Full Plot Details

Ray Sheridan is a Texas Ranger working in the insurance fraud division. From a devout Catholic family, seventeen year old Jorge lives in a Mexico City slum neighborhood with his mother and his thirteen year old sister Adriana. To have a better life not only for himself but also his family, Jorge, with two of his friends, has resorted to a "violent" scam to steal money from tourists in the Zocolo, something he hasn't told his mother who would disapprove. Ray and Jorge's very different existences intersect on a chance meeting straddling the border at El Paso/Juarez in dealing with the same issue from two slightly different directions, that issue being sex trafficking. Ray has been using his professional position on a personal mission of locating his illegitimate daughter Carly, who he has never met and who he has just learned was sold by her junkie mother ten years ago, he assuming into the illegal sex trade. With Adriana having gone missing, Jorge eventually learned that the assumption made by his criminal acquaintance Don Victor based on the evidence that Adriana was kidnapped by a Russian led sex trafficking group is true in Jorge having eventually been able to follow the kidnappers' path to Juarez. Adriana is one of four being transported across the border into the US, those four including Veronica, a young Polish woman whose "travel service" back home advised in going through Mexico as an easier entrance into the US where she hoped to eke out a better life eventually to be able to bring her son, Gregor. Veronica has taken it upon herself to be the defiant one to protect the other three, including Adriana. While Ray and Jorge work on two different mentalities - Ray more methodical with Jorge running more on adrenaline - the two have to decide how to approach the issue when they discover that the kidnappers' ultimate destination is New Jersey, where Adriana will be involved in an online auction in the highly lucrative position of the auction as the virgin.

Movie Reviews

USA Today - 8/10 by Claudia PuigTrade unflinchingly sheds light on a heinous crime. Yes, it's tough to sit through. But don't let that keep you away.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by William ArnoldThough it's ostensibly a thriller, Trade constantly works against the conventions of its genre in a rather audacious way -- finding, for instance, surprising moments of humanity in even the most monstrous of its villains.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Owen GleibermanAs a movie, Trade is so-so, but as an exposé of how the new globalized industry of sex trafficking really works, it's a disquieting, eye-opening bulletin.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kevin CrustTrade works fairly well as a thriller ticking down to Adriana's auction. It's less assured when it strains for some buddy picture chemistry between Ramos and Kline. Though both actors are fine, with Ramos' performance being reminiscent of some of Diego Luna's English-language roles, the attempts at humor to ease the tension between Jorge and Ray and some of the speechifying are out of tune with the rest of the film.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisAn eagerly prurient dip into the sex-trafficking trough, Trade teeters between earnest exposé and salacious melodrama. Minus the film’s near-visible weight of conscience, success in the second category would have been virtually guaranteed.
TV Guide Magazine - 6/10 by Maitland McDonaghThe story's incredible coincidences, lazy cynicism and easy ironies recast a real-life horror story as easy-to-dismiss melodrama, complete with sequential "happy" endings.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 6/10 by Steven ReaTrade comes off like TV-movie sensationalism, sidetracked by distracting backstories and hard-to-swallow plot twists.
Miami Herald - 6/10 by Connie OgleTrade's wake-up call needs to be heeded, but its missteps detract from its devastating message.
New York Daily News - 5/10 by Jack MathewsTrade is a pulpy Hollywood-style melodrama disguised as a harrowing message movie about Important Social Issues. It labors under the delusion that it's this year's revelatory, eye-opening Maria Full Of Grace, when it's little more than a B-movie with an overwrought conscience.
New York Post - 5/10 by Kyle SmithBut improbable situations, heavy reliance on coincidence and an improbable climax nearly tip the film into TV-movie territory.
