User Reviews

Regardless the movie quality, I recommend all girls should watch the movie

This movie is based on a real case happened in North Cal, which is where I'm currently living. I used to think this kind of criminal - human traffic - would only take place in the area where it's far and less developed. However, this movie made me realize the hidden danger. I became more cautious like double check the front and back door lock every night before going to bed. I also began to avoid going to places in the middle of no where by myself (which I did a lot before).

I think all girls should have this sense in their mind, that the world is not as safe as we though. It's really important to learn to protect ourselves.

Therefore, regardless how good/bad the movie is ( i think it's pretty good), I give it a 10/10 star and recommend every girl to watch it for the lesson it taught us and the public awareness it raises.
