“Sugarcane” (*1/2 out of four) was a sour suspense psychodrama about a sex-trafficking survivor (Josie Juliette Wert) who tries to race against time to track down a teenage girl (Lacey Katena) to protect her from a sadistic serial killer (Kellan Jackson) who is moving in and attempting to abduct her. Recommended only for those who thought “The Silence Of The Lambs” (or even “Red Dragon”) were overrated as film exploitatively rehashes elements of both but without any of their style or conviction. Watch “Sugarland Express” again instead.
