Father relentlessly pursues his enslaved daughter in the gritty Old West RELEASED IN 2016 and directed by Timothy Woodward Jr., "Traded" stars Michael Paré as a father ruthlessly pursuing his runaway daughter (Brittany Elizabeth Williams) who has fallen prey to slavers in the prostitution trade. Trace Adkins plays an intimidating saloon owner while Kris Kristofferson is on hand as a bartender seeking redemption from the filth he’s forced to live amidst. Tom Sizemore plays a nasty buyer in the slave-whore business. This is a low-budget Western that has some technical weaknesses, like dubious continuity/editing, but a compelling story, gritty tone, brutal violence and fine locations, costuming & score. If you don’t appreciate dark, violent modern Grade B Westerns like “Hickok” (2017) and “6 Guns” (2010) don’t bother. The plot is obviously a melding of “Hardcore” (1979) and “Taken” (2008) in the Old West, but without the blockbuster resources. There are a lot of UN-pleasant elements as we see what those saloon babes REALLY had to go through in the Old West. There are some unexpected highlights, like Marie Oldenbourg as “Girl” in a meaty subplot, but the way it concludes (the subplot) is a missed opportunity. As dark and brutal as the movie is, there are thankfully brief rays of light, hope, reverence and (hopefully) happiness. THE MOVIE RUNS 1 hour 38 minutes and was shot at Paramount Ranch, Agoura, California and areas nearby. WRITER: Mark Esslinger. GRADE: B-
