minutes
I love both movies but searching is my favorite. John Cho did an awesome job bringing emotion across a computer screen.
He kidnapped Grace so it would look like she got kidnapped in Columbia. He had had to wait for the “job to be done” so he could do whatever he planned to do. I think when the police caught Kevin it through his plans off. So he just acted out of fear and anger.
You make great videos bro keep it up
I want an ending explained of "Tethered". So many little things that people see different ways. I would love another take on it.
SAME!!
Thanks for explaining such a complex story in a way that my simple mind can understand. Another awesome video 😁👍
? it was very easy to follow
@@summer6787 the ending wasn’t easy for me. When she was watching the tv show about “the abduction of grace Allen” I didn’t know if what had happened was all fake.
He kidnapped Grace/Sarah to torture her with thoughts of what he could be doing to June as well as when he will kill her.
I haven't seen this movie but love that my home town San Antonio is mentioned on there because this place is ALWAYS mentioned when it comes to crime! If felt like someone did their homework lol.
This movie makes less and less sense the more you think about it
Another excellent video.
Maybe one day we'll get your thoughts on 2009's "Lo".
Amazing as always. I’m also hoping you’ll make a vid about Consecration some day, I just watch it. Quite your style I think.
I remember getting so many ads for this movie but still not being very interested saw the notification for this video thank you for saying my time!
im not used to see Joaquim de Almeida (aka Javi) being a good guy. he's usually the villain in these kinds of movies so it's a pleasant surprise to see him get a (albeit small) wholesome part
It’s a smart choice by directors to do! It was the same thing that they did for knives out with “captain America”
Please do Malum next. I would love to see it explained more and comparing it to the original
Can we just take the time to appreciate how FoundFlix constantly brings us great content
Implying I wasn't already doing so!
watched barbarian and decided to look up the ending then i found missing from you watched it and now im back here. that was such a good watch ty
I mean, you could always excuse bad writing for why the dad does what he does but I mean, he's also not the most sane man in the world so I would imagine he hasn't given this a whole lot of thought past, get wife away from kid. Acquire kid.
Would love to see you cover Awakening The Zodiac if you ever have time!
I would love if you did season 1 of The Watcher!! I have so many freaking questions
Wow, a WHOLESOME Thriller? Definitely a rare breed, gonna have to watch this for myself! Thanks FoundFlix!
I would love for you to cover The Possession of Michael King , it's definitely a gray area of where/when the nonbeliever trying to get possessed through different methods actually gets possessed and I'd love to see your opinion!
That bit where you said "overthinking is my thing"... Trust me, overthinking slaps hard, always.
I hope they do another movie like this, with more background hints about aliens. The movie ends with a confirmed alien encounter and a fourth movie release that's a lot like Cloverfield covering the invasion.
Amazing video ❤😊
Javi did all that for $8
Love your content and thx for explaining movies that I would not usually watch.
Your commentary game is as good as ever. Cheers, sir.
Searching > Missing, but they are both great movies ❤
Kinda weird seeing a movie like this that has a happy ending.
Hey, good channel. Will you be doing the "evil dead rise" explained? Man that's scary af
Awesome video
Foundflix da goat 💯💯
6:44 the mention of tacos reminded me of a past foundflix favorite puppet friend 😆
I jusy watched this today! I didn’t think I was going to like it but I got so into it!
Please make a video explaining Beau is Afraid!
Need more great cult 80s and 90s movies 🙌 keep up the great work !
Why did you have to jumpscare with the intro lol, I jumped in my seat
When I first saw this, I was like "This reminds me of the movie called Searching!" AND IT MADE A CAMEO!!!
It took me way to long to realize she is Riley.
I love all the hacker comments you make when she resets passwords with emails. Thank you for the chuckles XD
Well done, the scream at the beginning made me sh*t myself.
That secret alien invasion plot in both of these movies intrigues me greatly
i know the guy who wrote and came up with all that for the movie he was very proud lolol
Hey have you seen "Starry Eyes?" i havent found it in your explained videos. I didnt see it until like a year ago and afterwards i was surprised to have never even heard of it when it came out in 2014. apparently part of the funding was from a kickstarter but i couldnt tell at all, all of the production looked great and it was cool to see a good performance from an actress i didnt know. its a pretty fresh take on a trope that has been around forever and has a big...not a twist but a SHIFT that i really enjoyed. id be interested to see your opinion of it, really hope you see this
