MISSING (2023) Ending Explained 

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???

Javier seems like a far better private investigator than taco delivery man

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.

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.

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!!!!

I really thought Javi was gonna be the villain lol. Turns out he's just a really good and upstanding guy.

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

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.

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..

First we got Searching. Now we get Missing. Next we’ll get Seeking

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.

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 :)

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

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 💀

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.

Javi, the man. And through all those twists and turns, the surprise ending, it all comes down to a happy ending for them. Bravo

Can't believe the five editors of Searching and Run ended up directing Missing. It went full circle, and pretty cool.

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.

Can we appreciate how Siri played a huge part in this movie?! Like she saved June’s life, honestly! 😮

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.

man you got me addicted to these vids this is like all ive been watching for a couple days now

Javi was the best, no questions, plenty of help and gave good advice ❤️

This movie was surprisingly decent for a horror movie spinoff/sequel/successor

Big mistake in this movie, evidence gained illegally is only unusable by the police if it's the police themselves that get it illegally.

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.

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 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.

I love these types of films. I’m glad this genre came to be !

This is a Javi appreciation post, in which we appreciate and respect Javi. Have fun respecting!

Thanks for all the work you put into these!

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.

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

bruh that scream scared the shit out of me.

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

Bruh “We got cops outside your home” why are the cops always so useless. Her dad just strolled into her house like nothing.

Thank you for covering videos so well. I low key look forward to these more than I should 😂😂😂❤❤

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

Love your videos man, your humour has kept me alive over the years

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!

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 😂

appreciate you man still my favorite movie reviewer

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

Great video as always. Really want to see you cover Nocebo someday.

thank you for this recap video! very impressive movie, love Nia and Storm!

Storm Reid is such an underrated actress, she’s amazing

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 😂)

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 ❤

Thank you for always keeping entertained

To say I've been waiting for this movie impatiently would be an understatement.

love your content keep up the fantastic work especially on the paranormal activity it felt like a movie in itself

I love both movies but searching is my favorite. John Cho did an awesome job bringing emotion across a computer screen.

Javier single handedly being the best human being on the planet.

You make great videos bro keep it up

I really enjoy your content. Keep up the great work and stay healthy

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 🤘

You had so many great one liners this video

Wish they would have told us about the dad's past. But it was a great video!

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! ❤

Thanks for explaining such a complex story in a way that my simple mind can understand. Another awesome video 😁👍

Can we just take the time to appreciate how FoundFlix constantly brings us great content

I want an ending explained of "Tethered". So many little things that people see different ways. I would love another take on it.

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.

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 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!

Javier instantly went from a delivery driver to Liam Nelson to Dr Phil in a matter of minutes

i will say that this was the first movie that actually had me sitting up in my seat when i first watched it. the plot twists were INSANE from the woman turning her head revealing it not to be grace, to the dad showing up to the house. i was probably the loudest one in the theatre yelling "OH SHIT" to all the twists and turns

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.

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.

Amazing video ❤😊

Would love to see you cover Awakening The Zodiac if you ever have time!

This movie makes less and less sense the more you think about it

Awesome video

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.

Please do Malum next. I would love to see it explained more and comparing it to the original

I love that she kept talking with Javier :D

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

Your commentary game is as good as ever. Cheers, sir.

I would love if you did season 1 of The Watcher!! I have so many freaking questions

Foundflix da goat 💯💯

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

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.

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!

Wow, a WHOLESOME Thriller? Definitely a rare breed, gonna have to watch this for myself! Thanks FoundFlix!

That bit where you said "overthinking is my thing"... Trust me, overthinking slaps hard, always.

Javi did all that for $8

Need more great cult 80s and 90s movies 🙌 keep up the great work !

Kinda weird seeing a movie like this that has a happy ending.

6:44 the mention of tacos reminded me of a past foundflix favorite puppet friend 😆

This movie reminded me why teenage girls that hate their moms for no reason annoy me so much. I Lost my father in 2020 and since his passi g realized how neglectful I was to him. This movie left me in tears because all I could think about was him and how much I wish 2nd chances were real with the deceased. Any teens watching this who has AND KNOWS that they have GOOD PARENTS!!! appreciate them because when they're no longer around you will literally kill yourself with guilt, grief and endless regret because of how you treated them 💯

I jusy watched this today! I didn’t think I was going to like it but I got so into it!

Hey, good channel. Will you be doing the "evil dead rise" explained? Man that's scary af

Searching > Missing, but they are both great movies ❤

so hyped for the beau is afraid video. i don’t even have to ask i know for a fact it’s coming

I love all the hacker comments you make when she resets passwords with emails. Thank you for the chuckles XD

When I first saw this, I was like "This reminds me of the movie called Searching!" AND IT MADE A CAMEO!!!

Love your content and thx for explaining movies that I would not usually watch.

Nothing beats when you don’t watch this show for a while. Then come back and can just binge watch all of them in a row!

Please make a video explaining Beau is Afraid!
