"Trade has cojones for trying to lay the kind of political guilt trip it does on us with its sham aesthetics and lurid telenovela-writ-large storyline." - Ed Gonzalez

A cause that deserves more attention wrapped up in passable story-telling. Acting suffers - especially of the North American actors (probably the producers couldn't afford better ones). If this is your first introduction into the issue of human trafficking, I wonder if it will make a hard enough impact on you. Some scenes are really good. But if you know & care enough about this issue, this movie comes off as a disappointment. The script & performance could have used a few more revisions.

Pretty bad.

Film bir çok karakteirn gözünden anlatsa da, Cesar Ramos'un Jorge isimli karakteri önplana çikiyor. Yasina göre, ilk deneyiminin getirdigi tecrübesizlige dayanan bir takim hatalari saymazsak çok çok iyi bir oyun sergiledigini düsündügüm Ramos, filme ilgimi arttiran yegane unsurdu. Ancak özellikle finalde Amerikali polislerin günü kurtararak, filmin genelinde verilmek istenen Amerikali kanun görevlilerinin insan ticaretine gözlerini yummasi mesaji yerle bir oluyor.

Competent but ultimately forgettable. Kline is either misused or underutilized - and the deus ex machina of an ending is a major cop out and blow to the film.

This movie addresses a very important issue which does not seem to get a lot of attention. Whenever I think of my "favorite" movies, this one immediately pops to my mind. Its very well written, the actors are just great, it is very dramatic and touching. I felt like I learned a lot from this movie!

This film get's bogged down in the way it's told.I felt that the filmmaker's were trying to please two different audiences.There are several scenes that seem to be there to try to appeal to a broader audience that wouldn't necessarily watch this type of film.The ending is the most problematic and disappointing part of this film.It felt contrived and emotionally manipulative and really pulled me out of the story.

The story of human trafficking is a great topic for a movie, but this movie didn't do the subject justice. There were just too many little scenes that weren't done right that made me disinterested.

It's hard to fault a movie that tackles the subject of human trafficking so well: wrenchingly emotive, yet respectfully sensitive to it's young subjects. The only downer for me was Kline's exceedingly bland character.

Grim if now somewhat over familiar people trafficking 'issue' drama. Predictable plot is jolted with one fine scene on a cliff top. Kevin Kline is passable. A noble cause to highlight but not terribly entertaining.
