Review of Sound of Freedom (2023) by Paychick — 31 Jul 2023

Good but not great. The first half is better than the second when it devolves into a pretty generic action flick. You knew exactly how it was going to end and that took all the emotional punch out of the movie (for me anyway - however there were lot of tears from my row).

I also take issue with the "special message" at the end - not to educate yourself and others but to buy movie tickets so others can see it. Why? I've seen the same subject matter handled better in other movies and TV shows.

And the controversy comes from the personal politics of the lead actor and from Tim Ballard himself - not with the movie. Do yourself a favour: look it up and you'll see who they are both affiliated with (if not officially, at least on the fringes of).

THAT'S why Disney wouldn't release it and why they sold it off.
