Paradise Highway

... manages to keep your attention most all of the time. The story is about trafficking young girls in the Deep South, and the police don't seem to want be on the ball - except for 85 year old Morgan Freeman who is always a pleasure to watch.

If more people could watch this movie they would have better understanding about human trafficking, The impact that it has especially young women in our society. The low rating on IMDB May keep people from watching it.

The actors : the main character- Juliette Bichon, the young actress, "Yale", and of course Morgan Freeman are enough to make it worthwhile to watch!

This human trafficking happens all over the world but surprisingly too much happens right here in the good old United States of America so please give it a higher rating and suggest to your friends to watch it

Please give it a watch.

IN A NUTSHELL: It's the presence of Morgan Freeman and Juliette Binoche on the movie poster that will pique your interest in this movie. Fans of Frank Grillo will take notice as well when they find out he's in this action thriller. The film was written and directed by Anna Gutto as her debut feature.

THINGS I LIKED: We've never seen Juliette Binoche look quite like this before! She's gritty and tough as a big-rig truck driver. As always, she does a fantastic job.

Juliette Binoche spends most of the movie in her truck with the young actress Hala Finley, who also performs well.

It's rare to see Frank Grillo NOT be in the middle of all the action in a movie like this.

There's a sad conversation about why kids who are kidnapped in the sex trade don't try to run away. I've often wondered that myself. Morgan Freeman's salty character gives us an interesting and heartbreaking answer.

There is some suspense mixed with heartwarming moments.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: I thought for sure we'd see a beach scene at the end.

The title of the movie was an odd choice.

The movie doesn't go deep enough.

TIPS FOR PARENTS: Profanity and many F-bombs (several spoken by a little girl) Jail scenes We see cigarette burns on a man's hands and tortured bruises on his chest A child is kidnapped Violence with various weapons You see several people get shot and bloodied A girl throws up all over herself We see a young girl in her underwear

THEMES: Family Human trafficking Sacrifices Past traumas Abuse Betrayal Trust Loneliness The US prison system Conscience and doing what's right Protecting the innocent Community Friendship

Thrilling thriller ive seen, much due to a slow plot drive, an editor still climbing the learning curve, and direction that are not steelframed outta competance. Its a small cast feature length truckin movie based mainly midwest USA, and the camerascoop gives you quite a few lovely shoots of the ever so flat but beautiful scenery out there.

Acting is very average, mostly due to a modest script, the child actor has talent, grillo , binnoche and freeman doesnt stand out tall, more interesting was the hauling tractors, unbelievable spacy rest/sleeping cabins in them american rigs.

As mentioned its meant to be a human trafficking thriller, with law enforcement and hudlums trailing the runaway truck. And thats mostly it, more like a drama, with neo german vibes on the film production, its not an outstanding film, but its a small recommend from the grumpy old man,if you like the restless life behind the wheel hauling goods from a to z.

You've seen worse, you've seen better. It was worth watching, I don't think I'd watch it again. Lots of despicable characters and choices, some emotions, a bit of a lackluster script.
