everything you have heard about this movie is true.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
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.
If the message you're looking for is that atheists are always bad people and and the only good people are Jesus folk, then, by all means, watch and enjoy! This overly simplified view of humans is demeaning, self-righteous and just not true. The shallowness of the characters in this film belies the screenwriter's overly simplistic view of morality. Humans are complex. Acknowledgement of this would have made for a better film. And a curse word or two and acknowledgment of the rapes occurring would have also helped. I was groaning about half way through realizing that I was being preached such a repugnant and oversimplified message.
Priceless is a film about the redemption of a man named James, whose life spiraled out of control into depression after the death of his wife. As an angry widowed single father with a short fuse, James was incapable of keeping a job for very long let alone taking care of his preteen daughter Emerson. She is taken by the state; his mother-in- law - with whom James has a prickly relationship - is awarded custody.The movie begins with James, a decent man who's lost his faith (as so many do) in the midst of his trials, taking a sketchy job out of desperation for money. A "friend" arranges for James to drive a locked U-haul of unspecified cargo across country without stopping, except for food and gas.After a minor accident on the highway, James hears crying in the back of the truck, which he opens to discover two teenage Hispanic females, whom he later learns speak English. The older one's name is Antonia; Maria is her 16 year old sister. James treats the girls kindly, and even protects them from a redneck in a gas station. Antonia and James have a brief discussion about faith, hers is strong while his has faded. Apparently the sisters' family owes a debt that they'll need to work off as waitresses, at least that's what they were told. However, it soon becomes clear that James, Antonia and Maria are really pawns in a human trafficking scheme. James really wanted to believe otherwise, so desperate to keep a promise to see his daughter, that he delivered the sisters into the hands of the somewhat "charming" though nefarious Garo, and his flunky CJ. Even Antonia seemed unaware of her fate, but is forced to agree to serve Garo's purposes in order to save Maria from also having to become a prostitute.But James's conscience - with some prodding from a local motel owner named Dale - leads him to try to rescue the sisters from their predicament. James discovers that the police aren't necessarily interested in the vice; one is actually complicit as a customer. But he and Dale, who helps James reconnect with his moral anchor in God by reminding him of Antonia's faith at the discovery of her gold cross necklace, fight the good fight and prevail in the end.A restored man, James and his now wife Antonia, are called to serve by rescuing young girls off the streets, from the sex trade to their recovery ranch, where Maria, Emerson and others provide the love and support they need to know how valued they are - priceless, in fact - by God.
After reading so many positive reviews, many a bit too over the top to be honest, however I thought it was worth a shot, no it wasn't. One reviewer called it "amazing". Amazing? Really? No, what it was was slow, and ponderous and B O R I N G. The movie deals with an important subject to be sure, that of sex trafficking, and with a bit of imagination (including a better script and acting), even on a small budget you could do this important subject justice, but not in this case. You never get the feeling of tension, of adrenaline rushing heart pounding fear that our protagonist would expect to feel if he really was put in the situation you see in this movie. I found myself having to force myself to sit through this movie and I don't say that about a lot of movies. If you want to see a REAL heart wrenching movie on this difficult subject, watch Lilya 4-ever. That movie deserves it's high rating, not so Priceless, it should be rated much lower in my opinion.
