D+
"Trade plays like a slightly more culturally aware episode of Walker, Texas Ranger."  eFilmCritic.com  Brian Orndorf

2/5
"A jarring mess of a movie, one that ends up seeming like no more than a particularly heavy episode of the CBS kidnapping drama Without a Trace."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Barsanti

0/4
"Trade has cojones for trying to lay the kind of political guilt trip it does on us with its sham aesthetics and lurid telenovela-writ-large storyline."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

D+
"Tells the story with gritty realism, but waters it down with laughable melodrama."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

C-
"Seems more exploitation than exploration...ends up not illuminating its subject but cheapening it."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/5
"A scary, poignant, and unforgettable film that elicits our outrage and compassion as it puts faces and feelings on the victims of the international trade in sex slaves."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2/4
"A straightforward and uninspired look at the sex trade."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

"Rarely has a message movie been as noxious ... manages to be not only contrived and culturally offensive, but also exploitative of the illicit practice it theoretically opposes."  Cinematical  Nick Schager

C+
"..an uneven job...that is intermittently shocking and dull."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

2.5/4
"Trade needed to be the United 93 of the human trafficking crisis. It's closer to being the World Trade Center."  Christianity Today  Steven D. Greydanus

2.5/4
"Alternately gripping and frustrating, Trade is a regrettable disappointment."  Reel.com  Timothy Knight

"Cick here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
