Catch the Fair One

Not a very good movie; so many unnecessary moves it was dumb. Actors did alright but the whole point of show was getting trafficked sister back but movie all over place! I liked that a large amount of Native American actors were casted. No way things would go down like they did.

There's a slew of films currently playing about missing/kidnapped children. One wonders what kind of epidemic America has going for it - the prolific guns and the kidnapping of girls. Certainly not good days for the US of A. Anyway - this film is also of the same theme - a fairly straightforward tale of a missing girl and the search for her b y her sister. Unusual is that the main protoganist is a girl and a boxer at that so that takes care of the physical part the role demands. Kali Reis is a stark presence swaggering on screen physically. She is not asked to emote much which suits her just fine. She does a fine job of the action and there is not much more to fill up the movie. It is quite spare on the storytelling bits, just getting right into it with the missing girl. The trail that leads her to the abductors is given a short shrift and shown their hand early on. The rest is a propulsive plot that carries the film forwards as Kali tries to get at the missing girl. While straightforward, worth a dekko.

A good indie film. Once again showing a very ugly side of the USA - sex trafficking. If I had a daughter I'd be frightened to let her out on her own .. up until about 30 years old .. jesus! The film is a story about a native american older sister who goes searching for her younger sibling, who's been kidnapped and sex-trafficked. Ultimately she's unsuccessful. It includes some seriously nasty people and a grim conclusion. :: major spoiler :: she dies (I think) at the end. Her death is not quite confirmed so I suppose she could be saved for a sequel to continue her search. That's unlikely with this type of indie film. It entertained anyway.

Drama/thriller from 2021. It's about a female boxer's struggle to save her brother from trafficking men. The life of the lead role is a mess. It's a great revenge movie. There is no nudity in the movie, but there is a sexual scene.

This film is definitely a step above other familiar themed low budget films. What a pleasant surprise! Love watching acting that feels like you're watching ordinary people living their struggle. This one definitely succeeds at that. Don't overthink and it will pull you in til the end. Definitely worth a one time watch.

Normally a 9 but considering a cheap film has to be a 10. Not really a revenge film more a big sister looking out for a little sister.... I didn't find the pace slow and a good climax and ending. Kali Reis is excellent and uprising she isn't an actor at all. God knows why this film isn't more successful, will definitely see any thing else she's in.

For anything you might have to say badly about this film, the lead Kali Reis was so good! I found there to be some issues with stiffness in the writing and acting, but otherwise the story really touched an important issue and the sincere performance of Kali Reis really made this movie impactful. Because of the subject matter, it can be hard to watch but I give the director credit for the real and gritty tone he used to present this needed story.
