This movie has a specific purpose, which is to cause awareness about human trafficking, and how a lot of teens get brought into it. It is devastating to both the victims and their families. I recommend this movie for teenagers and their parents/guardians to watch together. It could produce a lot of questions, emotions, and conversations that parents should be a part of, if at all possible. It is a "gritty" film, meaning it contains some graffic physical violence, mild language, drug use, and insinuating scenes that would not be appropriate for younger children. The acting was not the best, but still okay. And, if it were up to me, I would have included more closure at the end of the movie. It was left open, and I felt like it needed to show more of the after-math. Perhaps this was intentional, to help spur on more conversation. Or, maybe they plan on making a second movie based around families who are recovering from situations like this.

Having children this age and then watching this movie.I got spooked.Trafficked is what is happening all around us.Stay safe people.

I read many reviews here before actually watching the movie, and do not understand what all the fuss is about. I wish I could have read "deb"s review but it must have been deleted long ago. If I had a teenage daughter or son I would not hesitate to somehow aquaint them with this subject matter, and this film seems like it would be a good start

What do politics have to do with the review of a movie? Some of these comments are so ridiculous. Get a life. Now, about the movie, some of the acting is really weak. It is a very important subject matter though, and the story needs to be told. Parents need to be more aware of who their kids are talking to on the Internet. Dean Cain makes this movie because it is boring at times. But the end was worth it.

Yeah, this 2021 movie titled "Trafficked: A Parent's Worst Nightmare" (aka "A Parent's Worst Nightmare") is a movie that, oddly enough, is based on sex trafficking, which in itself is a terrible topic. And indeed, there have been movies out there that deal with the same issue, but doing so in a much more fulfilling way, in terms of it being a movie that brings entertainment - despite revolving around such atrocious things as sex trafficking. But "A Parent's Worst Nightmare" just didn't have the same impact as some movies of a similar nature. Sure, "A Parent's Worst Nightmare" was watchable, but it wasn't an overly entertaining movie. And the reason for this was partially because of some inferior writing from writers Joel Paul Reisig, George P. Saunders and Scott Voshel. Which is some accomplishment in itself. I mean, three writers not being able to come up with something more worthwhile. But it is also due to some rigid characters and dubious acting performances. The characters portrayed in "A Parent's Worst Nightmare" felt like wooden caricatures that hardly displayed any real or believable emotions or acted as one would think people would act when a family member is abducted and lost for over a month. It just took away so much believability from the movie as a whole. All in all, then director Joel Paul Reisig just didn't bring contents to the screen where it mattered and "A Parent's Worst Nightmare" felt like a rather mundane and unnecessary movie, to be honest. This is not a movie that left a lasting impression with me, and I sat through it to the very end. Nor is it a movie that I will be thinking about, if someone mentions movies about sex trafficking. It just simply fell short of being outstanding or entertaining. This 2021 movie is hardly one that I would recommend you wasting your time, money or effort on. My rating of "A Parent's Worst Nightmare" settles on a three out of ten stars.

I think the overall message was well intentioned just not delivered well due to the bad acting, it left a lot to be desired. The movie is trying to shed light on a problem faced in society and advising parents to be aware of the actions of their kids, even "good" ones. The actors were obviously not A-List so what can you expect. It was slow and boring at times, not a movie i would pay to see. I gave it 3 stars for the message.

Sheds more light on the horrible crime of young girls being taken, used and abused by sexual predators and those animals that abduct and provide them. Good action as well.
