Girls - straight to you Rhyls on YouTube is a terrible force. Sometimes a single snippet can get so hooked that you’ll want to watch a movie in the hope that at least a piece of it will be as fascinating as a piece of the movie in a small clip. Alas, this story is not about "Beyond Neon."
I was caught in a fragment from the beginning, where the main character - prankster Joey - with his team "removes" the girl for a social experiment. And now, literally the next second after the ripples, in the movie begins complete nonsense. The guy somehow considers himself a savior, offers some help to a girl who is in business and with all his appearance shows that she is satisfied with what she does. The point in the previous sentence is not about business in general - escort or sex for money - but that the girl literally says that she does not need help. Joey’s attempts to help someone in VEGASE, a city that is built on making money from various types of illegal services, are extremely naive. Where call cards are handed out on the street, the casino is absolutely legal to cheat people, and substances are sold at the end of each avenue, like coffee from “Pyaterochka”. That is, the scenario of naivety is close to the school study of fairy tales with a hypertrophic division of the world into good and evil.
How did it all get filmed? We are talking about another pseudo-documentary, but it is difficult for me to understand why everything is shot so strangely – with a constantly shaking camera, some interruptions, as if the final material that is shown to the viewer was not edited. Here everything is as it is, eat, do not mess up. About what “hundreds of thousands of views” (yes, the main character, whose name in principle only needs to be remembered, the rest is just his team, really operates with such numbers – that is, the rest of the pranks of the megapopular boy-blogger and such did not have) in such shooting conditions we are talking – I absolutely do not understand. If you watch the pranks of the same Sobolev or his American colleagues, there is no film crew in the bushes, they are filmed on a static camera so that people watching them under their favorite “Rollton” do not turn their gut inside out. With the camera work dealt with, with the acting everything is generally tolerable, and VGIK I did not finish to notice very small details – played no worse than other actors in similar mocumentaries. I liked the blonde girl, Latvian actress Marisa Dzintars, Joey himself, played by a guy without a profile on IMDB, is also not bad.
What you can advise this film for is the courage of the theme that rises in the tape. In timekeeping inserted a passage that is completely real. It’s about the moment with Destiny House, a haven for ex-body dealers who did it under duress and managed to escape the yoke of their vile pimps. The stories told by the girls are authentic, and the girls who tell them are really ex-call girls. And in general, the topic deserves attention, because we are talking about slavery in the 21st century – while in America the questions of how to humiliate white people and promote the next agenda are in full swing, in some cities the 17th century is simply flourishing, and no one wants to do anything about it. If you had to change the form of the application...

Once to look, just for the sake of honest cadres of girls and to support the subject, and to expand the horizon, of course.
