A lot of fun.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
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-
This is a landmark film which should be screened at regular intervals with an updated list of missing children following each showing of the movie. I remember the film vividly as there was a story in the local newspaper of a person who recognised children from the photo list and eventually these children were reunited with their family.Daniel J Travanti and JoBeth Williams are excellent as Adam's distraught parents and the film strikes the right balance of suspense, tragedy and eventual hope.I applaud John and Reve Walsh for their courage in turning their own personal tragedy into a crusade to protect other children and other families from the same fate as theirs. God bless them.
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: [email protected]
I remember when this TV movie aired I was in kindergarten and in fact my teacher even suggested that all of us small children watch this movie with our parents. Every parent with a small child feared that this tragedy would happen and what a nightmare it would have been to have a child abducted and murdered. The whole country was at this time bringing the missing children issue to the attention of people. All of this panic and awareness because of the abduction and murder of a little boy named Adam Walsh in Broward County, Florida. Thankful that this boys father John Walsh brought this case so much attention and awareness that a movie titled Adam was made for TV to expand the concern for children all across America. This movie is sad due to the death of a small child but brings a good message of awareness and concern for our children and any victim of crime for that matter. I wish some network would show Adam again I would like to see it over.
