Synopsis

Darryn Welch's explosive thriller SLAVE follows young American couple Georgie (Natassia Malthe) and David (Sam Page) as they visit David's father Robert's stunning Spanish villa, hoping to get his blessing on their marriage. The relationship between the father and son is strained at best, not helped by the dark skeletons of Robert's criminal past. When left to their own devices the couple embark on a hedonistic night out, with seedy nightclub owner Marlon (a cameo by 'king of hedonism' Howard Marks) offering the full VIP treatment. Georgie and David are separated for a brief moment, but in that brief moment their lives are changed forever... and David is set on a course to uncover some troubling family truths.

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
videorama-759-859391 Slave is a very morbidly vague movie, and that's what I loved about it, which made it very intriguing, but in the end it's really just a weak film. Some would say trashy film. Two honeymooners travel to Spain, where the father criminal of the groom resides. The first night while living it up in town, the girlfriend disappears. Now begins a frantic search which becomes an obsession to find her. The pacing of mystery here is excellent as we slowly learn she's the first to go missing. She has ended up on a boat, where an guy with a big scary looking beard runs a harem a girls, a sex slavery ring, all it as you will, where he gets em' drugged, and prepped for the clients, one of them we see, is disposed of cheaply. Like I said at the start, this film is morbid, be warned, but it's morbidly intriguing, but b grade fodder too. We do have some beautiful girls and a bit of bare bodied nudity, our lead actress quite gorgeous. Her POV as she weakens from her drugged stupor, as she's goes up deck and meets the other girls is sloppy. The criminal playboy too, proves a shocking revelation near the end of the film where too, the punishing end, on behalf of the boyfriend's fate kind of doesn't make sense, but if you look from the girlfriends point of view, it does. Purely this film is aimed at the undemanding, but too for some, it'll attract the crowd of a higher accepting audience.
culmo80 Watching the first 5 minutes of this movie, you might think it was a dark comedy, but the comedy quickly vanishes and it becomes a predictable movie that then becomes a confused wreck.There is a lot of nudity and a lot of implied sex scenes. There's some blood Some shooting Some cursing Sadly, the plot needed a little help. This had promise, and could have been a good movie, but no...it's notSpoilers:So the main character was born to a boxer and an average woman; we see through flashback that the guy's dad was a womanizer and his parents separated. He wished to be everything his Dad wasn't. Okay, I'll follow with this. Then we learn that the main character has hooked a hottie, who all we know about her is that she is a great girl to take to bed as we see snippets of her and him going at it...nothing more. Nothing about her is ever explained. He does explain that in order to keep her, he proposes to her. One day, she says she wants to know what he will look like when he is old and fat, so he decides to take her to see his Dad in southern Spain. Meanwhile, he loses his job and worries about losing her. So they arrive in Spain and get to hang out at his Dad's house (he is working - which we later see, work is a courier for cocaine dealers). Anyway, they decide to go out one night to a swanky/seedy club where you just know something is going to happen. She throws out that his fiancé is the son of the boxer and this apparently gets them admission and special treatment at the club, including the shady club owner giving them both a pill. Now at this point, what would any normal person do? Take the pill from a guy you know nothing about and only met 2 minutes ago, or would you not take the pill? Sorry, I just lose sympathy for characters when their dumb decision- making process is the root of the entire plot.Anyway, long story short, he loses track of the girl and there's a thin attempt by the plot makers to make it seem like a giant conspiracy - the club owner, people at the club all pretend that they never saw his girl. That plot point disappears quickly though.The guy ambles around southern Spain and just happens to find people who were at the club that night. It just so happens that one of the guys had a sister kidnapped as well.We learn that the kidnapper is the "White Arab," a Russian who converted to Islam to escape an Iraqi prison and now owns a yacht where he has a harem of other kidnapped women who serve as his sex-slaves. I know what you're thinking, "I've seen this movie, except it was called Taken." Well, the main character is hardly a bad-ass. Far from it. When he enlists the help of the guy who had a sister kidnapped, that guy does all the shooting, including taking down the Russian. There's some plot line about his Dad becoming a good man and trying to save the girl but the main character gets confused and ends up beating him up...at this point, you don't care though.
charlytully This tawdry, low-budget version of the Liam Neeson vehicle TAKEN makes the latter movie look like the Cadillac of the almost-deflowered-by-a-sheik genre. One must resist saying SLAVE qualifies as the Yugo in this category, since that would be unfair to Eastern European car makes. Almost every turn in SLAVE's plot is an implausible twist. Most lines of dialog fall flat. If the acting in SLAVE was passable, one could decry this feature as a waste of talent. Fortunately, the cast appears perfectly suitable to the low production values of everything they are given to work with. If I were forced to come up with a few DVD jewel box phrases that might amplify whatever SLAVE's title says to entice potential viewers into renting, I might try "pretentious claptrap" or "unmitigated boredom." There is probably a segment of the movie-watching public to whom these adjectives would sound appealing. My guess is that these masochists vastly outnumber those who would knowingly watch SLAVE if they were given a half-way accurate view of how miserable this feature actually is beforehand.
anxietyresister No reviews for this yet? There must be a lot of lucky people out there, then. I supposes it's up to me to warn them the general public about another straight to DVD piece of crap. *Cracks knuckles* Okay, sounds like a sexy set-up, doesn't it? A guy takes his pretty fiancée to Spain to meet his gangsta father, but before they can see each other she ends up getting drugged and abducted in a seedy night-club. Then, she is spirited away to a yacht belonging to a perverted Muslim (Why is it never a Jew or a Christian?) where they intend to use her as a sex slave. Her distraught beau can't get any assistance from his criminal papa, so he teams up with a hairy trailer trash bloke who's sister was similarly kidnapped by these traffickers, to storm the boat and recover his gal. However, daddy has a change of heart later on, which leads to complications and tragedy..Okay, now let me stop you right there. Now, looking at the description above, you're probably imagining all manner of seedy goings on, ain't ya? Well sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but what perversions occur in this movie are fragmented at best, and are so laughably depicted you're more likely to be in hysterics rather than getting off to them. Yes, the director actually expects us to give a hill o' beans about this stupid thriller plot, which has been done a hundred times before and a hell of a lot better than here. In the sparse 80 minute running time we see plenty of the main character running around like a loon for 90% of the length, then we get the final bloody climax and BANG it's over. I was so engrossed I almost turned over in my sleep.One of these days they'll make an uncompromising dramatic film where they will possibly go all the way in explaining just what WOULD happen to a pretty white girl if she was captured in another country and forced into prostitution. Until then, we'll have to made do with this fantasy version of fat blokes in colourful shirts and impossibly beautiful models where they combine it with a cheap action movie script and end up with.. not much at all. BORING. Oh and next time, get a cast that can act, will you? 2/10
