7/10
Hard-hitting and brutal...
24 February 2021
Well, given the title of the movie, you already know beforehand what you are getting yourself into when you sit down to watch the 2017 movie "Trafficked". However, I still sat down to watch the movie, as it was one that I hadn't already seen.

Sure, the 2017 movie "Trafficked" deals with a very brutal and inhumane topic, but at the same time it is a movie that is well-worth watching. Not because of the entertainment value to the movie, but because of the fact that it is based on grotesque things that happen every single day around the entire world. And it is a movie that I think you should sit down to watch, even though it being a somewhat brutal movie.

The storyline needs little explanation, so I will not go into that. But the acting performances in the movie were spot on, and that applies to both those women portraying the sex slaves as well as the men portraying the shady people dealing in sex trade.

"Trafficked" has an impressive cast list actually, and I was definitely more than surprised to see the likes of Sean Patrick Flanery, Jason London, Patrick Duffy, Efren Ramirez and Brian Thompson in a movie such as this. Some of them even just had minor roles, not even support roles, in the movie, but still a very bold move to participate in a movie such as this. Hats off to the people involved in this particular movie.

I found "Trafficked" to be a riveting movie, one that had a storyline that proved captivating from the very beginning, and director Will Wallace managed to ensure that the movie never lost its momentum.

If you find yourself with the chance to sit down to watch this 2017 movie, you most certainly should do so. My rating of "Trafficked" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars. "Trafficked" is the type of movie that has a profound impact on the audience, given the severity of the issues that the movie deal with, and the fact that this happens to ordinary people every single day. "Trafficked" definitely leaves you with a lasting impression and gives you something to ponder about.
