If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Blistering performances.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is one of the BEST movies I've ever seen. Also, the soundtrack is amazing! This is a MUST SEE movie! The fight against human trafficking must be extremely difficult but definitely worth fighting against! Everyone should seriously watch this!

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.

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.

Beautiful movie, powerful and touching. Very emotive acting, and good story. Well written. One thing that irked me was the background music; I have hyperacusis and the background sounds/music was loud where the speech was very low which meant pain when trying to struggle to hear them talk. However it was far more enjoying because they kept mentioning god. I had no idea it is a 'faith based' movie. Very very annoying! What a monumental shame. Why did they have to ruin a film that could have been such a real winner? As an atheist I was angry at having this thrust upon me. I was abused by the church and frankly this sort of thing offends me. They should leave 'god' out of movies, or at least warn us so we can avoid watching them. Yes issue a 'faith based movie' warning.. please!
