Slave follows young American couple Georgie and David 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 offering the full VIP treatment. Georgie and David are separated for a brief moment, but in that brief moment their lives are changed forever…
Glossy kidnap drama about a young couple David & Georgie, because Georgie wants to have a little idea what her sons going to turn out like they travel to a fancy Spanish villa to meet David's estranged father Robert. Things don't go to plan as before they get to meet Robert, they're separated while in a local nightclub and Georgie goes missing. After a bit of a struggle David eventually finds out his wife to be along with various other beautiful women are being held on a rich Arabs boat, for his sexual gratification.
Stylish enough movie clearly helped by the fact its filmed in such a gorgeous looking Spanish resort. Sadly though due to pacing problems the film begins to drag midway in, and the twists are ultimately too predictable. The acting for the most part was OK, I especially enjoyed the actor playing the white Arab, also plus points for giving Howard Marks a cameo (during the 80's he was Britain's biggest drug runner, and recently had his own biopic 'Mr Nice') likewise both the direction and cinematography are good. To sum it up Slave's well worth a casual view, if the plot had been tweaked a little in places could of been something really special.
