The Asians in new movie "Searching" are neither rich nor crazy, but the contemporary thriller is in some ways as ground-breaking as the big romantic comedy currently making waves in Hollywood.
"Searching," opening in U.S. movie theaters on Friday, a week after the debut of "Crazy Rich Asians," is the tale of a father's attempts to track down his well-behaved teen daughter after she goes missing.
Not only does the independent movie star Korean-American actor John Cho, and an Asian-American family, but the entire film is told through websites, social media, smartphones and computer screens as Cho delves into his daughter's private life for clues to her disappearance.
