Movie Haiku:Kathryn Bolkovac is a cop in Lincoln, NE with some personal problems so her boss suggests a stint in Bosnia: "You''ll earn 100K in 6 months & have some cushion." This was 1999, way before 9/11, & no one in America realized the hole we were digging for ourselves. Brilliant thriller anchored by a superlative performance focuses on sex-trafficking but has broad profound resonance.
