Human trafficking is a recurring subject and it deserves to be told and retold however many ways it can. I've watched many of those movies and two stand out for me, Trade, the 2007 brilliant and powerful work by Marco Kreuzpaintner starring Kevin Kline (you need to see it) and Eden, the real story of a survivor like few others. In 2012, Jamie Chung had a supporting role in Premium Rush, which should have helped boost her starring role in this drama directed by Indi writer/producer/director Megan Griffiths.
Chung was as good as can be in the role of Eden (that's the character's name); such type of character is never easy to play and make believable, but I feel she pulled it off. If you can get passed the fact that it is subject that has been exploited, pun intended but not in jest, the story of Eden makes for a good thriller as well as a good drama.
I enjoyed seeing Beau Bridges in a villainous role; he played that part like the pro that he is. You won't see his demise coming the way it does; I'll say no more for I don't wish to spoil one of the good things about the movie, or the plot. I recommend it if you want to see a rising star by the name Jamie Chung.
