Amber Alert

In the film Amber Alert, Jaq and Shane track a kidnapper after an Amber Alert alerts them. Their courageous attempt to save a child leads to a dangerous chase full of unexpected risks.

These kinds of movies always give me the creeps; the idea that something like this could happen to you is terrifying. This movie really shows the dangers and emotions surrounding such a situation. The tension is built up strongly, and I was often on the edge of my seat.

The actors generally did a good job, especially Hayden Panettiere, who played her role convincingly. Williams' role, on the other hand, felt less well-developed, especially because of his unconvincing reactions at the beginning of the film. In addition, there were a few plot holes that undermined the credibility of the story. As a result, the film occasionally lost some of its realistic impact, which could have been prevented with better execution.

A thrilling thriller that manages to captivate, despite some shortcomings.

3 stars.

The film title refers to a code that is used when children are kidnapped, with the name Amber being the first girl to be kidnapped and murdered in the past. The intro is built up nicely with the kidnapper in a black car observing several children. A scary feeling prevails. Then the film develops in the first part into a well-set up chase in which the confrontation between the kidnapper and the two main characters in a parking lot appears to be necessary for the credibility of the story given the long chase before. Every kidnapper would have noticed this by now. The second part is somewhat less in terms of development and also predictable given the agent factor. 6.5/10

I agree with everyone else; the movie is enjoyable, I was on the edge of my seat at times, and some scenes don't require much thought. I have no regrets!
