Sally (Juliette Binoche) is a trucker who is asked to transport a package across state lines. She is very surprised to learn the package is a young girl, Leila (Hala Finely) who is condemned to a sex trafficking ring. Sally is not happy with taking the girl. Later the problem is that Leila kills the man she was supposed to meet and now Sally and Leila need to keep an eye out for the two smugglers Claire (Christine Deidel0 and Terrence (Walker Babington) and let's not forget the FBI led by Sterling (Cameron Monaghan) and Gerrick (Morgan Freeman) who got onto the case due to the murdered man. Sterling likes to think he is in charge and not Gerrick's assistant, but it doesn't work that way as you will see. Sterling likes to call Gerrick an A-Hole.
Sally is also concerned about her brother Dennis (Frank Grillo) who is about to be released from prison and the concern Sally and Frank have is that they need each other since they had non-supportive parents.
The rest of the movie has Sally and Leila keeping ahead of the FBI and the smugglers who still want the girl. And Sally, at times, uses her fellow female truckers to run interference to confuse the FBI who think they have Sally dead to right. To be fair the FBI now just want to make sure the girl is safe.
Notables: Veronica Ferres as Rose, a trucker; Jwaundace Candece as Tesia, a trucker; Jackie Dallas as Deborah, a trucker.
A special shout out goes to Hala Finely who gives a fine performance as Leila the young girl wanted by the Sex traffickers, and who comes of age quickly and learns to trust those who want to keep her safe. She becomes the adult When she helps a drunken Sally escape harm.
This is slow moving but it needed to be. We do get a superficial glimpse into how young girls are treated before being condemned to sex traffickers. Slow moving but riveting because you never know what will happened next. (7/10)
