Amber Alert (2012)
1/10
Welcome to the film industry, guys! K bye.
10 March 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Yeah, look at the full cast & crew. Look at the last names. Yeah. So are you guys happy? Your film made it all the way to Netflix! Happy? Good. Good for you. Now goodbye.

--With the cops slacking the entire time, the girl would've been calling them NON-STOP, every step of the way.

--Nobody. Nobody. N-O-B-O-D-Y is as clueless as the fat guy.

--We can see right through your "realistic" writing. You had them bickering so much because you thought it was "realistic". It wasn't. Mostly because of how unrealistic the fat guy's stance was in their bickering. From there, it was beyond obnoxious.

--They pull over and talk to the guy, and the fat guy is still being a non-human. Not a "moron". A moron is a type of person. They were not behaving like people. Period.

--They find an arsenal of loaded guns, and nobody grabs one. LOL.

--They're trying to break the locks, and nobody grabs a gun. LOL.

--They hear their friend get shot, and nobody grabs a gun until it's too late. LOL.

You guys had a couple opportunities here. The gas station and the off-road encounter. These were golden opportunities to create tension and conflict in realistic ways. But you completely skated by them and opted for NON-HUMAN things.

You thought, "Well, that's what we had to do. We had to navigate away from realistic things the whole time, so we could move the story forward." No. That's only true if you SUCK.

Go away. Too many truly talented people are struggling to get somewhere in this industry, barely affording to eat and having their applications/reels completely ignored among the bundle of other applications, to deal with watching this heresy make it to Netflix. Just spit in our faces.

This is an okay portfolio piece for the actors and whoever worked on post. Everyone else: no.
