Nice effects though.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

What a shockingly stunning film! It's still going around and around in my head and it's a struggle to know what to write.It's always a shock to discover that films like these are based on real events, I like to think that people are better than that. But it's a well written, superbly acted, thrilling ride that doesn't sugar coat any of the issues. Emma Lung, Veronica Sywak, Saskia Burmeister and Sun Park give emotional, brave performances. Not for the faint-hearted, but so compelling and important. Just don't hold your breath for a happy ending.Full credit to Dee McLachlan for a remarkably real and moving film experience.

This movie, is about the ongoing sex slave trade that is happening in Australia at the moment. It leaves no door barred, and shows the true horror of what happens to these girls once on Australian soil. Filmed in Melbourne, it gives us a good and clear insight on the dark underbelly of the city. Emma Lung, was absolutely brilliant in this movie. As was Sun Park. Veronica Sywak, was pretty good. Saskia Burmeister was completely excellent. This movie was hard going from the beginning and these four actresses filled out the characters' roles more than necessary.That said, the direction, pacing of the film was right in there. I couldn't find a single fault with this movie.

I wasn't even aware of the movie until I saw a review of it on 'At the movies" with Margaret and David. They gave it four stars each so I had to check it out for myself. This movie was a pretty intense movie to watch but was a great movie. I'm not sure if I'm shocked by the movie and its contents but it definitely an eye opener. The movie was really well done. Could have added maybe some more facts about the illegal sex slave industry and statistics also. It seems as though it could be anyone running the show which is a little scary. Not sure why it was only shown at Nova Cinemas but I heard there weren't much support for the movie from lots of people to show it. Recommend to everyone to watch.

The Jammed has created much controversy here in Melbourne, Australia - where it was shot.For some bizarre reason it was rejected by the Melbourne Int'l Film Festival (MIFF) organisers this year - very strange since they brag they promote and support the Australian Film Industry.It has been given a VERY LIMITED cinema release - 10 days in one cinema only.It has not been entered in the 2007 AFI awards (probably because the makers have to pay a $1000 entry fee or because of deadline issues...).Some film critics have labelled it a dog and others are waxing lyrical on it as being the best Australian film of 2007.I saw it today in a sold out session and although sitting in row 2 - i found it to be a very well made and acted film. Not a masterpiece but still worth seeing.Considering I sat through some questionable films at the recent MIFF and sure to sit through a few duds at the AFI festival starting this weekend - I am surprised a film of this quality - and examining a very important topic - has been treated so poorly here in Melbourne.
