"Nothing is More Dangerous Than the Truth" Whistleblower DVD Review

I was trying to think of a movie to watch the other night...
Broxton was playing in his room, Marc was at work and I really just felt like watching a movie.
I then remembered that I had The Whistleblower on DVD for review.

I wasn't really sure if it was something I was going to like or not...
I wasn't familiar with the names in the cast.... but, their tag line "Nothing is more dangerous than the truth" had really grabbed my attention, that was why I wanted to review it....

So, I put it in and was surprised when it was in a foreign country and had subtitles...
I wasn't sure if I was in the mood for that kind of movie...  But, I figured I could at least try....
The next thing you know, it is in the USA for a bit and then they are speaking English... at the UN in Bosnia.
I decided to put the subtitles on (even for the English speaking scenes, as they spoke low at times and with loud toys, I did not want to miss anything.)

The Whistleblower is based on true events..
It is about a female Nebraska cop that goes to work for the UN in Bosnia.  She is there to help as a peacekeeper, but before you know it... she has stumbled upon a MAJOR sex trafficking ring...
I will say, they use the F word about a minute into the movie.... and then they use it all throughout the movie...
So, if you are one that can not handle that language at all, then this is not a movie for you... but, if you can watch through this, then I highly recommend it.  I was sucked in about a minute in trying to figure out what was going to happen... and I was glued to the television throughout the entire thing!  Normally, I will let the movie play when I run to the kitchen for a drink or something (or if Broxton is a bit too quiet) not this time... If I had to move my eyes off the television at all, it was PAUSED until I returned!

Great movie, although very heartbreaking to know that stuff like this really does happen!
