Montage (South Korea, 2013)

A kidnapper disappeared 15 years ago without a trace. Five days before the case's statute of limitations expires, someone anonymously leaves a flower at the crime scene. A few days later, another kidnapping takes place using the same method on a similar target. Three people team up to solve the case before it's too late: the grandfather, who lost his granddaughter right in front of him, the mother, who has been searching for the person who abducted her daughter 15 years ago, and the detective with a guilty conscience, who puts everything into this long-unsolved case.

While not being very original, Montage still makes for a thrilling experience. Unlike most thrillers, Montage has a severe lack of violence but makes up for this in captivating entertainment, and it's good to see a kidnapping drama that don't have all the melodrama that other films have. 

Genre: Thriller
