A good awareness film, but struggled to narrate what it wanted to say in a standard way like any average films does. It was about forced prostitution, especially for poor immigrants. It was the story of Antonia and Maria, the illegal Mexican immigrants, but told from James, a truck driver who recently lost his wife. Now the life worth living is for his daughter who has been taken by the childcare. But one day on his job, while delivering a cargo, he comes to know his commitment is wrong. At first not realising the depth of the issue, later he decides to fight for it, but it was too late, yet he never gives up.Films like 'Taken', 'Trade', 'Eden', all are very similar to this. Each tells undigestable tales, which mostly based on the real like this one. Thematically, this film can be praised, but not all quite well in the screenplay. The first is, it was slightly religiously motivated. Yeah, I like morals from the religious aspect, especially when it is used to fight for good, not to promote the belief. I appreciate, it did not lean on that overall, except the characters designed that way. On the other hand, the performances were not up to laudable, especially the emotions parts lacked the feeling.Since it was not entirely based on the real, but parts of various true events, the screenplay should have filled better with other contents. The opening and the final acts were good, though the middle section lacked the pace and the story event. So now you know what this film is about, and I think it is worth a watch, mainly for the message it carries. Interesting, this film turned into a book, which seems a good idea as it is more like that sort of portrayal than for a cinematic.6/10

The only thing Priceless about this movie was my time wasted in watching it. The movie started out OK, as the main character had to deal with his own personal issues. The movie started to fail when the main character made a discovery whereby the obvious was... well, obvious. Unfortunately, at that time in the movie, the focus became more a message about "having faith, and believe". This message kept popping up throughout the movie, yet it often seemed out of context with the issues at hand. I particularly disliked how the movie made it appear that these and the other women (victims) made a choice to be in this situation. This movie failed in a big way in not addressing the severity and tragedy of this issue. The main characters decision were lame when it came how he was going to deal with this problem. This is such a big issue and I would hope any right thinking human being would report to authorities who would actually deal with the problem. Acting was mediocre. Plot was weak. Theme could have been good, but failed in getting the real message out about the issue. I've tried really hard to not make any significant spoilers for this movie, but at this point I just have to say it, so if you've read this review up to this point and still want to see the movie, please don't read the following. Human trafficking is an issue that must be taken seriously. This movie cared more about it's message of "God has a plan" and you're on a journey while God watches over you - is pure BS. The movie is one big fail.

Priceless captures a sad & dark reality of our world in such an inspiring and moving way! This movie allows viewers to recognize the heartbeat of Jesus through the lens of a father with a passionate love for his daughter. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who desires to see beyond themselves to the desperate needs of the world.

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.
