Eden *** (2012, Jamie Chung, Beau Bridges, Matt O’Leary, Scott Mechlowicz) – Classic Movie Review 3436

Scott Mechlowicz takes another dark turn as Jesse, the boyishly charming bait luring young girls into a sex trafficking ring. Based on a true story, the scary and horrifying crime drama Eden also stars Beau Bridges as Bob Gault and Jamie Chung and is directed by Megan Griffiths, delivering the utmost edgy tension and food for thought.

Jamie Chung plays Eden, a young Korean-American girl, abducted and forced into prostitution by human traffickers, who joins forces with her captors in a desperate bid to survive.

Eden débuted in March 2012 at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas.

Mechlowicz is best known for his lead roles in EuroTrip (2004), Mean Creek (2004), Peaceful Warrior, Gone, Undocumented and Cat Run.
