Michael Ledo Sophia (Francesca Agostini) hoping to be a film star travels to Rome where she is forced to work for Manol (Michael Madsen) a pimp. She becomes one of Rome's Campfire Girls. The story then turns weird at the end.This is one of the worst films I have seen with Madsen and Trejo. The plot went nowhere. The film is mostly shot at night with Sophia being tested and confronting a number of fetishes. The dialogue wasn't great .Guide: F-bomb, sex, rape, minimum nudity, mostly from the back although I understand there may be versions with more nudity.
alanaronald This film should be trashed, as it's trash.On the pretext of "exposing" human sex trafficking, we are given a blow-by-blow litany of degrading images of sadism. Michael Madsen and Mischa Barton must be either desperate, desensitized and swimming in a spiritless artistic swamp or deranged. Maybe all three.What a terrible reflection on our society that this is portrayed as "entertainment". Shameful.
leonblackwood Review: I thought I would give this movie a chance, because I haven't seen a film with Michael Madsen for ages, and I can totally understand why! I won't blame him for this badly written "straight to DVD" movie, because his weird but wonderful acting skills were OK but it really seemed like everyone wasn't fully committed to the project. Its basically about a woman who goes away with a popular director, leaving her kid behind, to translate for him but the director ends up taking her to a prostitutes den, so she can work for a brutal pimp, played by Michael Madsen. As the director owes Madsen money, she has to work the debt off, against her own will, and she tries to escape but Madsen's henchmen always stop her in her tracks. They then try to use her in a snuff movie but she takes matters into her own hands and tries to escape from the disturbed weirdos. The acting is quite poor from the whole cast and the ending just didn't make any sense, whatsoever. Not that I was bothered! Madsen has really hit rock bottom and I doubt that a good Taratino movie will bring him out of this slump. Disappointing!Round-Up: This movie was directed by David Patricia, 37, whose previous movies, have all been for an Italian audience. I don't really know what the moral of this storyline was, or what point he was trying to get across, so it just seemed like a waste of time, in my opinion. The lady who ended up in those terrible circumstances, just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and the graphic scenes just showed how sick and perverted those individuals were. Anyway, I think you can tell that I didn't really warm to this movie, so it has to get the thumbs down from me.I recommend this movie to people who are into their drama/thrillers starring Danny Trejo, Michael Madsen, Daniel Baldwin and Mischa Barton. 1/10
djohnba The movie overall was interesting enough to watch the entire time. The acting was superb, but the storyline is depressing. This review contains **spoilers. This movie is about sex trafficking and the sexual exploitation of women which is a serious issue that should be addressed in cinematic media. The title captures the essence of the despicable and deplorable outcome of sexual exploitation. The movie provided with a few moments of hope in which the main character seemed to have found someone who was willing to rescue her, but those were just twists in the movie to keep you clinging onto hope.As the movie comes to an end, you may likely become upset, disappointed, or depressed with the climatic ending. I give the movie a 5 because it was entertaining, but left you thinking that the movie was just flat out horrible due to the storyline, but not the acting.
