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.
