    Thanks for confirming he was telling something that wasn’t true.

    And when he found out, he fired the parties responsible. What else should he have done?

    It was just a marketing mistake.

    I 100% did.

    Not even sure what’s got you bent. Movies take stories from real events and embellish them. It’s not a secret to anyone with a brain. That’s all I stated. If you wanted reality you would make a documentary not a movie production with writers and producers. I bet you think reality tv is real don’t ya?

    Jump in to defend the OP’s baseless claim all you want. But I don’t buy anything the forum’s biggest propagandist posts. Always look at it with a critical eye.

    Now up to $39m

    Nice to see a smaller film do well. Studios are too caught up in sequels that no one wants.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of grooming. Pedophiles are well on their way to becoming the new black. Mark my words.

    So again I ask - is it now forbidden to criticise movies - only if they are made by RWNJ of course is the answer

    It’s a fact not an accusation.


    For the month of June, O.U.R. has partnered with American Airlines to share our mission and spread information about human trafficking and exploitation. We are excited to announce that this video will play on all domestic American Airlines flights all month long and encourage viewers to join us in the fight against human trafficking. We are grateful for this collaboration with American Airlines and look forward to the awareness that will come from this campaign.”

    This never happened.

    The biopic of Tim Ballad, a man leaving government work to hunt down child sex-traffickers in Colombia, is getting rave reviews by the public, while being trashed by the liberal media – a dichotomy not entirely lost on some.

    While Rolling Stone magazine, The Washington Post, and The Guardian have denounced "The Sound of Freedom," to varying degrees, as a dog whistle for QAnon conspiracy theorists, it is making noise as a box office smash, raising an estimated $40 million in six days, according to Deadline.

    You do not just have to follow the money either. A lot of awful films make money.

    But the Angel Studios' hit, starring "The Passion of the Christ" actor Jim Caviezel, has received the only A+ on CinemaScoreand a 99% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where the Tomatometer of professional critic reviews rate it only 76% positive...

    …"child sex-trafficking is an objectively heinous, monstrous and evil stain on humanity."

    "Why would you ever, ever, ever downplay it by calling it 'grossly exaggerated'?"

    "Could you imagine an actual survivor of child sex-trafficking reading these words? That goes beyond just cruelty and callousness…


    …Deadline noted Hollywood's forgetting about middle America in its selling of narratives is a big mistake.

    "This is all very reminiscent of 'American Sniper,' but on an indie scale and level," …

    Child sex trafficking is a huge issue. It’s a major problem that needs to be addressed more. This movies success is very important in getting the message out.

    I’m glad that the numbers show continued success for this film. It is drawing attention to a big problem. I’m going later today to add to its success. I’ve spent my entire nearly 38 year career so far working with kids and teens as a group home counselor, behavioral assistant in non public schools for at risk kids and more. In my job the first 33 years before the agency I worked for left my area and me laid off, I got trainings about the child sex trade and what was being done about it then and more importantly how to work with survivor kids in recovery placement. So yes, this issue is a big one to me. I still work with kids now but with ones with different situations and yes being aware of the trade and the risk it can be to any kid anywhere makes the mocking of this as an issue a pathetic outrage.

    It is an accusation which you failed to back up with specifics or evidence

    So it looks to me like the movie got all of the important stuff right and didn't hype up the main character or his accomplishments at all.

    I am an Aussie - we have a special force that retrieve children taken overseas - and it is not just child trafficking but child marriage - which is a major issue as we have a lot of middle eastern communities etc

    99% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes

    Sound of Freedom - Rotten Tomatoes

    I wonder if Rotten Tomatoes will be called 'Qanon adjacent' ...or maybe 'theocratic', since Caviezel is one of the better known outspokenly Christian movie stars and the movie is apparently 'faith based' (not sure what that means exactly... maybe it just doesn't have tits in it?).

    He became one of my favorite actors based solely on Person of Interest before I knew anything about his spirituality, politics, etc. Good show, btw.
