Spoiler alert: There is no ending. Every previously used missing child red herring--including the other child's resentment, the parents splitting up, human trafficing, missing cell phones, false alarms, friends of victim keeping secrets, alienation of parents' friends.....four hours of it and they never explain what happens to Amber. We don't even get to know if she is dead or alive.
The last scene has her walking down a country road, passed a parked car. A white van pulls off the road and a guy gets out and tranfers some stuff from the back to the front. He then drives off, passing Amber walking and disappears out of sight. Amber keeps walking away from the camera, down a country road in broad daylight. Then the credits.
Done. Over. I couldn't believe it.
So the assumption is that Amber was abducted by the parked car, the white van or someone else entirely. She was either murdered or is being held captive somewhere. No ending.
Even the actors had to wonder who was going to buy this ending?
