Trader is a fascinating, minimalistic film that brings the audience into a world of chance, rigged games, and the ever present drive to come out on top. It is a surprisingly tense film that hooks its audience via the inherent mystery of its main character, and leads us on a wild journey where though we have absolutely no idea what’s coming, we’re pretty certain that it will end in a trainwreck for someone.
The film (written and directed by Corey Stanton) opens in a dingy, barely furnished apartment. We see a woman (Kimberly-Sue Murray) on a headset, a laptop open in front of her. She has just begun a call with an elderly gentleman. She said that she is from a credit agency and was calling because they noticed a few strange charges pop up on his credit card. Would he be willing to confirm his credit card number for her?...

We learn very little about Kimberly-Sue Murray’s character during Trader. She likes telling herself that she is a free woman, thinking of herself as more than just a number. Every now and again she looks at the barcode tattooed on her arm. In different conversations, she implies different things about its origins. She tells one man that she used to be a sex worker. Perhaps it’s true, but we have no more reason to believe it than anything else she says. It is notable, however, that trading has something in common with sex work – the people who are good at them have a talent for telling people what they want to hear.
The trader demonstrates this talent in the very first scene of Corey Stanton’s taut little thriller, when she demonstrates that she’s a liar and that she has no concern for other people’s well-being,...

"Don't buy the hype. Start the fire yourself, and you'll never get burned." XYZ Films is releasing this indie one-woman thriller on VOD later this week - catch the trailer for a sneak peek. Trader is a tiny little film from a Canadian filmmaker named Corey Stanton. It premiered at the Hamilton Film Festival last year, and it also stopped by Panic Fest in the US earlier this spring. The tense new female-led thriller film Trader is "exciting and filled to the brim with jaw-dropping surprises." When a manipulative sociopath discovers her passion for stock market trading, she sets out to conquer the financial world, all from the confines of her basement apartment. It's another of these shot-at-home films, made on a tiny budget featuring one powerful lead performance from only one actress – Kimberly-Sue Murray. (Anyone else in it is only heard through audio.) "Breathtaking, fast-paced thrills, reminiscent of the Safdie brothers.
