Trafficked

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
