It’s tough to watch, and you will fight the urge to walk out but stick with it. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

This is a genre thriller. That said, it’s an urgent and honest one, and Caviezel gives his most committed performance since “The Passion of the Christ.” Read full review

Jim Caviezel is a one-man scourge of child predators in this well-meaning thriller that doesn’t entirely deserve to be written off as culture-war propaganda. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Wendy Ide

Sep 3, 2023

The picture, by Mexican director Alejandro Monteverde, is an earnest and well-intentioned attempt to engage with a very real and harrowing issue. It’s also a thunderously crass and manipulative movie that is hampered by erratic pacing, pantomime bad guys and an overfondness for shots of Caviezel weeping God-fearing, manly tears.

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Jul 7, 2023

A compelling hot-button subject and engrossing “true story” runs up against a ponderous script, pedestrian direction and the limited range of star Jim Caviezel in Sound of Freedom, a lumbering thriller about international child sex trafficking that flatlines when it’s meant to be moving, uplifting and inspiring.

It’s hard to tell if this movie avoids any conventionally exciting set pieces out of scrupulousness or just lack of inspiration. Oddly, the picture’s muted tone ultimately undercuts its solemn sense of mission. Read full review

Apart from its relentless messaging, the movie is hobbled by a near-total absence of procedural logic. Read full review

I'll begin by saying that I am a conservative Christian who believes the Bible is the Word of God. So, that is the perspective I have in this review.

Onward...

Wow. Such an incredibly well-made and impactful movie. Very hard to watch, but also very necessary, in my opinion. The acting, pacing, music, and cinematography — all excellent. There was some language and immodesty. However, those things never felt out of place. What do I mean by that? I mean that this movie didn't draw attention to those things, they weren't the focus (aside from a brief shot of a photo of a female model in a bikini). By and large, the language and immodesty made sense in context. The bad guys used language, and the bad woman dressed immodestly. There were a few times the good guys used language. But when they did, it generally seemed appropriate for how they used it.

Kudos to Alejandro Monteverde for this stunning accomplishment. And Jim Caviezel showed his mettle in this film. He is an amazingly talented actor, one that is underappreciated (speaking from personal experience).

I will end by parroting what Jim Caviezel said in more than one interview: Watch this movie. If you are willing, able, and mature enough, see this movie. Then tell your friends to watch it.… Expand

Amazing movie, a must see.
It's hilarious seeing people here calling it "conspiracy theory trash" not realizing this is literally a true story, and you can literally watch video of the actual events and arrests. I cant imagine being that dumb lmao

Biggest waste of film making resources in history. Read the facts on a true news outlet and you'll find this is nothing more than right wing propoganda, from the story line to the cast to the director, and on.
