Priceless

This movie is a gripping, moving, and powerful revelation into the dark world of human trafficking. Many negative reviews were watching this for entertainment but this movie was filmed as almost a story telling documentary. Too many people live in a fantasy world and don't want to face the harsh reality that lay just beneath our everyday life. This story is a wake-up call and should be absorbed as such.

Joel portrays James, a man at the end of his rope who finds purpose in helping those trapped in this terrible world. His evolution and triumph in the face of adversity should be a lesson to all. Thank you Small bone family for such an amazing film. God Bless

Excellent job by the Smallbone brothers! This is not Hollywood blockbuster production by any means, but it sends a message, and it does it well. It's a very inspiring, moving, and powerful low budget indie film that delivered more than I expected. If you have not seen this, you need to! It's a well deserved 8/10 from me!

In a time when all we think 'Is the price of the ticket worth the entertainment factor', sometimes the price of a ticket can invoke the thoughts, 'There's more to life than being entertained with a bucket of popcorn'. This is one of those movies that compelled us to make active choices to address the movie theme with our resources. For this, the movie's value far exceeds the price to watch the movie and I strongly feel that it needs to be watched.

Priceless reminded me of the film Courageous that appeared free in theatres, sponsored by religious groups I think. Priceless centers around human trafficking of women sold into the sex trade, treated like they are worthless. But as the film so eloquently describes, each one of these women is priceless.

The Smallbone family directs and stars in this low-budget film and delivers a high-value film. James (Joel smallbone) is down and out, having lost basically everything. He gets a chance to make some quick money by driving a cargo truck with no questions asked. He eventually learns his cargo is human, and then he's faced with the choice of saving himself, walking away, saving these young women. At times, you wish he'd just walk away, the odds being so stacked against him.

He meets up with a mysterious hotel owner who befriends him and eventually gives him positive guidance about what doing the right thing really means.

The acting is a bit uneven but decent. The story has some moments that are kind of slow. And of course, you eventually get hit over the head with the religious overtones of this kind of movie. Still, the main theme of being a good person, of doing the right thing when push comes to shove, should resonate with you as a human being.

Priceless is uplifting, if not perfect. It's an enjoyable film worth your time. Enjoy.

First off, good movie! I was engaged, as well as impressed. I had pretty low expectations honestly, and it surpassed those.

This movie is, in my opinion, a first for Christian movies. It seeks to cover a subject that's actually important in our non-Christian world today, and does a quite commendable job at doing so.

It had its issues story-wise, but I can't complain. The acting was decent, the actual subject matter was well covered (I mean, come on---it's a family-oriented-ish Christian movie! Didn't expect them to go that deep!), and it wasn't boring. Props to the Smallbone Brothers for going where no Christian filmmaker dare go...until now.
