Amber's story was not for me about a child murderer who was never caught, it was about modern America's attitude to raising children where the mum has to work, while leaving her child to be looked after by someone else.In which case this "someone else" was a relatively disturbed old man who could see how the little girl he was asked to look after while his mum worked, was not being cared for properly by her own mother.This true story demonstrated the mum's irresponsibility toward her own little girl, because mum needed to work to pay the bills.How we in the western world solve this problem of latch key children is another issue.Because in the ideal, young children need two mature stable parents to raise them.Young children should never be left with strangers, no matter how friendly they might be.

If there was a ZERO rating, I would give it to this movie. Today was the second time I tried to watch it and I still couldn't make it through from beginning to end. I can't believe the multiple stars given by others & can only assume they either know the actors or are a publicist in disguise! The acting is atrocious all around, the script is blah, the kid playing Nichole shows zero emotion even when she's being threatened. The "southern" accent from the actress playing Amber's mom is laughable - I'm from Georgia and have friends from Texas - believe me NOBODY talks like that! None of her emotions seemed real in any scene. The subject matter is very serious and deserves much better treatment.

I kind of agree with the last post.The acting on this movie was kinda of bad.I think that the producer was just in a rush to find the stars and get the movie done.Although I think the little girl that played little Nichole did a really good acting for her age but the rest of the cast.....I did like the movie however cause I really wanted to see how the amber alert came to be but they did need better acting in this film.Good acting Jodelle Ferland though.At least that is my opinion.I'll tell the producer and everyone who worked on this film to next time.Take your time when picking the cast.I am not downing any of the cast members I honestly think it was just too rushed.

Wow,I cannot believe how badly this movie was done.The main actress was horrible,her accent was way over the top(I'm from the South,so I know what I'm talking about)and her acting in general was very bad.As a matter of fact,the acting by the whole cast was bad.It wasn't informative at all,I thought it would be interesting to see how the Amber Alert came into existence,but this movie was a poor vehicle for that.This movie lacked a lot of things.It lacked anyone with great acting ability,where did they get those kids from????? It lacked feeling,empathy and substance.I just didn't enjoy this movie at all.I loved the movie Adam,even though it is painfully tragic,it portrayed realistic grieving parents and showed their strong desire to help others in their situation.This movie failed on all accounts.I give this a 1 out of 5.Dont waste your time on this.
