    Very very good movie. Based on a true srory and they adapted it to film flawlessly. By far Rachel Weiszs' best part ever. She owned the movie inside and out. Great movie to watch anytime!

    Rachel Weisz plays reluctant crusader, a first-rate one-woman-against -the- system drama, a film benefiting from a grim and ugly reality. Sexual trafficking in a supposedly civilized world and International corruption. A stellar cast, writer/director Larysa Kondracki's puts you in a movie that might be ripped from the headlines. A first-rate thriller even if it is fiction. A must see movie and I give it 4 stars.

    Great movie about a subject not covered much in the media. As usual, Rachel Weisz was superb as was her supporting cast. The movie also shows just how uncaring and lacksadasical about real world problems the UN really is. Four stars. Scott P.
