Disturbing...
Review date: 2008-02-15 Rating: 10 out of 10
It is difficult to write a review for this dvd.. It is not what you could possibly call 'entertaining'.. It is very disturbing - all the more so because the events depicted do actually occur... That said, however, I feel it is a story that needs to be told, and I am glad that I have seen it, and would recommend it highly.. particularly for anyone who works in any type of helping profession where they might come across individuals who have endured such horrific experiences.. or anyone who truly cares about what goes on this world, and the pain some people have had to suffer.. it will encourage at least some degree of empathy and understanding... Not to be taken lightly, and not something you would want to watch to feel uplifted.. but superbly handled in every way.. the acting is incredible, the story has been told well - and you will not finish seeing this without having been 'affected'..

awesome yet sad
Review date: 2007-09-23 Rating: 10 out of 10
I first watched this on skyone as a series and wasnt sure what to make of it when i saw it advertised. But when I did watch it I must say I was blown away. The story follows Kate Morozov (Mira Sorvino) trying to bring down a human sex trafficking operation led by Sergei Karpovich (Robert Carlyle). It also follows several lives of women of all ages who get kidnapped and are put through these disturbing events. There are brilliant performances done by both Mira Sorvino and the always brilliant Donald Sutherland who potrays kates boss Customs Agent Bil Meehan. There is only one let down but its not a major one, i just think that Robert Carlyle could of worked better on his accecent as it did not convince.
Overall this is a surperb piece of story telling, an excellent drama. There was that let down of Robert Carlyle accent but its not bad enough to nock it down to 4 stars as he still delivers. Its definitly a must see, just make sure you have tissues ready as it does get really upseting at some points.
