Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
OllieSuave-007 This is a somber, dramatic and heartfelt true story of the abduction of Adam Walsh, eldest son of future America's Most Wanted host John Walsh. After Adam is kidnapped and later found murdered, John and his wife Reve become advocates for missing children.The events surrounding Adam were heartbreaking and traumatic, making you feel for the pain his death has caused his parents and relatives and making you cringe at the thought of Adam going through such a terrible ordeal. I'll always remember watching this TV movie as a kid, eager to see how everything unfolded at the end. The story definitely leaves you sad, but also leaves your yearning for justice and stronger laws to protect our young children. The Walshes definitely made a lasting impact in America in their continued advocacy and mission to protect children.Grade A-
dancemacabre When somebody ask me what is my favorite movie of my childhood, I will say this one. I saw It when I was ten or something near that. It's fully impressive to me that kid - as we called it Adam - have same years that I. I was a kid, just like Adam. I liked go to big shop whit my mom hen I was a kid, just like Adam was. And deep shocking me when in the movie I realized that Adam was dead. It's kinda very emotional and very serious movie and so close o reality and base on the true events.I search google very hard but I haven't find where can I download it! I know this is TV movie, but it's best what TV can offer to us since then 'till now. Anybody who have this movie, can plese may upload on the warezBB and tell me on my e-mail: dancemacabre@net.hr
Syl THe movie of Adam based on the tragic tale of Adam Walsh is heartbreaking. It chronicles the tragedy of a young boy's life who was snuffed out from under us. His death was not in vain because his parents became advocates for missing children in real life. The movie ends with photos of missing children. The tragedy of missing child is often worse than knowing their fate. This film is faithful to the story. Daniel J. Travanti and JoBeth Williams play Adam's parents and they could not have done a better job. THe film may be over 20 years old but it is still very effective in bring human emotion to a story like Adam Walsh. He became the symbol for missing children. When Reve is reading those letters from people who have been through the hell that the Walshes have been through, it is heartbreaking. Rather than wallow in self-pity, they pursue justice for others who have been through the same. THey realize that they are not the only ones. The Walshes lives changed forever when Reve went to inquire about a lamp at the mall. She turns around and their little boy is gone forever. I remember the scene where they go to the car, leave the doors unlocked, and prepare if Adam comes home. That's probably the most memorable moment in the film.
dire69 To this day, I still watch this movie because I have it taped on vhs and it's still one of the best tv movies ever made and it still makes me cry. They should really make more movies like this one now because everyday a child goes missing. Every year, they have the "Missing Children's Network" telethon so why not make more movies too.
