Yeah that scene was bullshit but the rest was awesome. Actually, a lot of the things that happen are a bit "ironic." What are the odds that one of the girls they kidnap is the daughter of an ex super "agent" or whatever.
The action was very gritty and awesome and I loved how he literally killed or beat the shit out of everyone no matter their affiliation. I bet if a little girl walked past him he still would have beat the shit out of her too.
The same odds of any other girl being kidnapped.Originally Posted by Cool Runnings
I thought that the sex trade targets girls from third world countries for the specifc reasons that:
A) They have little to no money and are more likely to be tricked into believing they are going to another country to work at a high-paying job.
B) They are less likely to be missed if they end up missing.
C) In the event that the family of the girl does raise a ruckus, they are likely also low-income and would not have the financial means to maintain a thorough, extensive search for the girl, along with the requisite media exposure, flyers, rewards, etc.
An American girl, in comparison would pose a greater risk, ex-CIA father or otherwise. Also, the brothel scene located at the construction site...come on. Even allowing for a large number of police to be corrupt, there is no way an operation that blatant could last for any length of time. Sex workers are often housed in apartments and offer massage services, etc. out of their living space. It's more discrete, and the pimps keep the girls in the trade by forcing them to pay exorbitant rates on rent, food, etc. Keeping a girl constantly drugged and at a construction site to have sex with countless men is, well....messy and risky on the part of the slave traffickers.
Aside from this, it was an entertaining movie. Although I don't appreciate that they toned down the torture scene. I went into this film expecting to see someone's kneecaps get fucked up.
