Infiltrada - Golpe de Vingança

"Catch the Fair One" has a similar plot as other films about the search for a loved one who is kidnapped to be a sex slave. But there is a big difference in this one, a case linked to the disappearance of a native indigenous girl and its environment. As the police don't investigate the case, her old sister, a boxer infiltrates the world of girls' kidnapping and prostitution. Kali Reis as the boxer Kaylee is impressive, she personifies her character with such magnificence and emotion that it feels like we are watching not fiction but a documentary. There are some issues with the scripts but overall, director Josef Kubota Wladyka managed to capture and convey the feeling of helplessness that native people still experience and suffer today.

It would be some kind of 8MM - 1999 - where Nick Cage was in desperate search for a missing girl. Both movies are dark, gloom, gritty, depressing, disturbing, exactly what I crave for, not for the squeamish nor the good whole family. It is close t real life. No anti hero here, and I can accept that ONCE MORE, the lead character is a female. After all, since one decade now, you have tons of those films and series. I also like the sub characters here, it doesn't only focus on the main character. It's also unusual. For instance the villain in his home, with his kids.... I already saw this in EQUALIZER 2. Terrific ending, far far far from Hollywood standards.

This film is definitely a step above other familiar themed low budget films. What a pleasant surprise! Love watching acting that feels like you're watching ordinary people living their struggle. This one definitely succeeds at that.

Don't overthink and it will pull you in til the end. Definitely worth a one time watch.

For anything you might have to say badly about this film, the lead Kali Reis was so good! I found there to be some issues with stiffness in the writing and acting, but otherwise the story really touched an important issue and the sincere performance of Kali Reis really made this movie impactful. Because of the subject matter, it can be hard to watch but I give the director credit for the real and gritty tone he used to present this needed story.

I thought it will be an ok way to kill 2 hours. Instead it's a really good film. Slow built till the end. Very interesting plot and acting is A+. Really a good Indie thriller reminds me of 90s films. For that I recommend. If you like to have a hero as main actress that we know why she does what she need to do.
