Beyond the Neon

Interesting to see the not-positive reviews, because I think this movie is AMAZING. Perhaps some of it was over people's heads.

The format is new - think Blair Witch/YouTube? Which makes perfect sense, because this is about a YouTuber and a YouTube crew.

People seem to think this is a documentary, but it's not- until the parts with the women in the middle, which I found INCREDIBLY impactful. Can't believe what some humans have had to go through.

This movie was extremely creative, the pace is edge-of-your seat excellent, and it leaves you thinking.

Are these characters heroes? No. I don't think they're trying to be. They are "doing it for the wrong reasons" and I think that's kind of the point?

The ending is intense- I won't spoil it, but it's justified by the hardest stuff you'll ever have watch.

Is this an indie film? Yes. It's refreshing to have something diffferent than ANOTHER marvel.

Bravo to the creators! Would love to see more like this.

I think it's very important what they're trying to do, but there's too much going on that makes me feel it staged like the boyfriend that is wrapping up drugs, they didn't even blur his face he can go to jail for that. Or them changing out license plates that's illegal that's a felony. So there's just a lot of things I'm questioning, but I'm loving and it's so important to help stop trafficking so I really hope this is real if it's not that's just sad. Sin City has way too much trafficking and it's time that something is done about it. I can't believe trafficking is happening so much in the United States. It breaks my heart, so I hope Joey salads really meant this from the heart and not just for reviews.

The movie is set up to feel like a reality film, the wooden acting an unnatural dialogue removes you from this facade. If you've watched the first ten minutes, you've seen the best the movie has to offer.

Open opening, you're left wondering if you are actually watching a reality based story with real human connections. The acting is forced and the dialogue more so as they begin to show scenes that make no sense to even have a camera there.

The message from the movie is that all girls in the Los Vagas escort world are there under the forceful rule of pimps that have trafficked them there. This view offers no balance.

If you are studying film however, this movie offers value as the production mechanics are obvious and it would allow you to easily break down its construction.

That Actual people are surprised by this? Are you lot for real? How many programs and films over the years has there been about Sex Trafficking ?

Vegas was run by the mob, it's not a clean city, there is now a massive drug culture in Vegas, go off the strip see the porn shows, the druggies. 1st went to Vegas in the 80s the Real Vegas with Sands, Dunes that was Vegas baby.

Been there twice since, going again next year as part of Route 66. Last time 4 of us me and the gf and another couple had around 30 cards put into our hands, but what surprised me was how the Vans with ads on the side are allowed to drive around ?

Seems to me the big wheels of Vegas are quite happy for this to carry on, I wonder how much the pimps made over the F1 weekend.

A lot of the women are brought in from overseas the Ukraine, Russia, Asia, etc. It's not new been going on for many years, these girls are tricked into "making their money" or becoming a film star put on drugs.

This looks very scripted, never heard of this geezer before.

Fantastic movie! Beyond the Neon will never make you look at Vegas the same way and that's a good thing! It's incredibly eye opening and touches upon things that are really happening, but no one sees.

The movie is not a documntary, but the story documents sex trafficking and what is really happening in Vegas. There's many intense parts, but the film breaks it up with some levity. If you're looking for something new and noteworthy, I'd defintley recommend Beyond the Neon.

The main characters don't know what they're walking into at first, but then discover a world like no other and keep pushing the envelope. The ending is espeically memorable and mind-blowing. Trying not to give away too much, but it's not something you'll forget.
