Priceless (2016)

That was an excellent one.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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

Decent story that could have been developed and should have been developed in some other way. It's a Christian themed film taking wayward women off the streets and showing them the path to a better life.

The only one good thing about this movie is the idea, but it completely dissolve in poor and amateur realization. Actors miscast, too much music and all over inappropriate palaces, artificial dialogues, rough editing, absolutely no rhythm. It seemed that the author copied too much from the real event and didn't bother to add some dramatic twist to make it more like a movie.

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!
