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.

Finally the topic of human traffiking is being looked at. Wish this movie got deeper into the subject, but i guess Hollywood would have shutdown this production if it did go deep into the rabbit hole.

I applaud Ashley Judd for going there and wish she would go there more instead of the plastic surgeon.

This story and all the stories of human trafficking, organ harvesting and child sacrifice needs to be told over and over.

Just because the subject is a very serious topic doesn't make the actual movie good. The message is definitely one that needs to get out there and reach people but the execution was poor. It came across more like a Lifetime network movie with the over the top acting and rushed ending. A subject this serious deserves a several-part mini-series to accurately tell the story.

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.

Sad and heartbreaking but it brought a lot of awareness to me of the sex traffic business and how sick the world is. The acting in some places could of been a tad bit better but all in all a good film. keep your children close and don't trust anyone.

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.

We started this movie and it quickly made us feel very uneasy. We finally turned it off, wanting to watch something more uplifting. The next day I continued to watch the rest of the movie and am so glad I did. Yes the first half is very ugly and hard to even imagine however watching the last half shows you many great things about the strength we have and the will to survive. Most importantly people need to know this is happening here, to our children. We have to fight human trafficking with every thing we have.

The topic of human trafficking is a horribly disturbing one. So why did this movie feel almost silly instead of serious? In the first parts of the movie, a woman has acid dumped on her face, another has her virginity sold, and a group of young woman are sold by someone they trusted to traffickers. It's awful stuff, but it always felt very cliché and more like a TV movie than a theatrical one... As in, this is what bad guys do and say, and this is how vulnerable yet tough women find their resilience by carrying around stuffed animals and bonding with each other in between rapes....

For a movie in a similar vein, I recommend the mini-series Human Trafficking with Mira Sorvino. That actually WAS made for TV, but it's superior to this movie.

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.

I think the concept is great and raises awareness as well bc this is something that continues to happen and it's sad. The only thing is I feel like this type of film should've had way better actors. I almost cut it off 10 minutes in because the acting is not good and for me personally that will make me not want to watch a movie. Would love to see this recreated with some at least B list actors.

Probably underrated. This, a fairly decent story of how three women survived sex trafficking and their experience at a "ranch" in Texas.

My wife enjoyed this movie I thought it was badly edited and the acting was below average excluding the child actors, i did stick with the movie as apprently it was a true story and I wanted to see the outcome, towards the end there was some excitement but the movie overall disappoints.

In California, when the teenager orphan Sara (Kelly Washington) is eighteen years old, she needs to leave the foster home of Mother Monica (Anne Archer) and her sister Natalie (Madison Wolfe) behind. The social worker Diane (Ashley Judd) offers a waitress training on a cruise ship in Houston. However, she sells Sara and the other girls to human traffickers. In India, the upper-class Amba (Alpa Banker) is with a friend in a bar and rejects the harassment of the criminal Raj Singh (Mayank Bhatter). While heading back home, Amba and her friend are forced to stop their car and Raj throws acid on them and sells Amba as sex slave. Sara and Amba travel to a brothel in Texas owned by the dealers Simon (Sean Patrick Flanery) and the powerful Christian (Patrick Duffy). Sara and Amba befriends the experienced Nigerian Mali (Jessica Obilom) that advises them how to survive in the brothel. Simon tells the sex slaves that they have a debt of 500 men each and after having these encounters, they will be free to go. But when they realize that Simon is lying, Sara decides to flee and invites Amba and Mali to go with her.

"Trafficked" is a powerful film based on a true story of human trafficking, which is one of the nastiest crimes in the world. The screenplay is very well written and with great performances. The theft of organs, arms and drugs trafficking are also shown in this film, but the main focus is the trafficking of sex slaves. Brazil has many missing persons and probably many of them are kidnapped or lured for human trafficking. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Tráfico de Mulheres" ("Women Trafficking")

Firstly the claims asserted to be factual by this film are utterly debunked by the data. The claim that the average ago of entry into sex work is 14" ha been debunked by the Atlantic, the Washington Post Fact Check", and Poilitifact. The Peer reviewed work shows the average age for entry is in fact between 22 to 23 years old. The number 14 and 13 came from a small set of interviews with MINORS who were at the time in sex work or on custody .ONLY minors. . That is like attempting to assert the general risk of fires in all homes by only using the set of houses with smokers domiciled. The truly random samples of sex workers shows they are in average 22.7 years old when they start. We ended up with Congressional testimony (including by someone involved in this film) and then Senator Klobuchar making this "14-years-old" statement, which the Obama justice department had to come out and clarify was a baseless statistic. The data also show average reduced lifespan, controlling for poverty, is 11 months. That is right, women in sex work lose, in their lifetime, an average of eleven months mostly actually effect of venerial diseases like AIDS or hepatitis, and not some generalized homicide. Also the organ harvesting in the US or Canada trope has been even ore thoroughly debunked nonsense. But most egregious is Ashly Judd character as someone who works though US orphanages and foster care institutions to induct girls into slave based prostitution. That is as disgusting as the rumors about Comet Pizza and Judd ought to be ashamed of herself. There is exactly zero evidence that that is a significant source. Highest risk for a minor girl entering into prostitution in studies in six us jurisdictions? Being domiciled in a home with a man with criminal; record, most typically a boyfriend of the mother. That actually north of 93% of gun violnmce involving children. If you want to do something about children and prostitutions or for that matter kids and gun violence, make it illegal to allow anyone with a felony arrest in any home where there are children.

Not much to say about this movie other than it's very, very bad. They have really scraped the barrel in terms of actors.

Enjoyed the movie from start till end more like a sunday afternoon or thru week daytime movie thou but enjoyable enough

I quit at approximately 27 min. Just lost interest. Human trafficking is sick and disgusting and wrong on so many levels but the story they tried to tell (again, I quit after 27 minutes) just sucked. Poor directing. If I'm not mistaken, Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite was a bartender, also the villain from Cobra is in it (which actually adds bonus points IMO.) Scene after scene of women of different races being beaten and bound by rope or duct tape or whatever crying or laying dormant was just depressing. If the director thought those scenes would help open the world's eyes to a serious problem, he did a bad job. Tell a good story with a good script that doesn't offend the viewer and makes people aware, and is also smart, suspenseful, and well told. Trafficked did not do this. If this movie's goal was to shed a light on a disturbing industry it failed. Bad script, bad acting. Just ugly and poorly made. Do not recommend.
