It could easily be
plucked from the headlines. Dealers in
human flesh who think nothing of abducting just the “right” person for their
“unique characteristics,” which is nothing more than a euphemism for the thugs
who deal in human organs (genetic matches).
Harvest what is needed
and then dispose of the lifeless carcass.
Nothing personal, it is just business.
That’s the premise behind
Korean filmmaker Kim Hong-seon’s Traffickers, which is set to be
released as both DVD and Blu-ray product offerings from Well Go U.S.A. on Dec.
23.
Yeong-gyoo (Lim
Chang-jung — Sex is Zero, Greatest Expectations, Miracle on 1st Street,
etc.) has blood on his hands and seems to be just the right sort of amoral
individual to transport the illicit cargo (and other things).
Through circumstances, he
finds himself in need of the very “items” that he’s been trafficking in and to
make matters worse (for him) he finds himself on the very passenger ship that
has been cleverly disguised as just that, a passenger ship, but is in actually
equipped with a hidden operating room where the organs are harvested (fresh)
from drugged passengers and the bodies are then tossed into the sea.
Chae-hee (Jeong Ji-yoon —
I
Saw the Devil) is the victim, snatched under the very nose of her husband,
Sang-ho (Daniel Choi — High Kick!), who then begins a
frantic search for her as the ship sails towards its destination and Chae-hee
to her fate.
Will he find her in
time? Will Yeong-gyoo have a change of
heart? And who is the mastermind behind
this very clever “meat processing” scheme!?
Traffickers is presented in Korean with English subtitles
