The 2024 thriller, Amber Alert, has some basis in real-life, with a fascinating backstory behind it. Abbott Elementary’s Tyler James Williams and Nashville’s Hayden Panettiere lead the cast of Amber Alert. The film sees their two characters, Shane and Jaq, get an Amber Alert during a rideshare and try to find the little girl who was kidnapped. Amber Alert had the potential to be a great thriller, but some elements in the film made it fall short.
At the time of its premiere, Amber Alert received mixed reviews, which cited the lack of originality of the story and how predictable it was. However, the story is rooted in truth, only proving the old adage that life imitates art, and vice versa. Contrary to reviews, the fact that Amber Alert was inspired by a true story is one of the things that makes it interesting, giving it a unique backstory.

Kerry Bellessa's 2024 movie Amber Alert is a fast-paced kidnap story. The film is a remake of Bellessa's 2012 movie of the same name, which made use of a found footage style. While the primary plot elements are similar, the Amber Alert remake is able to expand on the original in a few ways, including some changes to the story. Amber Alert has received mixed to good reviews.
While the direction and interesting take on the abduction thriller genre keep the movie interesting, the real highlight of Amber Alert is the acting performances of the main characters. Amber Alert centers on two people in a ride-share who become involved in a kidnapping when they decide to follow a car fitting the description of an Amber Alert. The movie takes time to introduce the characters and make them feel real, and the two leads have great chemistry.

In Amber Alert, Nashville’s Hayden Panettiere and Tyler James Williams (of Everybody Hates Chris fame) play a woman taking a rideshare and her driver, respectively. The two work together to try and catch a young girl who is trapped in the back of her kidnapper’s car.

Kerry Bellessa’s “Amber Alert” is one to watch out for due to the tension. A child abductor on the run and a rideshare in hot pursuit makes for a pretty straightforward plot. But the plot still keeps wheeling, a rarity among films of this type. “Amber Alert” centers around the serendipitous partnership of two strangers to rescue a child following a cat-and-mouse game with the kidnapper. Whether they catch him or get caught instead is explored in this article, but the thrill is one for the keeps.

When Jaq and Shane receive an Amber Alert about a missing girl on their phones, they end up veering down an unexpected path. Jaq spots a vehicle that could be connected and convinces reluctant rideshare driver Shane to follow it. What begins as a routine drive soon transforms into a nerve-racking pursuit that raises troubling moral dilemmas.
Directed by Kerry Bellessa, Amber Alert takes viewers on a heart-racing road trip. Released in 2024, it’s a remake of Belle’s 2012 film with the same title. This time, the director ditches the found footage format in favor of a more polished narrative approach. While the movie keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, some of the dramatic turns don’t entirely ring true to life.

Amber Alert can best be described as every parent's worst nightmare come true. The premise has a ride-share driver and his passenger following a Toyota Camry after receiving a child abduction notice on their phones. The film's taut and harrowing first act will keep you glued to the screen despite obvious logistical flaws. That tension is then wasted as the primary characters engage in poorly written exposition meant to develop the protagonists' relationship. Thankfully, Amber Alert gets back on track for a violent climax that has its problems but recaptures the riveting earlier anxiety.
Set in Louisville, Kentucky, a black sedan with heavily tinted windows drives through suburban neighborhoods. Its unseen driver searches for young children walking by themselves on sidewalks. The vile predator chooses his targets carefully, but doesn't get the perfect opportunity to snatch a victim. Meanwhile, in her office, Jaq (Hayden Panettiere) races to finish work. She's...

Thrillers about kidnappings have long been a part of the entertainment world, with everything from Liam Neeson's action-focused Taken franchise to M. Night Shyamalan's chiller Split and Mel Gibson's nailbiting Ransom being just a handful of examples. Though Amber Alert may not break new ground with its storytelling or characters, it's also certainly not the worst the genre has ever offered.

In 2012, Kerry Bellessa’s Amber Alert was not well received by critics and viewers, particularly because of the main characters and the choices they made. So it was surprising when the same director returned twelve years later with what is essentially a remake of a rather divisive movie. The plot is, more or less, the same this time around, but a few creative changes make this new version of Amber Alert more watchable.
Like in the original movie, this new story happens over the course of one night. And the first significant difference between the two versions — apart from the obvious change in filming style — is the cast. Instead of three friends tailing a potential kidnapper, Hayden Panettiere and Tyler James Williams (The Walking Dead) play total strangers. Jaq (Panettiere) is late for a date when she flags down Shane, an off-duty rideshare driver played by Williams, and convinces him...

A chilling trailer for the new thriller Amber Alert was released today.
The film follows Hayden Panettiere‘s character, Jaq, as she is in a rideshare with driver Shane, who is played by Abbott Elementary‘s Tyler James Williams. What starts as a normal ride ends up as a dire chase to find a missing child when they realize they’re behind the car from the amber alert.
Known for her roles in Nashville and the Scream franchise, Hayden has quite the resume! She brought an intensity to the screen in Scream 4 and that intensity is shown again in the Amber Alert trailer.
Tyler has received praise for his role on Abbott Elementary and now it’s time for him to show us his dramatic chops! If the trailer is any indication, he’s got it down.

"If we don't find him, she'll be gone forever." Lionsgate has revealed an official trailer for a generic thriller called Amber Alert, which is an extremely generic and uninteresting title for yet another movie like this. Oddly, director Kerry Bellessa made in a movie in 2012 also titled Amber Alert, with a similar plot – which means she's remaking her own film but with a more famous cast this time and a bit more money it seems. This new movie opens in September. An ordinary rideshare becomes a high-stakes game of cat and mouse when Jaq & Shane receive an alert of a child abduction on their phones.

Immanence, the new film from director Kerry Bellessa and co-writer Joshua Oram, the team who gave us Amber Alert, begins on a dark and abandoned boat. As we hear the search and rescue team searching for the crew we see a silent figure appear and then disappear. Then the film flashes back to the start of the story.
Naomi (Summer Bellessa; Funny Thing About Love) and her team are looking for proof of extraterrestrial life. When a meteorite lands somewhere in The Bermuda Triangle and starts emitting strange signals they think they may have discovered what they were looking for.
They rent a boat owned by Davis and captained by a man named Jonah, a name which should have had them running in the other direction.

There's nothing more horrifying than hearing about a child being kidnapped by a psychopath.... but what if you had a chance to make a difference? What if you could engage the murderous loony and fight for the kid. Would you do it? That's the question posed in Amber Alert.
From the Press Release
In Amber Alert, arriving on DVD February 25 from Cinedigm and Random Media, a wanted criminal is in high pursuit.
Starring Summer Bellessa, Chris Hill, and Jasen Wade and directed by Kerry Bellessa, the pulse-pounding film follows two friends who realize that the freeway's "Amber Alert" signs are pointing them to watch for a suspected kidnapper who is driving in the next lane. Still waiting on the police to arrive, the friends take matters into their own hands and decide to chase down the car - and its potentially dangerous driver - themselves.

Well, this is a new one. I didn’t think someone could come up with a new Found Footage gimmick that I hadn’t seen before, but I don’t think I’ve seen a car chase from the Pov of a camera yet. It looks like 90% of the film is shot entirely from the backseat of a car, which will either be highly interesting or incredibly boring. In any case, check out a trailer for director Kerry Bellessa’s “Amber Alert”. Now if this was me, there are a number of things I might do in the same situation, but going on a car chase with a potential child murderer is probably not one of them, but hey, that’s just me. While filming their audition video for a popular reality television show, best friends Nate and Samantha notice several active Amber Alert signs. To their surprise, they recognize...
