excellent
I saw this when it appeared on TV and was totally absorbed by it. In fact, I still can remember some parts vividly. It's a excellent, gritty portrayal of how innocent girls become trapped in a sordid and dangerous life as prostitutes. John Simm is one of my favourite actors and has been ever since I saw him in another TV drama set in the Lake District. Now, of course, he's well known for the excellent TV series 'Life on Mars'. Here, he gives another superb performance but the highest accolade must go to the main female lead, Anamaria Marinca, who won an award , I think, for her portrayal of one of the kidnapped sisters. This is no comfortable story. It is upsetting, disturbing and very realistic. You'll remember it long after you've seen it and that, to me, says quality drama.

Was it worth watching?
Well, kind of. Viewers must bear in mind that like many other films there is a great degree of drama and half-truths thrown in, and this has not escaped that. As one critic pointed out earlier, it was political and it needn't have been at all, so please don't go blaming the Americans once again for something they haven't done.
The first two hours were unnecessarily long, the latter third really picked up speed and delivered, thankfully. I skimmed through the first 2 hours and still retained the plot, the characters and the overall direction of the film, so I'd say it was over-long - 2 hours would have done the film justice. Other than that it was OK, but not great in any way whatsoever. -
