I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Human Trafficking is a television miniseries about an American Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent going undercover to stop an organization from trafficking people, and shows the struggles of four trafficked women. It stars Mira Sorvino, Donald Sutherland, Rémy Girard, and Robert Carlyle.It was directed by Christian Duguay.In the TV mini-series,four girls from across the world have been kidnapped and thrust into the terrifying world of international sex trade, and a specialized team of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are determined to bring down the global network that sponsors such heinous crimes. A former victim who has dedicated her life to protecting the innocent, ICE agent Kate Morozov braves the flesh- peddlers of Russia and endures the terror of an urban torture chamber located in the very heart of Queens in order to bring the ruthless kingpin behind these crimes to justice. When the world's most dedicated cop crosses swords with the man who drives one of the most expansive global conspiracies on the planet, the stage is set for an explosive confrontation of epic proportions.Human Trafficking is difficult to watch.Just when many people have realized that sexual slavery and verisimilitude of human life being equated to money,this TV movie shows that it is still one of the most profitable industry in the 21st century behind drugs and weapons.The viewer will definitely find it painful to watch what the women who were selected unwillingly go through in the tragedy that they face.It was a good thing that the movie avoids big action sequences and avoids the trap of trying to make it a detective story as it never loses its public message about the issue at hand.Also,special mention should be given to both Sutherland and Sorvino for their outstanding and excellent acting.I give this film a high recommendation for this powerful TV movie.

I can't believe how Hollywood treats this very serious issue. There are victims all over this planet of sex slavery, but this movie shows one of the worst forms of it and does not even closely resemble the true ways that victims are handled. If women are beaten so ruthlessly by most of the traffickers in this world, dead traffickers would be a much more common fact. It would also include a lot of dead politicians, since, without some of them being required to turn their heads, many brothels would be closed down. The vice squads in cities know about most of the brothels that open up and move quickly to different locations. Why don't they close in on them? It wouldn't take much effort to get search warrants quickly on most locations once they know about it. Countless massage parlors have illegal aliens working in them who are doing tricks. Some are underage, but I think that's more propaganda than reality. If that were true, there should be public trials and we should bring back the guillotine. Traffickers are amongst the lowest forms of life on this planet and those convicted of it should get life sentences without the possibility of parole. There should be more factual documentaries on TV about sex trafficking and regular citizens should be given more information on how to identify and how to report on indicators of likely trafficking. This movie touches on something that anyone with an ounce of morality would be appalled by. If our Gov. can bail out banks with trillions of our tax payer dollars, why can't they crack down on traffickers a lot more? Makes me wonder about following the dollars and who might be involved in these crimes against humanity that happen daily. I think the fortune 500 and Washington have about as much morals as dry deserts have water. And, mass marketing television has only as much concern for the general condition of the Human Race as that which will provide entertainment at top commercial rate-card numbers. Hollywood has NO MORALS AT ALL! Money and glamor -- Hate the poor people! Distrust those who say they want less poverty, a better environment, a more accountable government! LOVE, BELIEVE IN, WORSHIP THE RICHEST OF THE RICH PEOPLE! Be willing to give all to and to die for the rich people! That's our entertainment world...

This movie is a surprisingly well orchestrated little show of horrors. The movie does not bring new knowledge to the table but it reminds us, in an utmost graphic way, the most disgusting form of human exploitation: sex slaves. The movie presents the path of four different young girls to this horrible fate and it will keep your consciousness wriggling in pain knowing that as we speak, these sex crimes are being perpetrated in our cities. A scary film that will make you want to hold your children tightly by your side.The actors play is good and the performance by Remy Girard accurately pictures the suffering of a parent that has lost a child.A gruesome yet necessary exposure to the facts of our society. A definite must-see, preferably not alone.

This movie has left me shaken and sad - but most importantly, it left me more aware and more inclined to take action in the fight to end human trafficking. I think everyone should see it. As a woman, watching this movie was especially horrifying and hard...it makes me sick to fathom that right now, another woman is being raped, abused, humiliated in one of these trafficking brothels. I don't think I could survive what these women experience. I see a lot posts on this thread about how "every woman" and "every teenage girl" needs to watch this movie...how about every man? In the film, whenever I saw a scene with a "client," I thought, "Doesn't this man know he's raping this woman? Does he know she's a slave? Does he care? Who are all these 'clients' anyway?" It's sickening. The good men out there need to see this film to be aware of what women and children face in the world. As for men like those in this film, well, they need to see this to know the world is waking up and won't put up with this forever.
