An ex-boxer (real life boxer Kali Reis) deliberately enters the world of sex trafficking in order to find her younger sister.
You won't even want to munch on your popcorn watching this, it's that good. The acting is great, and it's wonderful to see a story about native Indians being portrayed by them.
It's stark and bleak- filmed in the dead of winter in a northeast city, (Buffalo) yet the cold of the land matches the cold of the heartless men who treat trafficking woman as simply a business- capture them, drug them, photograph them, "advertise" them and sell them. Next.
On a "social message" side, in these current times of seeing the nation focus on one female white girl go missing, this movie discloses how hundreds of indigenous girls have gone missing to which our nation shrugs. It may not change the world,, but it can help enlighten it.

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.

I was engaged the entire time. This film does a great job setting up the characters and story knowing that anyone wanting to watch this would be an independent thinker. The atmosphere is stark and bleak and exactly what it should be when dealing with this kind of subject matter. The movie was made this way intentionally and is its greatest strength. The violence is abrupt, the twists were clever enough and the ending was as realistic, in terms of how things would actually happen if anyone tried to be a vigilante. The only problems I had were that the main character, although did well in her acting debut, was very wooden when she had to deliver some of her dialogue. I also found that Kevin Dunn was under utilized and there could have been a bit more action. This felt like Winter's Bone but obviously missing the star power.

"Catch the Fair One" has a similar plot as other films about the search for a loved one who is kidnapped to be a sex slave. But there is a big difference in this one, a case linked to the disappearance of a native indigenous girl and its environment. As the police don't investigate the case, her old sister, a boxer infiltrates the world of girls' kidnapping and prostitution. Kali Reis as the boxer Kaylee is impressive, she personifies her character with such magnificence and emotion that it feels like we are watching not fiction but a documentary. There are some issues with the scripts but overall, director Josef Kubota Wladyka managed to capture and convey the feeling of helplessness that native people still experience and suffer today.
My friends serching the fleemarket for low budget movies en core, a subnoxious, hide and seek thriller hovering over the topic of the american human meat market, or human trafficking said in a more civilized manner.
A little slow at first, but as you head on into the arachnoidic meshwork of the criminal underworld, you will be rewarded for your patience, and a few really good shock jolts youll have too, but the heavy weightest motion of emotions though is revenge, relentless revenge and female human fury at its most shivering and shattering level. There will be blood i heard somebody say, and cheving shaving blades like candy is the smallest challenge for this searching pandora, with a box filled with surprises.
I do love the filmatographic efforts , the glow and sharpedged lightsettings do lead you into the matter.even though there are some sound wrecked moments here and there its a high quality product for such a low budget movie.
Actress in the lead do good, wouldnt like to do the rumba tet a tet with her in the shadows of the dark, great pick and do act very credible. Story and plot has been done similarly in many other flicks but a surprise this was for the grumpy old man. Some gore and raw violence there are so if youre nifty about that then be aware. For the rest of you lot its a recommend.
