Bad Detective: Missing

About This Movie

So, 'Bad Detective: Missing' is quite a ride. Directed by Richard Kim, it blends crime, drama, and a touch of romance in a way that feels very raw. The pacing is interesting—slow at first, building tension as Mi-ri realizes her friends have vanished in South East Asia. There’s a palpable sense of dread throughout, and you really get drawn into her desperation. The performances feel genuine, particularly the lead; you can sense her fear and determination. What’s distinctive here is the atmosphere, a mix of suspense and emotional weight, with some practical effects that really ground the story. It’s not your usual detective fare, for sure. Worth a look if you’re into layered narratives.
