Came across this while browsing through Prime movies. Sounded interesting, and the now-known-to-be-inflated rating got my attention. This is based on a true story about as much as Jaws is. Yes, sex trafficking is real, but there is not way the events depicted in this movie occurred as presented. If they did, the victim was so stupid, it's hard to believe she survived into adulthood. And some of the movie is completely lacking in any sense of logic. Why would the woman escape, and rather than running out of the building, go banging on apartment doors, naturally ending up in the apartment that belongs to the man who is holding her captive (oh, and somehow end up fully clothed although she was wearing only a towel prior to the escape)? Why would the boyfriend show up at that particular apartment just at the time she is being held captive there then act like he suspected the guy who answered the door as being the bad guy? Why would the captive let one of her 'customers' put a loose plastic bag over her head, and make no attempt to remove it when she started having trouble breathing, even though her hands were completely free? And I won't even go into the big climactic end, when she had a chance through silly circumstances to kill her captive with the same shot that was supposed to kill her, but didn't do it. Just not a good film. Stupid IMDB ratings...
