Why didn't Bryan Mills rescue Amanda?
He went through all that trouble to rescue Kim, why didn't he find Amanda while he was at it? Also, there was one place that had girls drugged up and tied to beds. Why didn't he at least untie them?
shareHe found Amanda. She was dead.
shareI understand that she was dead but I was at least expecting his daughter to show some grief for her friend or at least have a scene with Amanda's parents.
sharerescuing Amanda wasn't part of his mission
it was to rescue Kim and given the time frame he wasn't going to waste any time on anything else
In military it's very important to stick with the objective and it alone
There's also the factor of screenwriters not closing up every single possible open end. I didn't need to actually SEE him calling the authorities, or telling his French contact where the body was and where that hole was that he found her.
I figured he did it anyway, but did it off-screen.

It's an action movie. A scene such as you're describing here with the dead girl's parents would have just slowed the action down.
shareThe thing is with movies it is always the least popular character that gets killed. It is an american movie, so Amanda is more promiscuous, it's a little bit like she sleeps around anyway, so she is bad, she gets killed. The happy ending was distasteful as if everything was good at the end. Her best friend is still dead. But they wanted probably a hollywood ending, very distasteful.
shareWhy would she show any grief or long term mental issues? SHE GOT SINGING LESSONS FROM A CELEB. OMG.
shareHe was too busy filming Taken 2
