So far the summer’s box-office titans feature wholly predictable stars and titles. There’s Harrison Ford in his final “Indiana Jones” installment, Chris Pratt and the “Guardians of the Galaxy” gang, and Spider-Man swinging across the “Spider-Verse.”
Far less expected is the impressive showing of Jim Caviezel and “Sound of Freedom.” The outside-of-Hollywood entry in the summer sweepstakes about a federal agent tackling child sex trafficking took in $19.7 million last weekend, according to Box Office Mojo.

In Saskatchewan Canada just 10 days ago 2 restaurant owners had a black woman not Canadian held and abused against her will. They were charged with kidnapping sexual assault and trafficking a human person. Tell me this doesn't happen. On our Tans Canada hyway a car was pulled over in Saskatchewan and a teen girl from Ontario was found kidnapped and being trafficked. What a shame in Canada!
A+++++++
God's children are NOT for sale!!!!! Help end SLAVERY!!!

You have every right to watch this movie because it is your right and the subject on trafficking is important.
HOWEVER I WILL NOT BE WATCHING the move 'Sound Of Freedom' because of the lead actor being in Q-ANON. As this has caused our country and is a worldwide problem with their psychological warfare (spiritually as well) and unwanted agenda.
I do understand that Jim Caviezel himself may be a victim to Qanon. And that while I've heard that this has been addressed as Qanon, that this is still a huge suspect. Our country has been gaslighted by Qanon. This has somehow taken hold people from all across the political parties and from non-religious, scientific, religious and spiritual people alike.
Yet thankfully more and more people are recognizing the inaccuracy or the half truths to these conspiracy theories that stem from around 2017 and especially around the 'election of 2020'.
Remember that Aston Kutscher has addressed this topic on Congress floor for over a decade. There has been news stories and movies on trafficking. While I will not be supporting this movie because of the lead actor, that it is a good topic to be addressed on.
It was an amazing movie!!
WHAT CAN I DO⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
I WAS MOVED BY THIS MOVIE AND COMPELLED TO HELP. WHERE DO I BEGIN ⁉️
SOUND OF FREEDOM, GREAT MOVIE! MUST WATCH IN THEATERS
I'm so gonna see this movie in about 4 days when I have the cash.
I am so happy someone finally put the truth out.😇❤️🙏
This is a REAL problem no matter what these people say!
Leftists recently voted against the death penalty for human traffickers
This is really scary, I went to see the movie, they told us they had technical difficulties, to wait 20 minutes. They’re trying to fix the problem… 20 min zurea letter we Can see the movie…weird!! 😢😢😢😢
It's time to wake up, this absurd has gone too far. Powerful movie!
It’s only unlikely to those who are out of touch.
BTW A Dre no chrome – they have VIDEO FOOTAGE OF RESCUING KIDS WHO WERE BEING HARVESTED FOR IT. Yallre nuts.
In Canada the cbc did a hit piece on the movie which basically completely ignored the movies content and instead made fun of the "types of people" who would go watch a film like this.
Thanks USA today for reporting this movie as a HIT 👍
Don’t watch it. Media is telling me not to watch it because it doesn’t support trafficking. MSNBC, NBC, CBS, and others tell me there is no such thing as trafficking, and to think so is a conspiracy only crazy people believe.
Wow. You were fair. I did not expect that.
Tim is a real life hero.
We need more like him
Thank you and can’t wait to watch.
Congratulations on the success
Also just to add. The Yulin dog festival. Over here a lot of people thought this was just made up
Look it up just like the statement of:
Apparently animals that have been brutally tortured to death taste better than those that have been humanely killed for human consumption. Say the people of the economic powerhouse that is China.
The horrific and grossly disturbing image of two dogs being boiled alive is only one of many that have been making the rounds on the internet of late. Another that will never escape my mind is the image of a dog strung up with its front paws pulled apart, open to unspeakable abuse while its young puppies lie at its feet, helpless and no doubt in extreme distress.
People that believe that who knows what else they are capable of.
