The Missing (2017)

Director: Jinglei Xu
Writer: Xin Huo (screenplay)
Stars: Baihe Bai, Stanley Huang, Ming Dao

The Missing’ centres on the mysterious case of a policewoman’s missing daughter. When the main suspect suffers amnesia due to a car accident, both sides of the law must team up to try to find out the truth.

This is an exciting action film from China, starring Baihe Bai as a policewoman whose daughter has been kidnapped. Desperately trying to find her, she unexpectedly aligns herself with an alleged fugitive for assistance.

The plot of the movie is fast-paced from start to finish, full of entertaining elements - from the amnesia-plagued fugitive on the run from both cops and bad guys, to him working with the stern and determined policewoman in catching the crooks and finding her daughter.

There are no over-the-top CGI stuff or overkill fights, but good old fashion detective work with a right balance of drama, humor, and action. And, there are some unpredictable and surprising moments as well, making this film that much more suspenseful. Great stuff here!
