MOVIE REVIEW

As an atheist and moderate liberal, I largely discounted Sound of Freedom during its theatrical release, even as it went on to become one of the top earning domestic releases of the year. Rejected out of hand by many mainstream critics (and moviegoers) for being an independently produced, alt-right-targeted and faith-based jerk off of [now disgraced] Mormon hero Tim Ballard with ties to the silly QAnon conspiracy, the reality is that Sound of Freedom is an entertaining, easy to watch thriller with clear good guys and bad guys, subject matter that most everyone can agree on is a terrible thing (child trafficking), and a solid performance by poor Jim Caviezel. It’s far from great, but shouldn’t be discredited for what it is. Full movie review »
