You can stream Missing on Netflix now – and we highly recommend you do. Missing was watched for 5.2 million hours during that first week on the platform. Now streaming, it’s become a top title for the service.įor the week running May 15 – May 21, Missing was the #6 most streamed title on Netflix, behind films including Synchronic, A Man Called Otto, Ted, and The Mother. Missing was released on Digital and Blu-ray back in March by Sony, and the film also made its way onto Netflix last week. The character could have been laughable or a mere sight gag, but Harris' intense performance alongside Bana and Ramirez's make the demon-battling scenes pop.A follow-up film from the same team behind 2018’s Searching, Missing is one of this year’s best thrillers, the “Screenlife” film scaring up $48.6 million at the worldwide box office.
Special mention also needs to be made of Prometheus actor Sean Harris' performance as Santino, the possessed war veteran at the center of Sarchie and Mendoza's investigation. I can envision Deliver Us From Evil eventually being turned into some sort of paranormal detective series (the film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the kingpin behind the CSI franchise).
Indeed, I could have watched a whole movie just about Father Mendoza (a composite of different priests the real Sarchie worked with). Ramirez finds both the flawed humanity and hard-earned conviction to make you believe in this character and suspend your disbelief. He smokes, drinks, checks out women's backsides, and wears a leather jacket. His faith isn't in question as his past mistakes force him, like a recovering addict, to keep his s**t together. Exorcists are almost always depicted as old European men whose faith must be tested Father Mendoza is a hip, younger man with a dark past and his own fair share of inner demons still lurking. Bana is his usual reliably everyman self as Sarchie and does a fine job as the audience's skeptical surrogate, but this movie belongs to Edgar Ramirez. That said, the cop movie tropes ultimately mar the overall film. Sarchie's remark about needing an HIV test after one such bite (yes, he gets bitten more than once and in the same arm!) is a reminder of the very real sort of anxieties guys like Sarchie have to face. A scumbag or a nut biting your arm is almost scarier than some of the demon stuff because it's all too real a horror cops have to face every day. Play The cop stuff works best when you see the, well, horrors of being a street cop in the Bronx.
