He Exploded
8 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Dennis (Frank Grillo) is in jail where he belongs. He is getting out Thursday. He is being threatened by a gang. To prevent from getting hurt, his truck driver sister Sally (Juliette Binoche) moves items across the state line for the crime organization. It turns out they are making her do one last job. Smuggle a little girl (Hala Finley) for the sex traffickers. Sally doesn't want to do it, but does so for Dennis. At their destination, it seems the little girl doesn't want to go and blows a hole in the man with shotgun kept in the truck. The two go on the run, Sally not knowing what to do. Morgan Freeman is on the case. And then the plot takes more twists.

This was a good drama. Unlike other films done to alert us to sex slave dealing, this one doesn't need to put up the words at the end and beginning to let you know why they made the film. It was made well enough to hit home. I may never go to Mississippi again.

Guide; F-word. No sex or nudity.
