Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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!

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")

dgwyn I saw it on DVD this weekend. Not an easy movie to watch. It could have been better written. Too many clichés and stereotypes. The Johns and pimps that the movie dwells on are too obvious monsters. It might have worked better if some time had been spent on some of the less reprehensible "bad" characters. Part of the problem of real slave sex trade is that the victimizers are too often average Joes and indeed Janes, such as Carlyle's female assistant. The mini-series also largely avoids the issue that some of the victims get trapped into the trade knowing they are going to become prostitutes. That is to say they know they are going to be prostitutes, they just don't realize just how horrific the conditions are going to be. As far as why the series was shot in Montreal, not New York, well, the movie business is a business after: it is cheaper to film in Montreal than New York. A scene not included on the DVD was shot a few blocks from my apartment. The train station where Sorvino lets Girard go is very likely the Montreal West AMT station. Montreal is used as location for New York City, Washington, D.C. (the brothel), Newark, and Manila (the port scenes at the end at least).

Dave Farrugia I commemorate the director for producing such a moving and eye opener of a movie! I applaud him for bringing public awareness on such an important issue that many around the world aren't aware and needs to be addressed. I strongly recommend that everyone see's this movie because it is more than a movie, it depicts the reality that human trafficking is indeed real and we need to bring this to everyone's attention to hopefully put a stop to the inhumanity that is Human Traffic. Mira Sorvena plays an amazing role, I cannot recall ever seeing her in any other movies but a brilliant performance throughout the movie. What can I say about Donald Sutherland, a master at his best and Robert Carlyle who I think plays a brilliant villain. I've actually seen Robert Carlyle play other villain rolls in other movies which he plays exceptionally well.An excellent movie, well done to all the cast and crew.
