Priceless

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!

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.

It's seems wrong to call a movie that deals about human trafficking awesome but it was. The story was good (I like how it shows that human trafficking is happening not just in other countries and not just to Mexicans but to Americans as well) and it had some humor in it too (you have to have some otherwise your body wouldn't be able to handle the suspense). Joel Smallbone was excellent and I didn't hear any breaks (where the person's accent breaks through the accent they're doing) in his American accent, Bianca A. Santos was excellent as Antonia, Amber Midthunder was so cute as Maria and Sierra Rose Smith was adorable as Emmy Stevens. I can't of any time in the movie where there was bad acting.

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

Naive girls believing that they are going to be working as waitresses to pay off a debt are actually about to become victims of sex trafficking. They are unknowingly being transported by a man going through a difficult time simply trying to earn money. After learning that his cargo happens to be women, he has to ask himself some hard questions.

This was a good film. I would suggest that this film is meant to be used for it educational, ethical and religious points. It was filmed without bad language, explicit sex scenes and little violence. I loved that this had a religious message. It is a reality that many women become victims and lose their self worth in the process. This was a wonderful testament to how precious we are and how even if we are tarnished, we remain priceless in God's eyes and the eyes of those who know His love. I enjoyed it.
