Trafficked: A Parent's Worst Nightmare (2021)
Honest review
Twitter is alive with people promising to destroy this movie simply because two of the actors, Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson are conservatives. While I am a liberal I will not let that skew my review of this move. I do not believe in the cancelling of others simply for their beliefs, I will we could all fee this way.
Is this movie the best? No but it will keep you watching. It is about a young girl abducted and forced into sex slavery. Sadly this is many of the young prostitutes out there so the story needs to be told.
The parents are not getting anywhere with help from the police so they enlist Dean Cain's character to help.
It gives a heart wrenching portrayal of what happens to many girls and hopefully makes a person give pause when thinking about enlisting the services of a prostitutes. What it and check your political beliefs at the door and you will like the film.
Palmer (2021)
Not a movie you will watch more than once.
Pros:
Decent acting
Cons:
Slow moving and predictable.
The movie is about a man released from prison early, convicted of attempted murder among other things. Staying with his relative and a neighbor boy she is watching. The boy is extremely effeminate and while Justin's character at first seems really taken aback by this he quickly grows to encourage and empower the boy. Once this part in the movie comes around you will quickly realize what is going to happen next, there isn't any twist or surprises. At the end you will either love it for the message or just be bored of it. It lacks suspense or action, it is just a really slow movie with not a lot of dialogue.

The movie was a depressing ride but superb acting
While I can't say the movie was my favorite, it did keep you engaged. Robert Pattison impressed me with his acting here. Admittedly I have only seen him in Twilight, not my type of movie and I didn't care for his acting in it. When I heard he was going to be batman I rolled my eyes. Then I saw him here. He proves that he does have acting ability, as a matter of fact he could very well be an actor on his way to hollywood elitism.
He plays a manic criminal in this movie who commits a crime with his mentally disabled brother. His brother is caught and he spends the movie trying to get his brother out.
He played the character perfect. The character is a criminal, not a good man but his love for his brother is genuine and the writing and the acting pulled it off.
Zeroville (2019)
Not worth your time
I admit, I thought I could watch Megan Fox read a dictionary because she is so beautiful, well that might have been more exciting than this. James Franco is out of his element with the acting here, trying to play this moody tragic lead doesn't seem real.
He plays a man who has an unreal fascination with Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift, even getting them tattooed on his head. He gets a job building sets, then moves to editing movies which he has a knack for, ironically this movie was edited horribly.
I know Megan isn't Katherine Hepburn when it comes to acting but she is horrible here, the dialogue isn't doing her any favors either. I have seen her act before where she was much better than this but if she doesn't make better career choices she is going to be headed toward made for TV movies.
The absolute worse in the film is Seth Rogan. Imagine every Seth character, loud boisterous and you have that here, not believable in the part.
I don't know what else to say other than after you're done you will want your time back.

If you need help sleeping this title would be great
Whoever told Sofia and Joe they could act are obviously kidding themselves or outright lying. The movie is about a man who goes to murder for an accidental death. After being paroled he returns to his old neighborhood and the story then falls into a bunch of cliches. To sum this up nothing in this movie is surprising as you can predict everything that will happen from him trying to help the young troubled kid to him getting his shot at redemption himself.
If you are up late at night and can't sleep this movie will be for you. Better than any sleeping pill and guaranteed not addictive.
