Don't listen to the negative reviews

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It seems a comedy, very predictable, with erratic situations, outside the logic or continuity of what happened, sometimes slow and repetitive. Of course, if one evaluates the fact of being social complaint content and that the young actors were film novices, one comes to "value" these elements, but as a movie, film, without prejudices, I did not like it. It's not all bad, it's letting it go, as they say, but it's not the level that appears evaluated in IMDb

While watching the movie Trade I found that the characters really mixed together like Jorge and Ray when they had a common goal even though Jorge (cesar Ramos) didn't know what ray (kevin Kline) was looking for until later on in in the story but throughout the movie the emotions of love like Jorge showed for his sister when he start looking for her and the bond of friendship Jorge and ray found after they figured out there coming interests as the movie progresses the pieces fall into play for Jorge to find his sister but the hit a few problems along the way the horrific topic this movie shows about how women and children are abducted and treated is a really eye opener for the real world problem with sex trafficking and slavery that is spread through the black market most people do not see this part of like it is overlooked but this movie shows the reality of the problem that slavery has not yet ended but in the movie it doesn't seem like the government is doing anything about it which is the same in our world today the trade is a very serious thing but the world doesn't want anything to do with it because the fact it makes to much money but this movie shows this idea in different aspects of what happens to the girls but this movie with all the problems it shows of the really world it will keep you watching until the credits come on

Trade reviewA Movie That Shows Worldwide ProblemsI thought the movie was good, because a girl gets trafficked and her brother goes out to save her. The acting in the movie was decent because in a scene where Veronica (Alicja Bachleda-Curus) is raped, she didn't struggle as much as someone would in real life. Also in real life, when Jorge (Cesar Ramos) told Ray (Kevin Kline) that his sister had been sold, I don't think that he would help him. Ray told Jorge that he was taking him back and in real life they police would take him back. The police wouldn't care about his sister who had been sold. Also in a scene when they are in the town and the men take Adriana, (Paulina Gaitan) and Veronica, people would have noticed because in the movie nobody notices anything. Overall the movie was good. Even though it didn't have any big actors in the movie besides Kevin Kline, the other actors showed some good acting skills.The directors took their time to find them. Like any other movie, it has its flaws like when Adriana and Veronica escape they didn't do a job because they get recaptured. Also when Jorge finds them and they stop and see's Manuelo ( Marco Perez) taking pictures of his sister Adriana Jorge could have stopped Manuelo and help the people that were captured. But the movie also shows that human trafficking is a big problem in real life and it's all over the world.Spoiler alert

The Truth of TradeBy: Hayli Marie VaughnThis is not a uplifting movie. Trade made me realize how awful and cruel this world really is. I never thought sex trafficking actually happened but after watching this movie it has shown me just how easy it really is. Trade really spoke to me. In many ways did I find this movie realistic. Adriana's (Paulina Gaitan) mother told her not to ride the bike because it was too dangerous, and her being a teenager she did it anyway. I had a gut feeling something bad would happen. Jorge (Cesar Ramos) is a big brother who is hanging around the wrong group of kids. Veronica (Alicja Bachleda-Curus) is a mom who wanted to make money for her son and ended up getting kidnapped. This broke my heart because all she wanted to do is support her family. Ray is a policeman that has been looking for his daughter whom he thinks got sold into sex trafficking. Adriana is a young teenage girl who gets taken into this cruel environment. Luckily she meets Veronica and she makes her happy. Veronica is like a big sister to Adriana in this time. Veronica is always looking out for her and calming her down. This to me made me feel good on the inside because even though Veronica was in a tough time she was still looking out for someone other than herself.All Jorge wants to do is get his sister back and Ray helps him do so. After a lot of searching and following Jorge found his sister and Ray 'bought' her. This was an uplifting time in the movie because i was so scared that some random would buy her instead.I've never actually thought sex trade was something that actually happened often so this movie to me was a real eye opener. Although there is a lot of rape, molestation, and abuse in this movie it truly is a movie teenagers should watch.
