simonbaush This movie basically attempts to make the American public think that this social problem comes from isolated, foreign criminal groups. Wrong! There are countless reports of such activities within high-ranking government officials and above. (Yes, above) Remember the Boys town cover-up? Such operations are rarely ever disrupted, because of the very fact that law enforcement agencies are themselves part of the umbrella. Perhaps children education is once again the only solution, trying to address the problem from the bottom up. This is obviously not an easy subject to discuss with children and i'm not sure how this could be done. But one thing is for sure, people shouldn't expect anything from high authorities, other than disinformation like such TV-series.
MarieGabrielle This LMN movie deserves credit for the subject matter, as does Mira Sorvino, for furthering a cause. Interesting, in the United States we do not always receive information like this on the evening news. It needs to be researched.There are several peripheral stories here, and not for the faint of heart. Filmed graphically, the stories in particular of Helena, Nadia and ICE agent (well-portrayed by Mira Sorvino) are juxtaposed here for maximum effect.The manner in which, throughout Eastern Europe,Mexico, Asia, and other areas, young women are collected, via the internet, dating or various other websites is interesting and frightening. Sergei ( well-portrayed by James Bond villain) Kaparov is effectively odious and powerful, the international black-market owner of brothels, shill corporations and websites to further his human trafficking profits, up to $250,000.00 per month as told by one victim, Helena.While this is a fictional account, upon research make no mistake that this story is but the tip of the iceberg. As Sorvino mentions, a twelve year old child can be sold on the black market for up to $1,000.000 per day, the most profitable criminal activity after drug-running and ammunition. Stark and sad, the story does not sugar-coat. Granted some of the ending violence is a bit clichéd, but the overall story is important and indelible.Performances by actress portraying Nadia, her father, Helena as well as Sorvino and Donald Sutherland and worth noting in this graphic film. Highly recommended. 9/10.
pedroascunha I saw this work and it is as moving story, hard to be told and specially to be lived by any person or related... The actress that performe Samantha Gray is well worked by actor director but in some details make remember Nat Portman in here first movie Leon, it is a good start for Labrosse. The other performe that must be referred is Nadia Tagarov by Leboeuf, deep. The story is very powerful and the Writers make the work well because they show the horror, and Director make it just, no much hide. Other powerful stories must be told... maybe one day a special one can be seen in the screen as a feature and performed by good actors and well directed!
ablefox5 Well-acted and exciting, but not a true picture of the sex trade in America. At one point, our intrepid heroine is desperately searching for the secret location of a brothel in Boston where young European girls are held against their will. However, hundreds of horny men with minimal investigative skills are somehow able to find this hidden torture chamber. A secret brothel is practically impossible. For example, you can locate European Delite escort service in Boston by Googling "Boston European escorts." This film purports to be a true-to-life expose, but its cartoonish depiction of human trafficking does not come to grips with how such horrible degradation and exploitation of women actually happens and it does happen. Brothels like the one depicted cannot exist without a level of police indifference or corruption that simply does not exist in America, imperfect as American law enforcement is. Americans and the American government are not without sin in the global sex trade, but we need another movie to tell that story.
