What We Found

The movie is alright, not great but not bad either. The acting is good as well... again, not amazing but solid performance overall. The kids are well cast and have a good chemistry.

Overall, it had me too often scratching my head because the tone switched so often. It is marked as a thriller but in parts it was almost like one of those 80ies kids' adventure movies. Apart form that in parts it was suddenly very dramatic and touching a variety of subjects and then it was back to action. I liked the story overall but they seemed to try to cram to much into the 110 minutes. Many (often quite serious subjects) were touched upon but didn't go anywhere, backstories of characters were told but did not really impact the story in any way. This made the movie feel stuffed but empty.. like white bread without any toppings. Some aspects of police work seemed exceptionally realistic and others like how a kid imagines police work. The score seemed a bit over the top and very disconnected which enforced the different impressions between scenes (lighthearted, comedic piece for the mobile scene, dramatic orchestra for the police captain's backstory). The camera work was good (to my untrained eye) and the editing seemed fine (apart from a few strange cuts here and there).

Basically, the movie was okay but it pulled me out of my willing suspension of disbelief way too often. I can't recommend or not recommend because judging from other reviews, some people clearly enjoyed it enough. You should watch it and.form your own opinion. Just be aware that it's not a masterpiece. All in all it did make me watch, even though it was a carousel of being.tense/thrilled, amused and slighty perplexed.

It has good moments...it takes a while before it gets interesting. I didn't like the way they handle the characters at the end. Most of the good comes beacause Elizabeth Mitchell is in it.

I have never wrote a review on any movie, nor restaurant or anything I ever do. I look at the reviews like a normal person and deduce whether I want to watch or go to something. That being a matter of fact, the reviews for this movie are completely misleading. Multiple say "superb acting, acting is great" and don't get me wrong I am no movie critic, I've read my fair share of reviews and I know what a good movie is, this did not hit the mark. The story was not completely atrocious but like I said the user reviews are very misleading on the acting, this is the equivalent of a hallmark movie you would see on day time television, not a single part is exceptional or outstanding. That being said, the story line is not horrible and something some people may enjoy but do not go into this looking for high quality acting or a high quality film.

Well......this was a great little murder mystery thriller with three brilliant kids as the main lead. There was some tension n suspense throughout n a bit of action towards the end .

The acting was superb n the characters were amazing especially the kids.

The ending was predictable but good nonetheless.

I recommend this movie especially if you like thrillers n murder mysteries.

Multiple sites are erroneously pointing to this IMDB entry for the 2025 documentary "What They Found". Strangely, IMDB does not have an entry for that documentary, which may explain the erroneous links.

"What They Found" is a documentary about what the allied soldiers found when they discovered/liberated the Nazi death camps in 1944-1945. It is a film that was made during the pandemic and is told from the perspective of the actual allied soldiers that entered the camps. I hope that IMDB gets this straightened out quickly with an entry for that documentary, and a notice in this entry pointing to that documentary.

I hope this gets fixed soon.
