Trade is a film everyone should see. Unfortunately, the Internet has made it easier for sleazeballs to market young Mexican girls to perverts.There's really not much to say about the acting in this film. Kevin Kline's performance was lean and economical--his role wasn't overwritten, which helped to keep the focus on the film's sad premise.
The film's plot revolves around a young streetsmart Mexican punk and his younger--13 year old--sister. Russian slave-traders abduct the 13 year old girl and process her and others out of Mexico and into the U.S. Meanwhile, the girl's older brother persuades an American tourist--insurance man--to help him find his little sister. It's here that the movie threatens to lose focus by staging political--and cliche--verbal exchanges between Kline and the Mexican punk. Thankfully, though, these exhanges were brief and interrupted by scenes involving the trafficked women and their sadistic keepers. Like livestock, the women are packed and shipped in trucks, held in dungeons, and shepherded across hot acrid terrain. Prospective buyers molest the stolen women who are dazed and numbed by all the drugs their keepers feed them.
As a film, Trade doesn't break any new ground; however, the film's subject is potent enough that there's no need to do anything to distract from its main focus.
