What We Found

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.

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.

I appreciated the suspense and the story line of the film. The kids did a great job!

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.

Sad view of crime and corruption in our inner cities. Corrupt police, drug related crime. Societal decay at all levels. A poor life story and a get out of dodge warning. Forboding of an apocalyptic future of America. Undeloped characters lead to plot with predictable story line. Disconnected adult figures play little role in the life of young characters. Indicative of mainstream drug use fostered by outside meddling from foreign powers. A dispotian view into the future real life in America in the near and not so near future. The very real and terrifying "Craig of the Creek" Baltimor, Maryland.
