Trafficked

Well, given the title of the movie, you already know beforehand what you are getting yourself into when you sit down to watch the 2017 movie "Trafficked". However, I still sat down to watch the movie, as it was one that I hadn't already seen.

Sure, the 2017 movie "Trafficked" deals with a very brutal and inhumane topic, but at the same time it is a movie that is well-worth watching. Not because of the entertainment value to the movie, but because of the fact that it is based on grotesque things that happen every single day around the entire world. And it is a movie that I think you should sit down to watch, even though it being a somewhat brutal movie.

The storyline needs little explanation, so I will not go into that. But the acting performances in the movie were spot on, and that applies to both those women portraying the sex slaves as well as the men portraying the shady people dealing in sex trade.

"Trafficked" has an impressive cast list actually, and I was definitely more than surprised to see the likes of Sean Patrick Flanery, Jason London, Patrick Duffy, Efren Ramirez and Brian Thompson in a movie such as this. Some of them even just had minor roles, not even support roles, in the movie, but still a very bold move to participate in a movie such as this. Hats off to the people involved in this particular movie.

I found "Trafficked" to be a riveting movie, one that had a storyline that proved captivating from the very beginning, and director Will Wallace managed to ensure that the movie never lost its momentum.

If you find yourself with the chance to sit down to watch this 2017 movie, you most certainly should do so. My rating of "Trafficked" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars. "Trafficked" is the type of movie that has a profound impact on the audience, given the severity of the issues that the movie deal with, and the fact that this happens to ordinary people every single day. "Trafficked" definitely leaves you with a lasting impression and gives you something to ponder about.

I am surprised to see low ratings for this. The only reason is because it's like a mirror to the society especially the big bad world of dominant males all over the globe. There is nothing wrong with story line, acting and direction. The movie wants you to hate what you are seeing and it is successful in doing that.

Human population is basically slaves of their own bad habits and unfortunately poor gals have to pay price like this, endless sufferings. Hats off to the people who made this movie with right intents. It is not perfect but deserves a watch, very real and not unreal drama. Watch it once to know exactly how it's going around the globe.

I stumbled into this film knowing nothing about it upfront, but bought a ticket because it was playing "next" when I walked up to the theater.

I was only able to sit through the first half of the film before I walked out. I could not stomach the sick nature that some of the characters did a great job of portraying. It's hard to imagine that people can be so sickening in real life, but apparently that is what this movie is based on. I lost sleep over it last night after watching it.

It is impossible for me to rate this film as something I highly recommend. When I left the theater in disgust at what I had just witnessed, only then did I go on to learn the film is based on actual reality, not just in third world countries, but in the United States.

Something needs to be done to rid the world of perpetrators portrayed in the film. This film is definitely a wake up call.

This was a great topic to make a film about, and one would think with so many (15!) producers involved, they wouldn't have messed up the production.

For starters, you don't hire Siddharth Kara, the author of one book (on the subject matter) with zero film experience to write the screenplay. He should have stayed on as only a producer but only to consult, and hired a professional screenwriter.

Next, the directing was sub par... nice camera work but the actors, albeit C-grade, needed better direction so they wouldn't appear as if this was their first high school play. A few of the actors were decent, but I could see the lost potential to make their roles great from the lack of direction from novice director Will Wallace. Again, had a better director come on board, this film would have been great.

Overall the story/premise needed to be shown to create awareness, Some parts are brutal, but it does get the message across.

Would I see it again? No. Would I recommend it? Maybe to parents with young daughters.

It's a 7/10 from me, primarily for the story that needed to be told.

I've watched this movie twice now, and both times I was sickened by what rich people with money really have the ability and power to do. IT WAS AN EYE OPENER!!!! It's obvious to me that DEBS review on this movie was NOT EVEN CLOSE to what the movie is showing us. The FACT that DEBS reviews only shows us SHE DOESN'T LIKE ASHLEY JUDD!!!!!

DEB unfortunately missed the entire point of the movie!!!! (WEIRD). IT IS SAD!!!

I feel this movie showed us a 100,000 billion dollar point of view here with organs, drugs, and Human Trafficking.

In my Opinion, this movie woke me up to what is not only going on around the rest of the world, but going on in our own COUNTRY.

I feel the actors did a wonderful job in portraying the defiling, inhuman acts by men and women both on this subject.
