Traffik may be well intentioned in its
message, but it is contradictorily sordid in its approach. While the film may
be book-ended with reminders of the ugly truth about sex trafficking in the United States,
most of the content in the film is far more interested in ridiculous B-film
thrills than an accurate depiction of the social issue of choice. Even more
disconcerting in a film about the buying and selling of women is the blatant
objectification of the female form along the way. There is nothing wrong with a
little eroticism, but steamy sex scenes and a constantly bra-less heroine just
feels tasteless in a movie about sex trafficking.
