But pleased that your catching up on it turned out to be favourable.

What makes this film different is the amount of time spent showing computer screen, something I'm sure will become increasingly frequent over time. And it ratchets the tension up very successfully when one might have expected it to slacken off. Also, you're not quite right about Messing wanting to use Cho to gather evidence. She warns him, repeatedly I think, to keep a distance and let the cops do their job without interference. No, I think this film is one notch higher than the usual Liam Neeson fayre - though with my reservation about the ending which, it's true, could have come straight out of Neeson's own rule book on how to bring off a crowd-pleasing conclusion.

And I didn't buy the premise that the cops would put the dad to work to gather evidence, though I suspect that Messing is in on whatever "it" is. Of course, I just saw the preview . and while your review is positive, the film just seems like a role that Liam Neeson would have played 9,301 times.
