It is more than just the talented cast and crew. This film tells the story of how truckers live and the power of their community. It tells the story of how they are helping to protect women young and old. It highlights the trafficking of young girls and what the trucker community can do and is doing help these young souls be saved from nasty humans. Its a beautiful film I would definitely recommend seeing it.

You've seen worse, you've seen better. It was worth watching, I don't think I'd watch it again. Lots of despicable characters and choices, some emotions, a bit of a lackluster script.

Any Movie that brings awareness to the horrible, deplorable actions of trafficking should have many 🌟stars! Im curious why the last few movies on this subject had low ratings on Netflix. Even with an acclaimed movie star this movie only has 29% on Rottton Tomatoe. We should all be asking ourselves, why is that? Exploitation of anyone is awful, but children, babies even are trafficked for profit.

This film start with a woman listening to radio, and a car approaching her truck scene! As turnout, this film is about a sister of a prisoner "Sally" need to saving a teenage girl "Leila" from her kidnapper! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the walking scene, overuse of the searching scene, overuse of the staring scene, overuse of the arguing scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the driving scene, overuse of the talking on the phone scene, overuse of the changing camera angle scene, overuse of the drinking scene, and overuse of the song playing at the background scene! Make the film unwatchable! At the end, after Leila been saved, Leila went away with Sally in the truck! That's it! Wasting time to watch!

IN A NUTSHELL: It's the presence of Morgan Freeman and Juliette Binoche on the movie poster that will pique your interest in this movie. Fans of Frank Grillo will take notice as well when they find out he's in this action thriller. The film was written and directed by Anna Gutto as her debut feature. THINGS I LIKED: We've never seen Juliette Binoche look quite like this before! She's gritty and tough as a big-rig truck driver. As always, she does a fantastic job. Juliette Binoche spends most of the movie in her truck with the young actress Hala Finley, who also performs well. It's rare to see Frank Grillo NOT be in the middle of all the action in a movie like this. There's a sad conversation about why kids who are kidnapped in the sex trade don't try to run away. I've often wondered that myself. Morgan Freeman's salty character gives us an interesting and heartbreaking answer. There is some suspense mixed with heartwarming moments. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: I thought for sure we'd see a beach scene at the end. The title of the movie was an odd choice. The movie doesn't go deep enough. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Profanity and many F-bombs (several spoken by a little girl) Jail scenes We see cigarette burns on a man's hands and tortured bruises on his chest A child is kidnapped Violence with various weapons You see several people get shot and bloodied A girl throws up all over herself We see a young girl in her underwear THEMES: Family Human trafficking Sacrifices Past traumas Abuse Betrayal Trust Loneliness The US prison system Conscience and doing what's right Protecting the innocent Community Friendship You can see the full review on the Movie Review Mom YouTube channel.

What a waste of name talent. Hopefully the young actress will get decent recognition. Poorly written. If they wrote it gor truckers, they will be disappointed. Don't waste your time unless you need something to put you to sleep.
