Verdict on The Disappearance
The Disappearance is a thriller following a hitman who discovers his wife has vanished. He believes she might have left him, but suspects something more sinister going on. However, not everything is as simple as he expected.
This movie shows the difficult life of a hitman and their loved ones. It shows the shady world, where not everything is going to be as obvious as it seems. However, it jumps all over the place and becomes difficult to keep up with. It seems to jump around time, which makes things feel disconnected and putting things together can become difficult.
Final Thoughts – The Disappearance is an overly complicated thriller, which feels disconnected.
