    Touching story that could easily be true.

    What makes this film mere fiction is the mane convenient places where pieces fall togehter. In reality, there isn't even that much if a happy ending at there is in "Trade", and finding your sister lost in human trafficking would be less than likely.

    If you look beyond that, though, there is a cruel and human story to be found here. Trust and unlikely friendship are thrust together with the rest, linking characters and giving them something in common to keep them fighting for their goals.

    This a very well made drama movie about kidnapped girls/boys in mexico for sex selling/trade around the whole world. Story follows mainly a young girl and her older brother tries to save her.. The story and the acting are in top level along with emotional strong scenes. The movie have a rather good tempo aswell which is nice. In a way true story also because this is what happens in real life,, Overall a must see powerful movie.

    It's a story with good elements or "reality" that need to be told, rolled into tepid story in terms of development. However, this movie is saved by great performances and good visual elements. If it wasn't for that, this would just be exploitation.

    Hard to watch, but it is an eye opener. Don't watch this movie just to entertain yourself, watch it to understand learn, educate yourself about what is going on in the world.

    Absolutely chilling!
    This depicts a realistic crime that occurs throughout the world: human trafficking. This is a story about Jorge and his young sister Adriana (who was taken from the streets of her home community and brought into the world of sex trafficking). Jorge searches for her from Mexico City to New Jersey. Very touching story plot! Kevin Kline, Alicja Bachleda-Curus, and Cesar Ramos Ceballos all give stellar performances.

    very provocative story, touches those sensitive areas, really informative and it tackles issues that we as human beings don't like to accept in this very sad and corrupt world.

    This was a not so grotesque portrayal of the sex trafficing trade. I shut my eyes for some parts, but it had me on edge the whole time. Pretty good

    This was a very disturbing movie about human trafficking. It was horrible to learn that a million people are stolen, bought and sold internationally every year.

    A very disturbing but well done movie. To know there are people out there doing these things is hard to accept. The guy who plays Jorge in the movie does an amazing job, as do the two main actresses.

    Excellent, stunning & sickening look at the human trade/trafficking within our US borders. Movie does a good job of bringing an issue dismissed to the mainstream.

    Props to the director and writers of this film. I know it couldn't have been easy to film because it wasn't very easy to sit through. This film is touching yet very scary. It has made keep a much closer eye on my children. My heart goes out to the many families, women, and children that are forced into the sex trade. Shame on the sick bastards and pedophiles that get off on this....may God strike you down.

    It was a movie based on a very important topic, and while it certainly took that responsibility seriously, I felt it was a little too "clean" compared to what happens in real life. I won't give too much away here, because I did enjoy it, and because it was a good movie and story, I do recommend it. But ultimately, I was hoping for a little bit more.

    7.6/10

    I had never heard of this movie and just stumbled on to it by accident. The story was very powerful and meaningful. The acting was absolutely awesome, especially by the two major stars playing the parts of brother and sister, more of the younger girl, but that is not to take anything away from the part of her brother Jorge. He was outstanding. Also, the part of Veronica was superb. She made her scenes gripping. Especially one, and you'll know which one I mean just by watching the movie. Your jaw will drop just like mine did and it will stay with you even after the movie. This is a must see. It is in subtitle and English, so it it easy to follow. Oh yeah, Kevin Kline was an excellent surprise.

    Tough film to watch but you get drawn into a world your wrost nightmare are made of.
    Kevin Kline on top form and give a career best and with a cast of unknowns all give a ultra realistic performance.
    Worth a look you will be shocked.
