Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
cnpoole75 This film highlight the scary truth of trafficking of young girls and women. This is based on true events and should not be taken lightly of how deep the rabbit hole actually goes. Paula Palton's acting needs a bit of a boost, at the beginning she is a little annoying but as the films moves on her acting improves. All other actors were on the mark.I would recommend this film. So many things we take for granted in life. Be vigilant people Trafficking is a Billion pound industry and our leaders are involved in this.
sloveniandragon The theme of the movie deals with illegal buissness involving all kinds of people even the ones you didnt expect. It is a kind of mixed horror story since our guys get trapped in a house seeking desperately to find an escape before getting killed. Sure the main character survives and the rest get all punished, just like the movies Lord of War and I spit on your Grave it is based in a true actual account, it is highly enjoyable, i recomnend it to anyone.
westsideschl Had promise, but fell to redundant used before script. Couples leave the city to vacation in remote cabin (this one is a bit pricey - millions). Get harassed on the way; get in the middle of a trafficking ring, and then face the consequences. All very predictable all the way through. What makes it particularly bad are the dumb decisions scene after scene (especially the initial ones by our female co-lead- just dumb, dumb). Why is it always the females? OK, the males added a few themselves. There must be more creative ways to extend the story for 90 min.
lavatch In the special features track of the DVD of "Traffik," writer-director Deon Taylor explained how, as a resident of Sacramento, he felt compelled to make a film about human trafficking when he learned that the Sacramento was #5 in the nation in that horrific criminal activity.Taylor went on to describe how in the second draft of the screenplay, he chose to draw the protagonist, an investigative journalist, deeper into the world of human trafficking when she becomes a victim. It turned out that the decision to focus on the horror of being abducted and forced into bondage was made all the more powerful when the journalist Brea has the experience first-hand.A shortcoming of the film was the by-the-numbers action plot and a somewhat predictable ending. The most memorable relationship was that of Brea and a hard-working auto mechanic with whom she has fallen in love. The main action unfolds when the couple escapes to the mountains where the mechanic plans to propose to Brea. Of course, their plans go awry when they stop at gas station and encounter the nefarious creatures engaged in a human trafficking ring.The performances were top notch, and the cinematography was outstanding, with especially creative locations selected. The beautiful terrain was a stark contrast to the revolting subject matter. At one point in the film, one of the mid-level operatives of the human trafficking ring opines, "everything is trafficked!" which is a sad commentary on our world even if the statement has only an iota of truth.
