Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Carolyn Barratt The true story of about a teenaged girl, who, in the mid-eighties, got messed up with an older man, and led her into the world of prostitution. When Diana's parents suddenly divorce, her world starts going down hill. Add to her upset over her home situation, her boyfriend suddenly breaks off with her for another girl, further causing her to lose self esteem. Her best friend takes her to a night club, hoping it will cheer things up for her, and it is here, where she meets AJ Treece(character based on Adrian Coleman). He flatters her, and makes her forget all about her other boyfriend. When Diana invites AJ to come to her house to introduce him to her mother, her mother instantly senses that he is bad news, and lets Diana know. Diana leaves her mother, to move in with AJ, and before long, he gets her to perform at strip clubs, and begins employing her as a prostitute. A police man even tries to warn Diana to get out while she can. When AJ abuses Diana, she returns to her mother, but, AJ convinces to come back to him, and he gets her into prostitution again. Eventually Diana was found murdered in another city, but, there is no strong evidence pointing to either AJ or Randi(another gf-turned prostitute), so Diana's mother and the police officer have to resort to charging AJ which racketeering, in order to have him jailed, for Diana's death.
Astorino I liked this show when aired on TV and was familiar with case since went to school with the gal. Wish was on DVD but doesn't seem to have been released. Sad part about this is that after something like 30 years Portland hasn't changed with a serial child rapist as our ex Govenor and a mayor who the people refused to recall twice who groomed and had sex with a 17 boy in city hall bathroom. Portland has been listed and was show on Diane Sawyers program back in October 2010 as the number one city in the US for child sex slave trade and its not abating when you have the powers that be that enjoy it and the citizenry who love their illegals and drugs and "Keeping Portland Weird" to want child sex to change in this city. Sad commentary to a movie that tried to change that.
Sweetiepie I saw this when i was home sick one day and thought it was gonna be just another typical lifetime movie, which is fine because i like those movies. It was about an 18 yr. old girl, Diana Moffitt, who after her parents get divorced, gets into exotic dancing by a man she meets at a club(Antontio Sabato Jr.)This leads to prostitution and A.J. starts beating her up. Eventually, she gets in so deep, that she can't get out. When she turns up dead, her mother does everything in her power to seek justice. She knows it was A.J. who killed her daughter, but there is no hard evidence. Good movie, interesting. I felt bad for the mother and the daughter. This was a real story too. Diana Moffitt really was found dead in the late 80s. The real A.J. Treece was sent to jail. **** of *****
Mark Price Gayle Moffitt (Evans) has her world torn apart when her daughter Diana takes up with a manipulative and ruthless man who seduces her into a world of prostitution.
