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.

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.

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.

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