They show us all these really salacious scenes... With a bunch of bad dialogue.

Featuring a strong lead performance by Erica Ash, Skin in the Game proves an engrossing addition to a sadly burgeoning sub-genre.

There's little development as it puts them (characters) through hell, focusing more on the issue than on the people experiencing it.

B-

Despite all its cinematic faults, I'm willing to give it a pass because it covers an important topic that is not getting enough attention in the mainstream news.

High potential story but screenplay has flaws and gaps - also uses tropes - whirls the directing is a bit flat.

I enjoyed the message of this indie film. Slowly the battle against Human trafficking in the USA has gained traction in the media and this film shows a particular story that is sadly a real threat to many young women.

Wow this was bad - like super bad - Acting bad, screenplay bad, no plot, no character development. The filmmakers clearly did little to no research. Most of the time it feels like a sexexploitation Film that ran out of budget for porn stars. It all so feels like it wants to tackle bigger issues while casing no offence and being a PG-13 film. The reviews here feel a bit paid and bought if you look to more reliable sources. Note: I CAN WRITE better fact! possible even act better!!!

A must see film that deals with a tough subject matter. Cast is great and this indie film deserves to be supported.

This is a must see film that deals with a difficult subject matter ... human trafficking, which is the fastest growing crime in America today. Erica Ash and the entire cast is terrific and we need to support these Indie Films.
