I watch a lot of movies based on murders, and other crimes. But I rarely see a movie, filmed in a gritty Jersey neighborhood, only about 20 miles from where I grew up, in Jersey. It was interesting, yet unnerving, at the same time. I'm not a city boy, but a suburban, woods and mountains and nice homes, kind of guy, unlike Monte Bezell, the lead actor. Frankly, Jersey City, where this movie was filmed, has to be the worst hell hole, in the worst, most corrupt state (and my home state), in the country. If it fell into the sea, tomorrow, I wouldn't miss it--and I'm a Jersey boy, myself! That being said, once I realized where this movie was taking place, then I could understand, why it seemed a little unreal: because it was too familiar, and too close to home. And, it started off slow, and was difficult to put all the pieces of this mystery, together--at first. However, as it got going, I began to understand the plot more, especially as it got closer, to the end. Monte, I don't think that you would ever make a good cop, but you didn't have much trouble portraying a beat up, and alcoholic, private detective, that's for sure. So, the overall action, was a little slow, and unwieldy, in the beginning--but the pace picked up, quite a bit, nearing the end. Yes, the hookah guy was good, but so was the ptsd destroyed veteran, that Jimmie interviewed. And the ending was just amazing; totally mind-blowing, in fact! And yeah, Jersey City DA would wanna press charges against Jimmie, for losing it, at the end, and pumping Amir full of lead, after what Amir had done--and all the dead kids they'd dug up...But what was really startling was how Khalid's family had hired him, to find their poor, missing teen, only to find out what that teen was doing--and why! I don't want to give away too much of the plot, here, but it was startling to realize how far someone will go, to achieve justice. And, of course, our government, like every other country, also has blood on it's hands, as pointed out in this movie, as well. Didn't we also help Osama Bin Laden, in the beginning, when he was fighting the Russians? And look how well that turned out, too. Despite the unsettling nature of where this movie was made, and what it is about, it is nonetheless a very worthwhile movie to watch--for adults only. I rate it 8 out of 10.

This story is an important one & one where we can all agree must be told. I can see where the writers are bringing about an awareness for those who suffer at the hands of others.

I watched this movie because the trailer caught my interest a little, but I should have realized by the lame fight sequences and nobody actors that it is a waste of time. It's definitely not an action movie, and the writing sucks. Steer clear.

This film held my interest from the beginning and never slowed down. A compelling story, well crafted plot, and a great job of editing. The actors gave some great performances, particularly Monte Bezell as Jimmy Baz, and Julián Juaqin as Alves.

I watched Respite and wish I could have that 90 minutes of my life back. I have no idea what the "filmmakers" were thinking. Respite tells a tale of childhood abduction and prostitution in the Middle East, which could have been an intriguing subject except for the lurid way the producers approached it, using cliched characters and cheesy dialogue. The ending is heavy-handed and the acting is amateur, the whole thing is painful to watch. I gave it 2 stars for a couple of reasons (for example the actor who played Alves was interesting and occasionally the Jimmy Baz character showed depth) but otherwise this is a cheap and unintelligent movie that does not have actors strong enough to save it.

I watched for 10 painful minutes, bored to death, gave up on the movie.

I'm not usually into action and crime dramas but I really liked Respite. The acting is great and the story line pulls you in. There are so many movies to watch while lockdown restrictions are still in effect and If you're looking for something néw and riveting to watch, I highly recommend this one.

I did not enjoy 'Respite'. First of all the dialogue was trite; the characters in no way communicate as normal people would. It's very stilted, formal and over dramatic. Second, the viewer comes away with no understanding of the abusers' internal rationale for their actions beyond the prurient, so the film offers no illumination or human insight on the issue it's attempting to address. Finally, the acting varied widely from a few decent performances to outright BAD-the ending scene is basically comical. In short, it's a film best forgotten.

It is very nice movie. I saw with my family all loves it. My friends also like movie. There were many intelligent shots where it appeared that some common sense bits were not captured but after the scene you realize that it was actually captured in a subtle way, hence common sense a natural execution. Every Cast role is wonderful and pure natural acting. Background music is simple but nice 👍 Jimmy Baz Acting is awesome love you.
