Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

James Mottram

This earnest but misjudged thriller is inspired by the true story of Tim Ballard. Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ) plays Ballard, a special agent for Homeland Security Investigations who devotes himself to combating child sex trafficking. When a colleague lights a fire in him about the exploited kids that never get saved, Ballard rescues an abducted Honduran boy and sets out to track down the child's sister. Although a modicum of violence follows as Ballard pursues the girl's captors in the Colombian jungle, director Alejandro Monteverde doesn't stray too far down the Taken path. The film instead wavers towards syrupy melodrama, especially when Ballard calls home to his wife (Mira Sorvino) for comfort. Bill Camp impresses as Ballard's former cartel contact, but Caviezel's teary-eyed performance lacks emotional substance. While Monteverde's intention to shine a light on the horrors of trafficking is laudable, the execution is clumsy.
