Human Trafficking (2005)

To me, this movie is perfection.

How sad is this?

Good movie but grossly overrated

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

An eastern European girl forced into prostitution commits suicide and NYPD Detective Kate Morozov (Mira Sorvino) investigates. She goes to see I.C.E. agent Bill Meehan (Donald Sutherland) and become an agent herself. In Prague, single mom Helena (Isabelle Blais) is lured by a handsome guy to Vienna and kidnapped. In Kiev, Nadia (Laurence Leboeuf) enters a modeling competition run by Sergei Karpovich (Robert Carlyle) which turns out to be a front for a sex trafficking ring. Her father Viktor (Rémy Girard) is tracking her relentlessly. In Manila, 12 year old American tourist Annie Gray is abducted for the sex trade joining other little children.This is a horrifying movie. It doesn't go easy on anything although it is a TV show with certain limits. The Manila story may be scattering the movie too much. I understand the need to expand and encompass as much of the problem as possible in this movie. It probably would make more dramatic sense to have the girl kidnapped by one of Karpovich's man in America. It would tie everything up much easier. Leboeuf and Blais are amazing as the victims. I don't really buy Sorvino as the hardened cop but she's good enough with Sutherland as her boss. This is a really disturbing movie that goes into some dark places.

HEY ALICEBOY FROM Sweden!!!! You slated this movie because of it;s acting and script.. I want to tell you that you're a waste of a human for being such an idiot!! THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT RAISING AWARENESS!!!!! AND YES - IT IS HAPPENING in Sweden too!!! So Get off your ignorant ass and do something instead of just slating something.This movie, much like Taken, gripped at the very Heart of me! That people can be so heartless and cold to take someone's dignity and life, is so evil and unthinkable. Who the HELL do they think they are??? THE WORLD MUST do something about this! God help the man I find trafficking kids and people because they will suffer beyond measure!Here's a message to human trafficking scum out there: Would you sell your own child or mother to be raped every day so you could get rich? CAN YOU REALLY LIVE WITH YOURSELF???????? SCUM! God is watching you, and YOU WILL DIE one day, and there will be NO MERCY for you unless you STOP your EVIL acts, and start paying YOUR Debt by rescuing and mending that which you have done!!!!!

Thank you for your comments. I feel exactly the same. I have watched this movie last nite. It took me few ours as I needed to stop few times. I ended up at this website because I needed to see the actress as not real characters. I been raped my self and I feel like it was nothing compare to it. The movie shows how hard is to get this bustards because the people whom are into power are mostly males and they don't care as long there is no murder or big money involved. Don't get me wrong that I am trying to criticize guys, I have a great boyfriend my self however it feels like they don't find is as terrible. I got on the train today morning and I could see a number of potential child molesters, I swear and I know that nothing will ever happen to most of them. I don't know how to explain to myself that it was a movie and the real world is not that bad

Oftentimes, with even the most terrible movies, it is easy to make a guess as to why it was made: it could be targeting a "key demographic," it could be a sentimental favorite, universal story of heroism, etc. It was impossible for me to figure out just exactly why "Human Trafficking" exists, the festering, steaming pile that it is.Mostly, it boggles the mind that this was nominated for multiple Emmy and Golden Globe awards. Really? We want to award this thing? Does laughable acting, atrocious cinematography, a script seemingly penned by a 10th grader fresh off of a research paper on the topic (which would have possibly received a C), and the most embarrassingly bad "emotion" from Mira Sorvino constitute award worthiness now? I walked away feeling ashamed and humiliated for Donald Sutherland, Sorvino, and Robert Carlyle. Imagine my shock upon logging on to IMDb and finding out that THIS THING RECEIVED AWARD NOMINATIONS SOMEHOW. The cynic in me isn't too surprised, but considering this picture's extreme level of awfulness, it still shocks a little.Truly a surprise of a TV movie, and not the good kind.
