| User ReviewAlfred LThis is the first movie review I have ever submitted although I attend movies on a regular basis. Why now? Because I hope that at least one other individual will choose to see this movie as a result of my effort. This movie is as well done as it can be with the certain limitations on funds. What makes this movie a "must see" is primarily the message but see it and you will be moved by the performance of the actors as well. I can only imagine the gratitude the actors must feel to play a part in such an inspiring message. I personally feel privileged to have had the opportunity to see this movie. As a pure movie, there are areas for moviegoers to suggest improvement as is "always" the case especially with movies that have limited budgets and marketing funds. What sets this movie apart is that while watching the movie, these thoughts pale in comparison to the gripping story that demands emotional responses deep inside even the least sensitive heart. The movie is 1.5 hours long but feels like more. A wonderful experience and well worth the time and effort. Please give it a look. You will be drawn into the story and moved by the message. Is that not the goal of movies in general? I hope you agree. |
| User ReviewKoren LPowerful movie! How often do you get to totally enjoy a thrilling movie and also leave inspired to help make our world a safer and better place!?!? Fascinating storyline! Go see it! |
| User ReviewCynna KThis was a very well developed movie. Human trafficking is real and not just over seas but right in your backyard. We have to cover, train and pray over our children. Be in their business even when they don't want to. When this movie hits in January go see it. #KIRRAPPROVED #CAGEDNOMORE #TRUTH |

| User ReviewRICHARD Rexcellent movie that addresses the human trafficing problem that is everythere. well done movie |
| User ReviewSteven EWe need to end slavery in America. Now, before you tell me I'm over 150 years late in making that statement, let me clarify. I'm talking about human trafficking, which is actually modern-day slavery - and it happens in the United States. It's common to think of human trafficking as a problem in other countries, but Americans are being taken and sold overseas - sometimes by their own families! And this slave trade works in both directions. Some Americans have "purchased" people from other countries to be held against their will and exploited here in the United States. In this country, about half of those enslaved individuals are used for sex. The other half are here as a source of cheap labor - in agriculture, factories, restaurants and hotels. It's a real problem - one that we need to acknowledge, understand and combat. These are the goals of the drama "Caged No More" (PG-13, 1:30). Loretta Divine (from "Death at a Funeral", "Dreamgirls" and "Crash") plays Aggie Prejean, a retired New Orleans nanny whose goddaughter Macy dies in her arms after a drug overdose. Macy's dying words are a cryptic plea for Aggie to save Macy's daughter from their father. Aggie doesn't understand at first, but with the help of her niece, Leona (Debra Wilson), Aggie comes to believe that Macy's husband, Jack (Kevin Sorbo), plans to sell their 14-year-old daughter, Elle (Abigail Duhon) into sex slavery to cover his drug debts. Aggie also learns Jack has a twin brother named Richard DuLonde (also played by Sorbo), who happens to be a wealthy local businessman. Posing as hired help, Aggie sneaks into a charity gala at the home of Richard and his wife, Lottie (Cynthia Gibb), to ask for their help in locating Jack and Elle. The DuLondes are sympathetic and bring their family's considerable talents and resources to bear on the problem. Their son Wil (Alan Powell), a former special forces soldier, uses his contacts, while his best friend, Tyler (Anthony Evans), uses his computer skills to find out that Jack has taken Elle to Greece. The DuLondes send Wil, Tyler and Aggie to Athens, even as Jack's putting Elle through the charade of entering a beauty pageant so he can sell her to a local brothel, run by a cold-hearted madam (Madelon Curtis). As Wil and Aeton (Christos Vasilopoulos), an old friend formerly with the Greek special forces, make a plan to prevent the sale, they're also looking for Elle's older sister, Skye (Cassidy Gifford, from "The Gallows" and "God's Not Dead"), who is apparently not studying at an art school in London, as Aggie had been led to believe. Meanwhile, Aggie and the DuLondes pray that God will save the girls. "Caged No More" is a well-acted and fairly well-directed, but sloppily-written cautionary tale. The experience of Sorbo, Devine and Gifford join nicely with the talents of the newcomers to produce the necessary gravitas. In addition to the performances, the production values are also better than in many Christian films, but director Lisa Arnold