Ridge Runners

This is an indie release, and with many of them--especially ones about human trafficking--the acting is fair to middling. This one features excellent actors and a director who knows how to pace a story. The criminals are given colorful personalities, which make them more realistic.

No violence. No foul language. No nudity. No sexual intercourse. Yes, a suggestion of adultery. Yes, suggestive pedophilic prostitution.

The movie was hard for me to watch. But it was so well written and so brilliantly acted. I was touched and angered. However, I give a standing ovation to the writers, actors and supporters behind the movie scenes. I also applaud the guts to present and shed light on this subject that people tend to not want to even acknowledge happens, which only allows it to continue. Jennica Schwartzmanshines in this gripping thriller about a 12 year old girl who goes missing in a rural Arkansas town. She plays detective who really wants to quit the force until this case changes everything. Every one of the actors shine.

Underrated, and under advertised. Great movie that focuses on the everyday real life events we refuse to acknowledge, or think of. Even the interactions and behaviors we have as individuals/with others at home, at work, personally, privately, professionally, emotionally, and collectively, have been uniquely written and portrayed by the cast perfectly. Bring this movie into a better spotlight, and give it the attention it deserves.
