I got through about 6 minutes of this movie and I think that was too long. The acting is horrible. I hate to speak ill of the dead, but Anne Heche overacts and seems spastic. I don't know why they paired her with a man who looks half her age and she looks like his mother. There is absolutely no chemistry and their relationship as husband and wife is not believable at all. Her hairdresser either did an awful job on her hair or she just didn't bother to comb it. It looked unkempt. I know this is based on a true story. But this story needed better actors. I think Otis the dog is the best actor in the entire cast.
Its a reimagining of a real story so a lot of fantasy fiction involved and the actors themselves couldn't pull off real emotion so its hard to like given the actors are acting and kind of poorly except the boyfriend actor he actually pulls off his role well but everyone else was probably a miscast as none really portrayed any feelings at all to me anyways.
I really feel plastic people are not very good at acting anymore. I think actors who could portray real emotion would have better suited here for the "drama" this film is supposed to be showing to everyone who is watchin it.
Its just disappointing as it could have been great had a few more decent actors been purchased.

Starts Off Bad, But Wait, it Gets Worse...
Whoever makes this garbage should stop and focus on something else. Wedding videos maybe? Or possibly just a new career in general because this is fraud.
With unoriginal scenes, poor acting skills, and just a terrible plot- this movie has managed to make amazed at just how AWFUL a movie can be.
By far the worst movie I've ever watched in my life If you want to waste your time, and I mean waste it to the point that there is not a single net benefit, this is your movie.
Stay away at all cost, don't waste any time on this B movie crap.
This movie is insanely terrible.

I thought the film was simple and had a very strong message about human trafficking. Anne Heche was, imho great. This is what the films should be like. There was no mention of her in the In memoriam at the Oscars, which shows what Hollywood is all about.
This film is a must watch, it shows how to recognize the abuse, the victims, the turmoil. Victims are not just women, they are men and children, too. We watch but we don't see, we should look at people around us, we need to recognize this in real life in order to help victims.
Message at the end of the film is this in 2020 the International Labour Organisation estimated that there are currently 25 million victims of human trafficking around the world.
To conduct their operations, traffickers need the assistance of hospitality industry, the banking system to launder money, the transportation industry, and Internet platforms to recruit and advertise their victims.

Grace (Larissa Dias) is staying clean after her latest rehab. Her mother Janie (Anne Heche) is supportive and hopeful. While doing a favor for a friend, Grace gets kidnapped by druggie former boyfriend Richie. She's locked in a motel room to be broken down for trafficking. Most think that she had fallen off the wagon again, but Janie is relentless in her search for her daughter.
This is one of those Lifetime woman-in-trouble movie. It's noteworthy for being one of Anne Heche's final roles. Elisabeth Röhm is also trying her hand in directing. She seems to be functional, but nothing spectacular. First, Grace needs to fight harder. It's more realistic and much more compelling to push the action. The movie needs to increase the intensity at every turn and this fails to do that. There are also too many dumb characters. I wonder how much money the motel workers are getting paid to turn a blind eye to the scheme. Whatever it is, it is not enough. He's even late for the motel rental. It makes no sense. This is not a smart movie. I get that her repeated drug uses have worn down the family. In which case, the story would work better if the dad is gone and Janie is truly alone. All in all, this is a Lifetime movie and not a good one at that.
