Trafficked

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.

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.

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

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.
