part infomercial, part public - service announcement, “trade of innocents” carries such a suffocating human - rights burden that it never had much chance of becoming an actual movie. yes, child trafficking is horrific; but embedding your raise - the - alarm mission in a film this inept runs the risk of arousing more amusement than activism .

trade of innocents: a global perspective on human trafficking

incredible .
the christian filmmaker explained that
trade of innocents
depicts the various aspects of child trafficking from
the mother that sacrifices one child to the sex trade in order to provide financially for the rest of the family; to the cop who turns a blind eye; to the brothel owner who uses a perverted twisted sense of family to control his girls; to finally, the main characters who show that the people who do human trafficking investigations and rescues have real problems and challenges in their own lives .
by the time trade of innocents reaches its not - so - suspenseful climax, audience members may well have tuned out of the action. it’s safe to say, though, that more than a few will be motivated to get involved in efforts to combat the problem, which is really the film’s primary raison d’etre anyway .

it’s a sad cinematic rule of thumb that the nobler its subject matter, the less successful a film is likely to be. such is sadly again the case with trade of innocents, which deals with the vitally important issue of combating child sex trafficking. supremely well intentioned, this impassioned effort written and directed by christopher bessette is ultimately a by - the - numbers thriller that hammers home its social message all too bluntly .
creakily filmed and woodenly acted, “trade of innocents” is an agenda - driven drama (ms. sorvino serves as a united nations good - will ambassador for combating human trafficking) that spells everything out in flowery, moralistic speeches. mr. bessette can hardly be faulted for his intentions, but his vision might have been clearer had he stepped down from his soapbox .
alex (dermot mulroney), a human trafficking investigator, plays the role of her next customer as he negotiates with the pimp for the use of the child. claire (mira sorvino), alex' s wife, is caught up in the flow of her new life in southeast asia and her role as a volunteer in an aftercare shelter for rescued girls where lives of local neighborhood girl' s freedoms and dignity are threatened. parallel story lines intertwine and unfold twists against the backdrop of the dangerous human trafficking world, in a story of struggle, life, hope and redemption in the
trade of innocents .
alas, a laudable social agenda isn’t enough. the movie screams of a low budget and pedestrian vision: portentous cutaways to the villainous pimp and his repulsive clients, soaring music for the hero and his wife, heart - tugging close - ups of the sad - eyed victims. even the oscar - winning sorvino can’t save lines like “i want us to be a family. ” 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. ”
the road to cinematic mediocrity is often paved with good intentions, and certainly few fiction films can boast as impeccable human - rights credentials as “trade of innocents, ” a child - sex - trade drama whose star, mira sorvino, serves as a united nations goodwill ambassador to combat human trafficking. unfortunately, with its unconvincing action, preachy script and flat performances, the pic winds up less moving than most typical journeyman documentaries on the subject. nevertheless, name players will make it a natural for educational and advocacy venues after its oct. 5 limited theatrical kickoff at gotham’s quad cinema .
