An ex-boxer (real life boxer Kali Reis) deliberately enters the world of sex trafficking in order to find her younger sister.
You won't even want to munch on your popcorn watching this, it's that good. The acting is great, and it's wonderful to see a story about native Indians being portrayed by them.
It's stark and bleak- filmed in the dead of winter in a northeast city, (Buffalo) yet the cold of the land matches the cold of the heartless men who treat trafficking woman as simply a business- capture them, drug them, photograph them, "advertise" them and sell them. Next.
On a "social message" side, in these current times of seeing the nation focus on one female white girl go missing, this movie discloses how hundreds of indigenous girls have gone missing to which our nation shrugs. It may not change the world,, but it can help enlighten it.

For anything you might have to say badly about this film, the lead Kali Reis was so good! I found there to be some issues with stiffness in the writing and acting, but otherwise the story really touched an important issue and the sincere performance of Kali Reis really made this movie impactful. Because of the subject matter, it can be hard to watch but I give the director credit for the real and gritty tone he used to present this needed story.
My friends serching the fleemarket for low budget movies en core, a subnoxious, hide and seek thriller hovering over the topic of the american human meat market, or human trafficking said in a more civilized manner.
A little slow at first, but as you head on into the arachnoidic meshwork of the criminal underworld, you will be rewarded for your patience, and a few really good shock jolts youll have too, but the heavy weightest motion of emotions though is revenge, relentless revenge and female human fury at its most shivering and shattering level. There will be blood i heard somebody say, and cheving shaving blades like candy is the smallest challenge for this searching pandora, with a box filled with surprises.
I do love the filmatographic efforts , the glow and sharpedged lightsettings do lead you into the matter.even though there are some sound wrecked moments here and there its a high quality product for such a low budget movie.
Actress in the lead do good, wouldnt like to do the rumba tet a tet with her in the shadows of the dark, great pick and do act very credible. Story and plot has been done similarly in many other flicks but a surprise this was for the grumpy old man. Some gore and raw violence there are so if youre nifty about that then be aware. For the rest of you lot its a recommend.

Drama/thriller from 2021. It's about a female boxer's struggle to save her brother from trafficking men. The life of the lead role is a mess.
It's a great revenge movie. There is no nudity in the movie, but there is a sexual scene.

I was engaged the entire time. This film does a great job setting up the characters and story knowing that anyone wanting to watch this would be an independent thinker. The atmosphere is stark and bleak and exactly what it should be when dealing with this kind of subject matter. The movie was made this way intentionally and is its greatest strength. The violence is abrupt, the twists were clever enough and the ending was as realistic, in terms of how things would actually happen if anyone tried to be a vigilante. The only problems I had were that the main character, although did well in her acting debut, was very wooden when she had to deliver some of her dialogue. I also found that Kevin Dunn was under utilized and there could have been a bit more action. This felt like Winter's Bone but obviously missing the star power.
