COME AND FIND ME

US, 2016, 112 minutes, Colour.

Aaron Paul, Annabel Wallis, Garrett Delahunt, Chris Chalk, Zachary Knighton, Terry Chen.

Directed by Zach Whedon.

Something of an odd drama. The film begins somewhat playfully, a man and a woman on the bus, acting suspiciously, he following her, the confrontation only to find that they are playing, they are husband and wife. This gives something of a tone to what follows, people play acting.

Aaron Paul plays the bewildered hero, David, but it is not clear what he does for work and support himself. But he is devoted to his wife, Claire, Annabel Wallis. Then she disappears. David is distraught, spends a lot of time over the coming years making every effort to find her, in contact with the police, an encounter with a seeming old friend who suddenly attacks him violently.

David also finds a roll of film hidden in the house. Audiences realise that this is what everyone is after. David follows some clues concerning people in the photos, especially a wealthy businessman who is now dead. Then secret services are after him, international agencies – the film taking advantage of meetings, not in alleyways, but in beautiful mountain scenery.

David is given information that Claire was an agent, on mission, had been killed during activity. There is also a back story about her past relationships.

However, with all the complications, Claire is not dead, reunites with David, confronts those pursuing him.

The film is quite long, complicated, puzzling.
