From my favorite movies..
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
View MoreIt's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
View MoreNothing much to see. The content itself is good but the sequences and the story in the movie is not awesome. B serie movie. The movie makes you think and realize what going on out there. The message is great and we should have more actions taking like that.
View MoreIt should be noted: I'm an atheist and have been for 28 years. I live in the Bible Belt of the United States, and I used to be Southern Baptist. I used to debate all religions (mainly Protestant Christianity) regularly, past 3-4 years, not so much. I have read 14 versions of the Bible. I have read The Book of Mormon. I have read the Qu'ran. I have read the Torah/Tanakh. The Orthodox Jewish Bible. I have read The Masnavi. I have read Jainism by Ram Mohan Das. The only "atheist" book, I guess, I've read is The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine though he was a deist but close enough, eh? The reason I state all this is: human trafficking is done by humans. All types of humans including religious people. Actually, the vast majority of human traffickers in religiously dominated countries would be that particular country's main religion. You see my point? Movies like this address such serious subjects from a blind eye. The main character is apparently an atheist. See, he used to be a good person (Christian) but he lost someone that metaphorically killed him and now he's a bad guy (atheist) but he's trying to find the path back to being good (Christian). Now, you could say I'm reading into this but look at it: he lost the woman he loved: who? Doesn't matter. It's not about that. It's the empty catalyst for him losing his faith. See, Christians only do good things which is ironic since they say they not only sin all the time but that they are sin itself but when it comes to bad things happening, no one ever seems to be a Christian. They're either some other religion (like Muslim, these days) or not a "True Christian" and therefore an atheist. If the majority of your country is of one religion or non-religion then the problem lies to the majority in those countries. If you can't look in the metaphorical mirror and see you (speaking in general) are part of the problem then the problem will never be solved. See, the scene toward the end when David Koechner's character is being tortured and he quotes from the NT, well of course the bad guy won't be swayed because he's an atheist. All bad guys in this film just need to find Jesus and Biblegod then they will stop the evil they're doing.I've never been to prison, or jail. Got arrested when I was 14 for shoplifting while angry. Did my six months of community service. I was an idiot not a bad person. Don't you see, that's this films message: if you're a bad guy (who are all obviously atheist) all you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and then you'll be a good guy. If you're just lost like the main character, don't worry, you'll be forgiven. Oh, and what a message the ending gives. This film does nothing but show that if you just believe in Jesus that that makes you good. I hate to break it to the filmmakers but many bad people are Christian and they believe in Jesus with all their heart and soul and in their mind Jesus will forgive them, as the Bible states in 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness".Stop blaming atheists and non-Christians for the horrible things in the world. Don't get me wrong: they have had their part in some horrible things but if you think you can stop something like human trafficking by preaching the Bible, well, maybe you need to look into that mirror a little harder because there are 2.2 billion Christians in the world who, some of which, have and currently do such horrible things; especially in Christian dominated countries. The United States is dominated by Christians. Own up to the horrible things some Christians do and maybe you can start stopping such horrible things from happening. The two biggest causes of human trafficking is 1. Poverty and 2. Women and children seen as property (like in marriage, or religion, etc.,). Not believing in Jesus I don't think has ever made the list but what do I know, I'm just an evil atheist, right?
View MoreThe only thing Priceless about this movie was my time wasted in watching it. The movie started out OK, as the main character had to deal with his own personal issues. The movie started to fail when the main character made a discovery whereby the obvious was... well, obvious. Unfortunately, at that time in the movie, the focus became more a message about "having faith, and believe". This message kept popping up throughout the movie, yet it often seemed out of context with the issues at hand. I particularly disliked how the movie made it appear that these and the other women (victims) made a choice to be in this situation. This movie failed in a big way in not addressing the severity and tragedy of this issue. The main characters decision were lame when it came how he was going to deal with this problem. This is such a big issue and I would hope any right thinking human being would report to authorities who would actually deal with the problem. Acting was mediocre. Plot was weak. Theme could have been good, but failed in getting the real message out about the issue. I've tried really hard to not make any significant spoilers for this movie, but at this point I just have to say it, so if you've read this review up to this point and still want to see the movie, please don't read the following. Human trafficking is an issue that must be taken seriously. This movie cared more about it's message of "God has a plan" and you're on a journey while God watches over you - is pure BS. The movie is one big fail.
View MorePriceless captures a sad & dark reality of our world in such an inspiring and moving way! This movie allows viewers to recognize the heartbeat of Jesus through the lens of a father with a passionate love for his daughter. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who desires to see beyond themselves to the desperate needs of the world.
