  Mind numbingly soberering. as a father of two young daughters this is my worst nightmare. The fact that the movie is based on what happens every day is a chilling reminder of how far we have yet to go as a society.

  The less you know about this film, the more it hits you like a hammer. It follows a desperate Mexican boy who's adorable sister has been kidnapped into the USA, presumably as sex slave. After teaming up with cop Ray his chances get better, but it's still a hopeless race against time. The outstanding acting, cinematography and overall atmosphere of the film make for a highly uncomfortable feeling, intentionally so, of course. You can't help but hope for everything to turn out at least okay, but every set back makes you less optimistic about it. Thankfully, the film never gets preachy or dramatic just for drama's sake. For the longest time it's even painfully realistic, even if one of the later twists may be a tad too much. Still, this is gloomy, enthralling and disenchanting look on sex trafficking that should leave no one untouched.

  Awesome movie about Child abduction and sexual slave trade that goes on throughout the world. This is about a 13 year old Mexican Girl who is abducted and what her 16 year old brother does to save her. Very enjoyable and eye opener. 5 stars

• Thomas J

  
  Great movie showing the darkness people are capable of doing to others. Very well acted and a sweet story of a brother doing all he can to help his sister with the help of a stranger. Tough to watch a few scenes, but it brings the necessary emotions.

  More or less (okay, a bit less) at par with Taken. If you aren't taken by Taken as yet, you might want to trade for a copy of Trade. Not a must watch, though.

• Gordon A

  
  Grim if now somewhat over familiar people trafficking 'issue' drama. Predictable plot is jolted with one fine scene on a cliff top. Kevin Kline is passable. A noble cause to highlight but not terribly entertaining.

  Great film that takes you inside a world where young women are kidnapped and sold for sex. It focuses on a brother and sister in Mexico; it's the young girls 13th birthday and her older brother gives her a bicycle as a gift. As the young girl takes it out for a ride one morning she is kidnapped and her brother goes out to find her. Along the way he meets Kevin Kline and they, together go on a journey to bring her back home. It's sad to know that this happens everyday, but still good to watch.

• Brian D

  
  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.

• William G

  
  Better than most message movies, though flawed in its big brother subplot.

  Trade was a brutal movie, with good and strong performances about a delicate matter, the sex traffic of children and teens across the world, in this movie it was in Mexico.I found the movie brutal due to the rape scenes, the kidnappers forced the girls to drugs and abuse them sexually and emotionally as well. Kevin Kline had a great role, and the other actors and actresses all did a fine job of making the movie feel real.But I had to say the story had some strange twists and a forced happy ending. That had ruin the whole suspense for me.

  This was like Taken pretty much only a little more real in that the main character didn't barge into a room full of a hundred armed men and kills all of them with his bare hands without a scratch. It's scary to think that stuff like this happens in real life and makes infuriated all at the same time. For me I just really analyzed the human mind on both sides of victim and the cruel heartless side of people who play a hand in things like this. It's sad to think that of all the years mankind has evolved, a lot of us are still just animals and unfortunately, innocent people suffer for that. I think this movie was quite successful and I don't agree with a lot of the negative press that plagues it. It served it's purpose, I felt a lot of emotion, coming to terms with what great lengths I would go to if a loved one was taken from me. I think this movie is worth a check out if you're looking for something a little more serious.

  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.

  Entertaining and very interesting story. The boy was annoying though and his acting was pretty bad but other than that it was a decent movie.
