A docudrama hero's story that succeeds in showing the audience the hurdles agents face, primarily from US bureaucracy, and the lengths traffickers go thru to deliver just a few children, culminating in the 2 million per year trafficked children. Some light action scenes which are not hair raising or blood pumping, but do draw you in. Acting and script are average quality on face value, seeming a tad dry, but are actually realistic to the emotional and personality impacts the business of the heroes would have on them after years dealing with pedophiles. Weak points: The musical background accompaniment of scenes is too often over amplified, and in particular the directing and editing seem weak points. I believe some lines were rushed as acceptable, but could have been reshot for better delivery. Director was too easily pleased in that regard. The first 30 mins of the movie fealt like a mosaic of too many clips, jumping quickly from one mini scene to another, making the beginning feal haphazard in favor of expedient plot building, but devoid of the actual character building which the audience is actually there for in the first place. Ultimately, you really should go see the movie. I walked out feeling somber about the topic, and our nation needs to feel that way for it to be ended. Right now it's a too easily ignored mention of feigned concern in society, which no one is actually doing anything about at a meaningful level. I hope another, more U.S. centric movie on this topic is produced, to drive it home to Americans that this isn't a foreign issue, as the US is the leading purchaser in the child sex trafficking market.
