Why didn't Bryan Mills rescue Amanda?

From what little we saw of Amanda, she was just an ordinary young girl making decisions from a position of inexperience. Her intent was never to cause her friend any harm, and like most people raised in relative wealth and security simply failed to consider the consequences of her actions, which were at the most extreme end of the list of possibilities anyway.
'Devious, lying little slut' is awfully exaggerated, don't you think? -

Of course it's an exaggeration. A girl doesn't even need to have sex to be labelled a slut now. Misogynistic bs. The previous poster almost seems to believe she got what she deserved. Why? She was a young, excited girl having fun in Paris. She made a big mistake, but that's what people do. Wanting a holiday fling does not make a woman a slut and I bet no one would use that word if we were discussing a male character.
Agreed, Amanda was a normal free-spirited teen girl.

what you have to understand is that Bryan might still kind of be pissed at Amanda. after all, she's the one that started this whole problem, and had it not been for her, Kim would be safe and sound. i'm not saying Bryan was glad she's dead, but his anger at her and his grief for her probably balanced out, and thus, he felt neutral about the whole thing.

He takes burned phones and calls the local version of 911 at each location, dropping the phone there to be tracked. It's not shown because you shouldn't be watching this movie for filler-character closure. That's more of an issue for your butthurt-curing therapist to engage in. Try to keep up with the storyline, not the whole world in a movie that was intended to be a S2DVD, according to Liam Neeson.

If he cared about all the girls in the world in an environment with INSANELY intelligent/violent men, he'd be shot dead or take so much time that Kim would have disappeared in the world of forced prostitution.

He never cared about Amanda. Remember that when Bryan traced those guys through the phone the first time, he told them if they release his daughter he would let the matter drop, but otherwise he would find them. He never mentioned Amanda and so presumably they could keep her?

This just falls under the category that the audience doesn't have to be shown every single conceivable little detail but can just assume it happens off screen.
I know people have to pee, defecate and baththey didn't show anyone ever do it, how did everyone go 3 days without peeing? We just assume it happens off screen.
Obviously at the end, the pop star's house we can assume some time has passed since her rescue. We can assume she's gone through a lot of emotions and grief and needed lots of therapy in that time..trauma, fear, depression, the loss of her friend. Why must we be shown every conversation, every tear, every nightmare to assume it happened? So since we weren't shown her meeting the pop star and then bursting into tears and screaming AMANDA!!!!!! AMANDA!!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! on the star's front porch why does that have to mean she never grieved on those months or dealt with her emotions?
Not EVERYTHING has to happen on screen.
