Amber's Story

Wow what a story and a even bigger wow for the way they ****** it up, moving from one year to the next then back then forward with no continuity what so ever, James Corden lookalike as a cooper.

The acting is woeful, bar the mum and two girls. Its cringe at its very worse.

But they had a ready made script to work with which makes it even more unforgiveable.

Disaster movie

I give it 2 for at least attempting to tell an important story and raise awareness, but if it wasn't dealing with such a serious issue and I was rating it as a movie alone, it would have to be 0/10.

Much has been written here about Rohm's accent, and as a film fan and someone who dated a Texan, I have to say I was quite shocked. In fact, I am quite convinced many of the words coming out of her mouth were spoken by someone else, or dubbed afterwards. Either way, it was unconvincing to put it mildly.

As a fan of Angel and having watched every episode at least 3 times, I am very familiar with Rohm. I happen to think her performance as Kate Lockley was excellent, so I disagree with the "she can't act" opinions. However she certainly didn't act here, and nor was she alone in that.

The only performance in this movie worth mentioning was that of Jodelle Ferland, who is one of the best child actors around. If she gets the right parts, she will be an Academy award winner, or I'll eat my hat.

Watch it if you want to learn about Amber's story, but don't watch it for entertainment value.

I thought the acting was a bit amateurish. I am originally from Arlington, TX and the accent that Elisabeth Rohm CLAIMED to have had was way too over dramatic. You could tell that it was fake. There wasn't enough acting out of the little girl who played Amber to really comment. I thought the story told as much as it could. Especially if the killer still hasn't been found, there is only so much you can tell. I was actually wondering what else they were gonna put into this movie. I hadn't even heard about little Nichole until this movie and for her kidnapper to only get 5 years??? What kind of justice is that! He COULD have hurt her and wanted to, I for sure thought he was gonna rape her. But thanks to Amber, he didn't have time to do anything! I thought this was a very well told story of what really happened to Amber. I hope they find her killer.

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.

This was a decent enough movie with a couple well-known actors about the story behind the Amber Alert System. The lead actress, Elisabeth Röhm, is not as bad as some here will have you believe. As for the accent, it sounds a lot like her voice was dubbed over but I've heard Texan accents and accents from GA and AL too that sound just as awful so hey... At any rate, this movie obviously didn't have an enormous budget so don't expect a Tinseltown-esque production but what's even more obvious is that Hollywood just doesn't quite care about the things the average Joe cares about, like the story behind the Amber Alert, Amber Hagerman's story. Good thing Lifetime did.
