It is really a dang shame about this flick - "Worth the Price." It started out with an intriguing premise, a good son (former decorated military) reluctant to play the scion of his dad's business. His dad dies, his younger sister gets kidnapped and for no apparent reason - the son goes completely bonkers. He kidnaps and kills people indiscriminately, becoming judge, jury and executioner. Which wouldn't be so bad actually - especially in the vigilante movie genre. BUT it's just that the son does all this on the flimsiest of evidence, without any investigative research or factual collaboration. It does help that the villain here is an especially nasty type. But these are just some of the glaring potholes.
We're supposed to believe that this multi-millionaire family can't or won't pay for an army of servants, butlers, drivers and especially armed security - guards and security cameras????? And that's why it was so easy for the baddies to walk into the home and kidnap the sister? Somebody give that writer/rewrite man some coffee - please!
The pace is PAINFULLY slow, especially in the first half. Way too many lingering shots that kill way too much time. A lot of the dialogue could have easily cut in half to get the point across, avoiding some repetition. Too much of the movie is shot in darkness, where it is frustratingly hard to figure out what is happening - unforgivable. There's way too much mumbling by some of the actors.
Beyond the glaring weaknesses, the movie as a whole was decent otherwise. The disappointments ruined it and for that we would not recommend a first watch - much less a second.
