How sad is this?

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Such a good movie. Such a good story about keeping your faith.

I'm sorry, but if you are going to do a film on sex trafficking in an attempt to shed light on this horrible reality then you better do just that. This movie basically shows kidnapping. It doesn't even begin to come close to show the harsh painful reality of sex trafficking unlike movies, "The Chosen Ones," or "Lilya 4 Ever." Then to add insult to injury it starts becoming clear that the real message in the movie is not giving a voice to these victims, but it is a push for Christianity. I watched this on Epix so had I been warned I probably wouldn't have wasted my time.

A good awareness film, but struggled to narrate what it wanted to say in a standard way like any average films does. It was about forced prostitution, especially for poor immigrants. It was the story of Antonia and Maria, the illegal Mexican immigrants, but told from James, a truck driver who recently lost his wife. Now the life worth living is for his daughter who has been taken by the childcare. But one day on his job, while delivering a cargo, he comes to know his commitment is wrong. At first not realising the depth of the issue, later he decides to fight for it, but it was too late, yet he never gives up.Films like 'Taken', 'Trade', 'Eden', all are very similar to this. Each tells undigestable tales, which mostly based on the real like this one. Thematically, this film can be praised, but not all quite well in the screenplay. The first is, it was slightly religiously motivated. Yeah, I like morals from the religious aspect, especially when it is used to fight for good, not to promote the belief. I appreciate, it did not lean on that overall, except the characters designed that way. On the other hand, the performances were not up to laudable, especially the emotions parts lacked the feeling.Since it was not entirely based on the real, but parts of various true events, the screenplay should have filled better with other contents. The opening and the final acts were good, though the middle section lacked the pace and the story event. So now you know what this film is about, and I think it is worth a watch, mainly for the message it carries. Interesting, this film turned into a book, which seems a good idea as it is more like that sort of portrayal than for a cinematic.6/10

After reading so many positive reviews, many a bit too over the top to be honest, however I thought it was worth a shot, no it wasn't. One reviewer called it "amazing". Amazing? Really? No, what it was was slow, and ponderous and B O R I N G. The movie deals with an important subject to be sure, that of sex trafficking, and with a bit of imagination (including a better script and acting), even on a small budget you could do this important subject justice, but not in this case. You never get the feeling of tension, of adrenaline rushing heart pounding fear that our protagonist would expect to feel if he really was put in the situation you see in this movie. I found myself having to force myself to sit through this movie and I don't say that about a lot of movies. If you want to see a REAL heart wrenching movie on this difficult subject, watch Lilya 4-ever. That movie deserves it's high rating, not so Priceless, it should be rated much lower in my opinion.
