Saw the whole movie already when they showed the trailer before we saw A Quite Place. Dreadful.

Caught a matinee of this today.

Very dark storyline. Deals with Sex Trafficking and Murder. You could almost consider this an exploitation flick. Could have been more compelling with a different lead. Patton was just not very good as the lead. She IMO just couldn't sell the more dramatic scenes including the fear and terror of the situation these people were placed in. That kept me from enjoying this more even though it's not a pleasant movie. Laz Alonso's character was such a fucking douchebag. I wanted to punch him so bad.

I saw Patton appear on a morning talk show promoting this. Apparently this was a passion project for her and she's Producer of it.

I'd give this a C+. Something to watch once and that's it.

I was looking for that as well. It's called "Dare You to Love Me" by Joelle James... and seemingly not available anywhere.
