8/10
That's how you do a GOOD movie
10 July 2023
I can honestly say that I haven't heard of this movie right until it overtook a box office fiasco of Indy 5. This is when I decided to spend some time actually watching it.

This movie shook me to the very core. The subject of child trafficing is in my opinion one of the more difficult subject to explore, and it was done to perfection (or close to it).

Real emotions embedded into modern reality. Gruesome acts that aren't shown for their shock value, yet heavily implied . Not a feel-good story by any means, nor the over the top, dark reality. The movie manages to navigate this incredibly difficult subject with grace rarely seen these days.

I'm not an acting critic by any means, but I loved the main protagonist. Contrary to awful acting of a main lead in Indy 5 movie with 20 times the budget and incompetent everything (and no, I'm not talking about Harrison Ford).

I really didn't understand why this movie was labeled as action movie. It's more of a thriller/drama type, with very little action.

Obviously it is intended for mature audience and I won't let my kids to watch it just yet, but it's really good for everyone adult enough to explore that topic.
