THE MINI-SERIES — 3.75/5


Plot Synopsis: Hundreds of thousands of young women have vanished from their everyday lives – by violence into a hellish existence of brutality and prostitution. Former NYPD Detective and new Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Kate Morozov (MIRA SORVINO) knows the horror of sexual exploitation first-hand and is dedicated to dismantling the networks and bringing the kingpins, including Sergei (ROBERT CARLYLE), to justice.

Quick Hit Review: This 2005 mini-series is finely acted by Mira Sorvino and the lesser known actors, as well as Donald Sutherland in his smaller part, and is well written even if the production values aren’t always the best and editing, mainly the commercial breaks, seemed off. Even so, this is well worth the 3 hours of your time.

 

SPECIAL FEATURES — 0/5


No features were included, not even the making-of featurette from the Echo Bridge release. Although, there is a Digital Copy redemption code.

 

VIDEO – 3.5/5, AUDIO – 3.0/5


Human Trafficking is presented in its originally televised 16×9 enhanced 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and given a standard but satisfying enough Dolby Digital 5.1 track, outputting good dialogue levels and some okay surrounds.

OVERALL – 3.0/5


Overall, Human Trafficking, a 2005 mini-series, is finely acted by Mira Sorvino and some of the lesser known cast and is an effective emotional journey into a world rarely spoken about. The DVD release from Mill Creek offers okay video/audio transfers but sadly no bonus features.
