The upcoming movie Searching is a classic thriller where the story is told in a decidedly contemporary way. Starring John Cho, it follows a father trying to find his missing daughter. What makes the film inventive is that it's told mainly on a laptop screen after his daughter, Margot (Michelle La) goes missing.

What makes Searching stand out from every other thriller where a child is in trouble is the way the drama is presented. The entire story unfolds on a computer screen--populated with emails, video chats, texts and tweets.
