O preço da liberdade

This movie is about the worst of the worst and once I realized what was going to happen, I couldn't watch it all. I skipped to the end.

The Mexican woman that this movie focuses on believes in God. She was lied to and ends up in the worst nightmare any girl could endure and it is made worse because her younger sister is with her in it. Because this is a faith -based movie, I'm sure that much of the horror is sanitized, but you can't completely sanitize this subject.

There is a faith based message in this movie. At one point, it is stated plainly. It is a message that every person needs to hear, especially teens who every day face an assault on their picture of themselves.

Whether you believe in God at all in any way, the message in this movie is still important because the message is that we all need to fight against Human Trafficking.

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.

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.

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.

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.
