    Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
    ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
    Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
    Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
    jaris-87277 I have never been so disappointed with a series at the end. It was so intriguing for so long but I am devastated and angry by the lack of an ending episode!
    trepessa I gave "Amber" a higher score than some. I have watched this twice and from what I can tell, someone snatched her between where she got off the train to where she was walking to catch the other one going back because she missed her stop. There is no way to know who but the last scene made it evident she had died. The fact that her light was found in the river only reinforced the idea she had been murdered. No young girl should go by herself anywhere in any country these days.The acting was very good and the idea of the story good but the use of the flashbacks is getting tiresome to most people these days like found footage. I believe the intention was to write more episodes so they left everyone with the semblance of an ending left to one's own imagination. The father character was the only one I didn't like. He was a bit over the top and totally unlikeable. Therefore, he was a character that didn't arouse sympathy for his reaction to his daughter's disappearance. The actor was good but I didn't like the father characterized as a totally self absorbed bad person. He did with his zealousness, help find other girls who were still alive by what he did but he was far too impulsive; over the top for my tastes. This show should have been continued and time and time again I see networks in various countries making a mistake by not continuing a story and this is one that falls under that category. I don't think it is a waste of time watching the show because I believe they didn't necessarily write it about the missing girl but how her being missing impacted those related to the issue. It's not that long and not a waste of time. Dramatically I thought it superb but frustrating because of too many flashbacks and no real conclusion since it was not continued. If you can live with these things it is worth watching.
    grocco-2 No denouement, just left hanging at end of last episode, no future series to follow.If your cup o' tea is a story about real life, where a beloved teen goes missing forever, then this i........But if you want a story with some kin.......I've seen worse finales (aside from the fact of an open ending)but this one was so rushed with key .........w enforcem.....................ent to uncover a whitenute wrapgment .... truncated, chopped, "let's get this thing over wit a few pints".Which is what I'm go............. now. I want those precious hours of my......(That's just a sample of what this film was like)
    BladeSparkles Excellent, well acted drama out of Ireland. Reminded me of the series "The Killing" here in the States. The focus of the story is the missing girl, Amber, and gives viewers several points of view on the event. Story is a bit disjointed at times but that can be overlooked. I do wish the finale was a bit more final since a second season is not guaranteed. I've searched for additional details on the net to help me solve the mystery on my own. It's good enough to where I will wind up watching it a second time. I do hope this series gains enough viewer ship and attention so that a second season is warranted. Please give us a second season and closure!
