Amber Alert

'Amber Alert' sometimes works as a thriller, but it has serious aspirations. It wants to 'say' something. These two things don't come together.

Amber Alert ends happily with Charlotte reuniting with her mother, Monica, while an injured Jaq watches on with a content expression on her face.

While the rest of the movie may be a mixed bag of mediocre-to-great elements, Panettiere and Williams' performances are enough to save the day.

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.

Amber Alert (2024) delivers a tense and suspenseful thriller that keeps you on edge for most of its runtime, but ultimately falls short of being a standout in the genre.

An ordinary rideshare becomes a high-stakes game of cat and mouse when Jaq and Shane race against time to save a child's life.
