Konterr Brilliant and touching

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

kimdeas-2 I seriously have never watched a movie which brought out every emotion. I felt angry, upset, sickened, scared, on the edge of my seat, I just had no idea how much this type of sick crime goes on in the world. The media needs to broadcast more of this instead of what dog the Obamas choose or how the Aussie prime minister went to the local florist today, I mean to think this really goes on in most of the world is so frightening. I looked at my 12 month old son sleeping while watching this movie & felt scared thinking there really are a lot of sick people out there & something as awful as this could happen to anyone's child. This movie is truly thought provoking in every sense of the word.

Claudio Carvalho In Prague, Czech Republic, the single mother Helena (Isabelle Blais) is seduced by a successful handsome man and travels with him to spend a weekend in Vienna, Austria; in Kiev, Ukraine, the sixteen-year-old Nadia (Laurence Leboeuf) is selected by a model agency and travels to the United States with the other selected candidates; in Manila, Philippines, the twelve-year-old American tourist Annie Gray (Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse) is abducted in front of her parents. In common, the girls become victims of a powerful international network of sex traffickers leaded by the powerful Sergei Karpovich (Robert Carlyle). In New York, after the third death of young Eastern European prostitutes, the obstinate Russian-American NYPD agent Kate Morozov (Mira Sorvino) convinces the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Chief Bill Meehan (Donald Sutherland) to hire her, promising him that she would fight against this type of crime and that he would not regret."Human Trafficking" is the third great movie that I have watched about this sad reality. "Lilja 4-ever" and "Anjos do Sol" are extremely pessimist and realistic, but focused in the life of only one character. "Human Trafficking" gives a big picture how these gangs operate, following the drama of three lead characters. Mira Sorvino is wonderful, as usual, and her final speech about this profitable slavery of the Twentieth-First Century and the sexual tourism is very realistic and touching. The direction is excellent, the screenplay is very well written and the whole cast deserves to be congratulated for their magnificent performances. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): "Tráfico Humano" ("Human Traficking")

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.

aalter-1 Oftentimes, with even the most terrible movies, it is easy to make a guess as to why it was made: it could be targeting a "key demographic," it could be a sentimental favorite, universal story of heroism, etc. It was impossible for me to figure out just exactly why "Human Trafficking" exists, the festering, steaming pile that it is.Mostly, it boggles the mind that this was nominated for multiple Emmy and Golden Globe awards. Really? We want to award this thing? Does laughable acting, atrocious cinematography, a script seemingly penned by a 10th grader fresh off of a research paper on the topic (which would have possibly received a C), and the most embarrassingly bad "emotion" from Mira Sorvino constitute award worthiness now? I walked away feeling ashamed and humiliated for Donald Sutherland, Sorvino, and Robert Carlyle. Imagine my shock upon logging on to IMDb and finding out that THIS THING RECEIVED AWARD NOMINATIONS SOMEHOW. The cynic in me isn't too surprised, but considering this picture's extreme level of awfulness, it still shocks a little.Truly a surprise of a TV movie, and not the good kind.
