Critics Reviews

Carla Hay Culture Mix [This movie] warps the very disturbing and horrifying crime of sex trafficking into an atrocious melodrama with acting so bad that it's almost a crime itself. The movie is also filled with racist stereotypes that are downright offensive. Feb 24, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Sierra When the characters talk to each other it sounds like they're reading from a script. The acting is below average, but I think the bad writing has something to do with it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/17/23 Full Review Matthew A Sorry Dean!!! It must have been the writing... This movie addressed a horrible pandemic called Trafficking. However, the writing was among the worst I have ever seen in a movie since... Wait, I don't know that I have seen it this bad ever. Though the information and how things went MAY occur in the real world, it really didn't show here. "It's 20k a week, and Grandma has sunk at least 100k into a failing Dean Cain, with 1% results. There was a ton of missing tech, unrealistic situations, and poor acting. Read the crappy lines folks. This movie was a horror, and I don't mean scary! It is a very disturbing and sad subject, but it is real, even if the movie didn't make it seem that way. If you see this movie pop up somewhere as a choice, do NOT choose it! It was a super waste of time!!! Sad, sad, Superman!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
