Review of Adam

Adam (1983 TV Movie)
9/10
Great made for TV movie that has lasting impact
30 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
When I first saw this movie about the abduction & subsequent murder of Adam Walsh I was about 13 years old. My mother, sister, and I watched it together and were absolutely shocked and awed by the intense screenplay and the powerful performances. The impact of the real-life events portrayed in this movie is felt even today; the father of Adam Walsh is none other than John Walsh, the founder of the popular TV show America's Most Wanted. After his son's murder, John became a nationally recognized leader in the push for victims' rights. I admire and respect John Walsh so much for turning his pain and anguish into a lifelong endeavor for justice that continues to help others gain justice and closure by putting violent criminals behind bars. Thanks to God above for people like him who are willing to share these horrific episodes of their lives to bring such topics to the forefront of society's awareness.
