It all could have been better period. Misuse of great actors and actress in my opinion.
... View MoreActing: 2/10 Story: 1/10 Location, dressing, makeup: 3/10 Duplicating outdated cheap cliches: 10/10! Overal: 1/10This movie is so bad that indeed it is offensive to the victims of human trafficking.While it tries to disseminate the horrors of this crime, it is exactly doing the opposite by sexualizing the main character and portraying the villains as weak, easy to overcome, highly connected, few in number and ... , while the heroin is apparently the luckiest human being on earth! Surviving every situation, while making the stupidest decision possible. In every situation she has an absurd lucky break that saves her life! i.e. That nail! There is no storyline, what so ever, just a series of broken events and misguiding leads.The acting is just so unbearable and meaningless. I'm still wondering how the rating system has been manipulated to produce such a high rating (comparative to what it really deserves).90+ minutes of my life wasted!
... View MoreIn all honesty, this movies start's with the makings of a half decent thriller. Until, the storyline withered rapidly into an orgy of cheese-tardation, leaving this film in the realm of B-movies, if not TV movies.For example: Brea (the main character) get's into a car to try and get away from her pursuer, she puts the key in the ignition of the vehicle, and guess what happens? - The car doesn't start!I mean, seriously, either there's a HELL of a lot of cars in America that people have parked in their driveway that don't start, or, it's lazy, lazy, LAZY scriptwriting... It's so pathetic! That's basically how the storyline progresses; It gets cheesier, cheesier, and even cheeeesier... Until it's lost any glimmer of hope!Bottomline, the storyline is incredibly weak and juvenile spoiling any slight trace of potential it had in the first place!If you're looking for a no-nonsense, adult, gripping thriller movie, then this isn't for you! However, check out the British film 'Calibre', as that movie will fit your requirements.
... View MoreI liked Omar Epps in House, and enjoyed him in this movie. There was definitely some 'weak' acting moments (not that I could do better), and some implausible situations/decisions, it wasn't a total waste of 1.5hrs. I wouldn't watch it again, but wasn't angry I had, when it was over.
