    This thriller about child sex trafficking is well-intentioned but dramatically stilted.

    Aside from an additional 30 minutes or so of plot, Trade of Innocents offers no more than a middling episode of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."

    Not for the first time in films, noble intent is at odds with aesthetics.

  1. Excellent film on a heart breaking subject. Applauding the effort of many caring hearts that came together to make this film possible. Astonished & forever changed...speaking from my middle-class American point-of-view & relative comfort and safety. Highly recommend this film. Expand