falls short in marrying the movie's appropriately serious treatment of the story's subject matter with an equally appropriate grittiness. The film feels sanitized for a church-going audience (think a toned-down version of 2009's "Taken"). Unfortunately, the script gets a bit preachy as it awkwardly uses cameos by Cassidy Gifford's mother, Kathie Lee Gifford, as well as a representative from an anti-trafficking organization, plus Christian singer Natalie Grant and Louisiana Governor and erstwhile presidential candidate Bobby Jindal to educate the audience about the movie's main issue. The dialog also lacks realism and many of the plot points feel contrived, those contrivances explained away (if they're explained away at all) as God's doing. A little more realism in this film would have helped drive its message home, but it still takes its subject seriously enough and weaves a good enough story to make it an important film to see and could even be called entertaining. I give this movie a "B", while also noting that "Caged No More" is meant to be part of a trilogy, with the sequel being set up nicely by this film's ending, which also includes a call to action on this important worldwide problem. |
| User ReviewSean HLoretta Devine better get a Razzie nomination for this one. She was attempting to channel a Cajun accent but couldn't seem to remember which words she was saying which way. This became Dis became This became Dis again. The individual performances in this new Christian film were either aloof like Kevin Sorbo in both of his roles or so far over the top like Devine that one can't help but laugh at how terrible it all is. Only star Alan Powell comes out relatively unscathed with a fairly even performance though even he too played relatively uninterested considering he was tasked with getting his nieces out of sexual slavery. It's too bad too as the film actually goes into some dark territory for a church film. When done right, they can be downright entertaining and very watchable such as God's Not Dead or the Rapture horror film The Remaining. But this is not very good at all. Loretta Devine is Aggie, a former nanny to Macy whose husband Jack (Kevin Sorbo) is off in Greece selling his youngest daughter into sex slavery to pay off some debts that he owes the drug cartels. Macy kills herself and as she lays dying in Aggie's arms makes Aggie promise to rescue the girls. We come to find out that Jack has a twin brother Richard who is a very well off man that Aggie seeks out for help. Richard has an armed forces son Will (Powell) who takes on the mission of rescuing the nieces. Plot wise, the movie is pretty solid. For $40 million dollars this could have been quite a movie. Instead, to cover up not having a budget, it's a lot of exposition through Will's narration and cheap sets and close up scenes. An action flashback to Will's military service shows him crawling in the dirt and little else. Brothels in Greece are poorly lit rooms and hallways with extras strewn about. You work with the budget you have and you give thanks when your core audience's heroes in conservative governor Bobby Jindal, and FOX news anchors Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham are willing to chip in their appearances for free it certainly helps. The one think I did actually like about this film was that Aggie broached the question of why God isn't there all the time. Why should he help these two privileged white girls when the rest of the world is suffering so much. After the film is a confusing message about not letting your kids spend time on social media but if they are then use the hashtag #Cagednomore in that time. It really is too bad that this movie is so bad because the message they are sending is a hopeful one on a serious topic. This Queen is going to hell. A generous 2 out of 5 rainbows. 1 rainbow - How did this get funded? 2 rainbows - You might find something of interest here but unlikely. 3 rainbows - Serves as a useful and entertaining enough distraction as a matinee. 4 rainbows - Stop reading this review and find a theater showing this film now! 5 rainbows - I'll need to find a spot for this in my Top 100 list. Absolutely flawless. |
| User ReviewGrant KBy far, one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Such an important topic. Raising awareness is crucial if we have any hope of ending this prolific practice. But all this movie did, was made a mockery of human trafficking. The acting, directing, fight scenes, lack of genuine emotion, was shameful. How this movie ever made in to a theatre I will never know. I am still shaking my head in disbelief. Not even good enough for a "made for TV movie." Disgraceful. |
| User ReviewSmith TMarred by bad acting and terrible cinematography. "Caged No More" seems more like a "CBS special event", than a movie that actually came out in theaters. |
