review by
Mike Haberfelner

Karla (Sarah Alexandra Marks) and Tamsin (Ksenia Islamova), two attractive young women, have nothing more in mind than spending a few relaxing days on an island paradise and get the tan of their lifetime. They're even careful enough to not fall for the first handsome stranger, Jude (Louis James), who invites him to a party - and that was a really clever thing to do, as Jude's part of a white slavery ring run by Andras (Sean Cronin), who's in the process of rounding up ten pretty blondes for a wealthy client. Unfortunately, it wasn't a clever enough thing to do as that evening Jude follows them to their bungalow where he hand his men chlorophorm them and take them captive, to throw them into a cell with eight other girls. Most of the other girls' wills seem already broken, but Karla, a nurse by trade, has a very analytical mind and puts together an escape plan based on the girls' strengths and their guards' (Scott Hillier, Peter Lovstrom) weaknesses, and eventually pulls through with it, too. Unfortunately, most of the girls are either quickly recaptured or end up dead, and ultimately it's only Karla and fellow captive Lucy (Sophie Rankin) who make good their getaway and even manage to take out some of Andras' men. Thing is, there's way too much nurse's blood flowing through Karla's blood to leave the others to their fate, so eventually she and Lucy go back to face seemingly insurmountable odds ...

 

Now ok, this is hardly the first movie about women in sexy outfits falling prey to sex traffickers, in fact this has long become a pulp mainstay - but what makes this film stand out is that it lacks the sensationalism and also the sleaze often associated with films of its ilk, instead takes its story seriously, on one hand by downplaying the sex angle, on the other by focussing on stringent action-heavy storytelling and well-fleshed out characters instead. And a rather first rate cast and a fittingly dynamic directorial effort making perfect use of the film's breathtaking locations sure help to bring all this to life quite beautifully, making this one an exciting watch.
