Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

the_russ_show Nothing much to see. The content itself is good but the sequences and the story in the movie is not awesome. B serie movie. The movie makes you think and realize what going on out there. The message is great and we should have more actions taking like that.

elyacuna I am not judging this movie based on the decision of the plot, how they decided to write the movie, music or sound effects. This movie deserves to be rated on more important aspects. For one, the message that it is trying to convey is POWERFUL. When you meet people with the same kind of testimony and it is made into a movie, you realize that people's lives are not just "cliché", they are real! The topic is something that a lot of the time goes on neglected and least talked about. I am very proud to see that this artist had the courage to make this movie. For being his first, or one of the few he has been a part of, I think he did phenomenally. There is nothing cliché about the movie in my opinion because everything that happened in it is so possible. if people were expecting to see something different and found a lack of things that they are so used to seeing in other movies..well, a reminder is that this movie is faith-based and it was meant to be left free of seeing profanity and nudity and such things as those because they are unnecessary. the most beautiful thing is that they were able to tell a story without them.I get it, in real life most of the time these type of stories do not have a happy ending, but that doesn't make them any less real. I LOVED this movie and I only wished it had been longer!!!

lavatch In the bonus track on the DVD of "Priceless," we learn that a vocal group called King & Country was inspired to make a film that raises consciousness about human trafficking. The vocalist Joel Smallbone played the leading role, and Joel's brother Ben served as director. While there were good intentions, this film product of a family enterprise never quite jelled into smooth work of cinema.Joel Smallbone plays the widower named James, who has recently lost custody of his small daughter. Down on his luck, he takes a risky job in driving a truck non-stop through the American southwest. Once James realizes that he is transporting two young Mexican women, he is very slow to catch on that he is engaging in an act of human trafficking. When he comes to that realization too late, he then spends most of the film in attempting to rescue them.For most of the film, "Priceless" is clearly an action film seeking raise awareness about an important social ill. But in the final segment, the film shifts gears into a Christian-oriented message. The key dramatic symbol is a necklace worn by one of the young Mexican women that is referred to as "God's shot." Holding that necklace, James comes to see that he is awaiting a divinely inspired moment to rescue the two women. The film closes with James now helping to run a Christian "safe house" for female victims of human trafficking.Sadly, the film does not hold together. Still, there were good performances from Smallbone, who was able to drop his Australian accent, and the actor David Koechner, who played the "wise man" Dale, an apostle to the women victims and the teacher of wisdom to James. The truly standout performance is that of Bianca A. Santos, who plays Antonia the older of the two sisters. There is an organic arc of development in Antonia's character, as we see her abused and then transformed from her traumatic experience. For that excellent performance alone, the film lives up to its billing of priceless.

Xlyfindel I had no idea what I was getting into with this movie. Throughout the whole film I kept getting the feeling that it was really trying hard to make the good guy look cool. To make doing the right thing seem like the right thing to do. I really like that. The bad guys weren't overly glorified or vilified either. I don't think they went too far, and it doesn't smack of the in your face over the top cheese-fest that other movies dealing with the subject usually have. I know the story well from made-for-TV movies though never was it so professionally shot or well acted. There are only a few gripes i have about the movie, and they are personal irks that I can understand probably were taken into consideration and decided against by the creators. 1,) I really wish they had used the word RAPE at any point in the film. Everything else was so honest and boldfaced that it seems a shame to try and sugar coat it with euphemisms and allusions. 2,) The end seems really rushed and cut short. There are a lot of questions left unanswered, but I believe it is because they needed to get their message out after the climax instead of a concise denouement. 3,) They could have done a better job with working in the daughter and her relationship and importance to James. As it is it seems a bit contrived and little fake. None of those are great detriments, and the message is important too. The movie was legitimately entertaining and kept my attention from very early on. I'm planning on watching it again with certain friends and recommending it as well. I'm glad I saw it.
