Absolutely Brilliant!

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

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!!!!!

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...

not so many happy endings in the real world for starters.the resurgence of human trafficking, ie slavery, is yet another unanticipated consequence of the world wide web.those splashy headlines about the dude that had his face 'unswirled' are just the tiniest minuscule pinpoint tip of the iceberg. just enough to let some complacency slip into the equation.in the mean time like all vices, new players emerge to take the place of those taken out of action by authorities. and why is that? DEMAND. if there wasn't a demand, there would be no economic incentive to create the supply.I saw this miniseries when it was first broadcast. the tension was less 2nd time around on DVD, but still quite watchable. typically in this condensed version, there were points of gross implausibility esp. when the lead character lets the Russian get away onto the train with a great look of sincerity.800,000 per year. 2,000 per day. thats a lot of humans being trafficked. how accurate are those numbers? it could be even worse considering these things have a way of getting streamlined. the ones I hold the most contempt for are the corrupt officials who accept bribes to look the other way and tip off the masterminds when raids are about to happen.follow the money.

In Prague, Czech Republic, the single mother Helena (Isabelle Blais) is seduced by a successful handsome man and travels with him to spend a weekend in Vienna, Austria; in Kiev, Ukraine, the sixteen-year-old Nadia (Laurence Leboeuf) is selected by a model agency and travels to the United States with the other selected candidates; in Manila, Philippines, the twelve-year-old American tourist Annie Gray (Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse) is abducted in front of her parents. In common, the girls become victims of a powerful international network of sex traffickers leaded by the powerful Sergei Karpovich (Robert Carlyle). In New York, after the third death of young Eastern European prostitutes, the obstinate Russian-American NYPD agent Kate Morozov (Mira Sorvino) convinces the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Chief Bill Meehan (Donald Sutherland) to hire her, promising him that she would fight against this type of crime and that he would not regret."Human Trafficking" is the third great movie that I have watched about this sad reality. "Lilja 4-ever" and "Anjos do Sol" are extremely pessimist and realistic, but focused in the life of only one character. "Human Trafficking" gives a big picture how these gangs operate, following the drama of three lead characters. Mira Sorvino is wonderful, as usual, and her final speech about this profitable slavery of the Twentieth-First Century and the sexual tourism is very realistic and touching. The direction is excellent, the screenplay is very well written and the whole cast deserves to be congratulated for their magnificent performances. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): "Tráfico Humano" ("Human Traficking")
