Traffik: Liberdade Roubada

This film captured the story line brilliantly it kept you on your guard and had at some points in the movie on the edge of your seat waiting for justice. The acting was superb and the director nailed it.

One of the better films out this year 8 out 10 a job well done and glad I went to see it.

This movie is based on a real case happened in North Cal, which is where I'm currently living. I used to think this kind of criminal - human traffic - would only take place in the area where it's far and less developed. However, this movie made me realize the hidden danger. I became more cautious like double check the front and back door lock every night before going to bed. I also began to avoid going to places in the middle of no where by myself (which I did a lot before).

I think all girls should have this sense in their mind, that the world is not as safe as we though. It's really important to learn to protect ourselves.

Therefore, regardless how good/bad the movie is ( i think it's pretty good), I give it a 10/10 star and recommend every girl to watch it for the lesson it taught us and the public awareness it raises.

This movie had the potential to really shed light on the serious issue of sex trafficking had it been provided with better direction/storyline. Instead it comes off as a cheesy teeny bopper "let's go to my uncle's cabin in the woods" b list horror film. There is nothing good about this film with the exception of Omar Epps acting. You will not be attached to any character in this film. You will find yourself yelling at the scream yelling "Come On" and wanting to slap and shoulder shake the main character from start to finish. Nothing in this movie is realistic. Watch this movie when you need a good laugh, feel like being frustrated or need a guide on everything absolutely not to ever do ever about anything.

I have read most of the reviews on here which led me to fall in the middle. I agree not worth the 7.4 it has but the subject manner and story is important to tell. There is more human trafficking in the US than most would believe. Women are over sexualized and that has become the norm, part of our culture, and too easily accepted. The biggest problem I had with this film was just that. The tight clothing, unnecessary sex scenes, the male friend of the lead character (Omar Epps) is a womanizing pig. Also, whomever was the makeup artist n this needs be reprimanded for the overuse of blush on Paula Patton's character, Brea. I found it distracting and kept wondering what was wrong with her face. In a story of this nature the over the top sexualized details are in bad taste. They should of stuck to the basics and the true nature of this despicable industry. In the end it all fell a bit short.

So much more than what I was expecting. If you saw the trailer to this movie, not only does it barely scrape the surface of what's going on but it's a little misleading to what the film is really about. It's not the best movie in the world, as it's a little too obviously being used as a vehicle for Paula Patton (who also produced it) to show how well she can do in the driver's seat as a leading lady, but the overall direction it's heading down was very satisfying to see.
