Amber Alert (2012)
10/10
It's all about the curve
12 March 2013
I rated this 10 stars to counter the one-star reviewers. All or nothing, that seems to be the acceptable trend...so I'm rating it "all".

Wow - on this budget, I was floored. I loved the characters. I found the acting excellent for first-timers. Seeing that the producers and actors were related to each other was not a surprise; but having made independent films myself, I was shocked at how well this was put together.

I related to the filmmakers and the characters. I have had to call in suspected abusive behavior, and have been in both characters' shoes. I felt this was very realistic. The vigilantes made stupid mistakes. The coward, the thoughtless renegade, the smooth-talking pedophile. Yes, they are all common types, but well-played here.

The only thing I didn't like was the end. I don't think anyone can argue they were on the edge of their seats. If you read other reviews, you'll see people watched until the end. You don't even have to leave your couch to change the show on Netflix.
