OK, you could say this movie has flaws. I agree with some of the critique, but only in the sense that if it were me in that situation, I would have killed the driver the first chance I got. Survival is a fight and to win, you must do things you normally would never do.
I wanted this movie to end well, but once it was over, I see this was not the point. The point was to illustrate what hundreds if not thousands of women face, either real or the threat. As less likely it is to occur in the US as some other countries, this kind of thing happens and it is allowed to happen, because humans are greedy and many men in power are sick twisted souls.
I like this movie for making me aware, in a darker more definitive way than Liam Neeson's save the unrealistic day in Taken (great action, but would it happen, no). Keep in mind that when a woman is abducted into sexual slavery, she will probably not have a happy ending.
As far as the holes in the film, hey I'm not a critic. The acting was excellent, realistic, gritty. It kept me wanting more, to see what would happen next. It got my heart beating and me begging to see the women survive and kill the driver. This is much more than I could ever hope for in a film.
