Beyond the Neon

That Actual people are surprised by this? Are you lot for real? How many programs and films over the years has there been about Sex Trafficking ?

Vegas was run by the mob, it's not a clean city, there is now a massive drug culture in Vegas, go off the strip see the porn shows, the druggies. 1st went to Vegas in the 80s the Real Vegas with Sands, Dunes that was Vegas baby.

Been there twice since, going again next year as part of Route 66. Last time 4 of us me and the gf and another couple had around 30 cards put into our hands, but what surprised me was how the Vans with ads on the side are allowed to drive around ?

Seems to me the big wheels of Vegas are quite happy for this to carry on, I wonder how much the pimps made over the F1 weekend.

A lot of the women are brought in from overseas the Ukraine, Russia, Asia, etc. It's not new been going on for many years, these girls are tricked into "making their money" or becoming a film star put on drugs.

This looks very scripted, never heard of this geezer before.

UTuber Joe Saladino makes a semi fake documentary about the exploitative female escort business in Las Vegas. He weaves real life interviews into a story about an undercover investigation involving a fake victim and fake criminals.

Whilst he should be commended for bringing attention to the coercion and exploitation of female escort workers, his self promoting methods distract from this issue.

The acting of Joe and his friends are terrible and the staged fights are laughable. His portrayal of law enforcement is ridiculous and is only there to portray him as some sort of victim.

The only good thing about the movie is the interview with a tremendously brave and dedicated lady who runs a shelter for women looking to leave the industry in which they are caught in. I also found it interesting how escorts agency are shown to circumvent the prostitution laws especially with the hand out cards with confirmation numbers.

The movie is set up to feel like a reality film, the wooden acting an unnatural dialogue removes you from this facade. If you've watched the first ten minutes, you've seen the best the movie has to offer.

Open opening, you're left wondering if you are actually watching a reality based story with real human connections. The acting is forced and the dialogue more so as they begin to show scenes that make no sense to even have a camera there.

The message from the movie is that all girls in the Los Vagas escort world are there under the forceful rule of pimps that have trafficked them there. This view offers no balance.

If you are studying film however, this movie offers value as the production mechanics are obvious and it would allow you to easily break down its construction.

The movie is just plain horrible.

Not exactly a documentary. It reminds me of those exploitation movies of the 50's, only updated for today's purient interests, but just as bad.

It's made like a middle school project that could never get made because of the subject matter.

The people who made this film really should never work again because every one of them is void of talent.

It's really worse than someone buying a camera and deciding to make a movie over the weekend.

The acting is bad; the music is horrible; and the directing is non-existent.

They have no clue about filmmaking. One of the worst movies I've seen all year.

Fantastic movie! Beyond the Neon will never make you look at Vegas the same way and that's a good thing! It's incredibly eye opening and touches upon things that are really happening, but no one sees.

The movie is not a documntary, but the story documents sex trafficking and what is really happening in Vegas. There's many intense parts, but the film breaks it up with some levity. If you're looking for something new and noteworthy, I'd defintley recommend Beyond the Neon.

The main characters don't know what they're walking into at first, but then discover a world like no other and keep pushing the envelope. The ending is espeically memorable and mind-blowing. Trying not to give away too much, but it's not something you'll forget.
