The topic of human trafficking is a horribly disturbing one. So why did this movie feel almost silly instead of serious? In the first parts of the movie, a woman has acid dumped on her face, another has her virginity sold, and a group of young woman are sold by someone they trusted to traffickers. It's awful stuff, but it always felt very cliché and more like a TV movie than a theatrical one... As in, this is what bad guys do and say, and this is how vulnerable yet tough women find their resilience by carrying around stuffed animals and bonding with each other in between rapes....
For a movie in a similar vein, I recommend the mini-series Human Trafficking with Mira Sorvino. That actually WAS made for TV, but it's superior to this movie.

My wife enjoyed this movie I thought it was badly edited and the acting was below average excluding the child actors, i did stick with the movie as apprently it was a true story and I wanted to see the outcome, towards the end there was some excitement but the movie overall disappoints.

Sucked in once again. I watched the movie due to Ashley Judd being in the it. Well hold on, if you can, for the entire, maybe, 10 minutes that she is actually in the movie. Major marketing duplicity.
Once you get past that, the movie is filled with left over actors from the 80's and a girl supposed to be 18, was in her mid 20's but looks 35. The cast is just horrible and the delivered acting presents what you would expect.
It has a real horror story to tell but instead the fear comes when you realise how many more minutes you have to sit through.
A highly important topic as this deserves and needs a much better film to illustrate it :)

Bad script, bad direction and bad acting.
This review is too short.