I think we’ve little idea on what actually goes on because it’s just so unbelievable to us. Just like the torture of dogs that we now know to be 100% true.
But if somethings making money why properly investigate it.
Me for one I am glad a light is being shone on this disgusting practice of human trafficking. The more it’s discussed the better chance something is actually done about it.
"Sound of Freedom" is a masterfully restrained galvanizing call to sober vigilance and resilient hope – by subtlly nuanced slow burning suggestion and tasteful tact in achingly elegant artistry from auteur Alejandro Monteverde.
Obviously the budget, subject matter, time limits and artform milieu of narrative filmmaking dictate a certain streamlining of truth-based incidents when honing reality into a focused forey of fine tuned rhythms representing veracity with versamilitude.
Movies with merit require pointedly paced plot drives with propulsively deliberate momentum – by aptly deft use of sublimely finessed time compression, composit characters, merged moments, and isolated emphases. While in this case also substituting to secure the confidentiality of certain ongoing tactical methods of tradecraft subterfuge, as well as protecting the identities and integrities of actual mission opporators, assets and surviving victims – by hautingly hinting at the harrowing horrors, rather than explicitly exploiting all its dark details for the sheer sensationalism to shock and sear sermons at the indifferent expense of other's turmoil and trauma. Thank God these artist understood their vocation was ultimately grace.
Conversely, Cinema can't be firing on all cylinders if it is expected to just scholarly chronicle every arbitraty tangent, obstructing set back, or superfluous diversion which would persistently occure in simultaneous convolution within the mundaine duldrums of real life in real time.
So yes, it's a work of art. Cinema is sensorial storytelling in visceral visuals. Ideally poetic in tactility but not pedantic in trivialness. It can be a kind of fellowship between audience and orator where the human condition is commiserated, lamented, exhumed, romanticized and mythologized as pertinent in pinned ponderance to reveal indelible truths by its own uniquely equipped capacity to edify the spirit through a structural system of standardized scrutiny and inspiration.
Go bare witness to "Sound of Freedom". It's qualities are well worth testimony.
"Qanon" isn't even a thing, it's just sort of some niche phenomenon that gained mild traction in an inflating press for a few months – where essentially an initiating impetus with the tagline Q anonymously suggested for individuals on some random internet forum to automously research certain curious subjects, which resulted is some rather free-wheeling speculative conclusions that were occasionally intriguing but often not simpatico from person to person in its pursuit. It's not a cult with strict dogmatic tenets as imperatives to gain gatekeeping goals upon those gullible to gaslight – by any means necessary – like another amply sponsored fringe group of groomer goons that immediately come to mind…
Because always remember, you deplorable color-blind limited government meritocracy fascists – "Antifa" is just an idea… that certainly didn't effortlessly organized an armed and activated horde of hiveminded hooligans to wreak heinously unhinged havoc with seemingly sponsored impunity by insolent intimidation and diabolical destruction upon every U.S. metropolitan city for nine pregnant months leading into the only viable birth they'll dare protect – as the most safe and secure electoral display of integrity known throughtout all histories from every iteration of the infinite multiverse (all of whom are coincidentally in a looming doomsday climate crisis where mask maraudering hysteria is the only ethical solution).
Hmm, curious isn't it – who's theorizing wildly speculative projections of dangerously conspired ulterior motives again????
I think the lomotomized left's desperate DEMAND to manifest diversions of impunity to smokescreen accountability from their own heinously exploitative corrupton by manufacturing alledged boogiemen in a definably unified liturgic cult of autonomous individual amature enthusiast investigators whom somehow manage to cohesively threaten to insurrect "democracy" itself by vying to square away proper and efficient function within their Constituational Republic with prioritized vetting of bureaucratic systems and processes — unfortunately still seems to outlandishly overestimate the SUPPLY…
I love the strength of Tim’s wife.
It's a great movie go watch it.
Its about time!
Support this movie!! It is that important!!
A higher power is blessing his work, key element in his success to reach out and reveal the ugly truth the left is being covering up for the longest
Amazing movie, a total eye opener!
