Trafficked (2017)

Very Bad Film. Unrealistic. Badly Written Script.

[2/10 · 23 January 2018]

Apparently this is based on a book. I don't want to read that book. I don't know if the book was badly written, or if the script for the movie was badly written; but something was badly written, and it shows. Also, the acting heavyweights in this movie, such as Ashley Judd, a frigging Boondock Saint, fercryingoutloud, and even Pedro, who I would vote for in any ballot he's in, they all play bad guys, in bit roles, I guess to tell warn us not to trust on appearances, which seems kind of dumb in the face of it, at least in the context of this movie. Also, the acting by the main players is kind of just really bad. I think the topic is important, and this movie cheapened it. A much better movie, in my opinion, about the same topic, is The Paradise Suite, which touched on the same topics in a much more poignant way.
