CULT CRITIC : ★ 8.9

The true story of Tim Ballard, a former U.S. government agent who quit his job to save children from global sex traffickers, serves as the basis for the film. In the murky world of children's crime work, a federal agent named Ballard (played by Caviezel) finds himself losing hope. However, when Ballard is able to rescue a seven-year-old kidnapped boy, he quickly realizes what his life's work is all about. Ballard decides to dedicate his life to rescuing children from sex slavery after the young boy asks him to find his sister, who was also kidnapped.

Sound of Freedom is a deeply moving picture that will almost break your heart and give you hope that there are people in the world who are so good and steadfast. By the end of the movie, audiences will be forever changed by the outstanding performances and direction. This is in excess of a film.It reflects both your individuality and society. It prompts us all to consider our identity and future.

However, Jim Caviezel's genius was exposed to the public in a film that featured numerous outstanding performances. Without a doubt, Jesus has a unique spot set at his Sublime table for men like Tim Ballard, and in Sound of Freedom, Jim Caviezel shows us precisely why. Given that Caviezel was only a man, his portrayal of Christ's otherworldly love in The Passion of the Christ was certainly only a small portion of it. Nevertheless, it was sufficient to transport the audience to the side of our Lord and Savior 2,000 years ago. In a complex performance deserving of every accolade, he expertly demonstrates Ballard's haunting sincerity and righteously obsessive drive in Sound of Freedom.

It goes without saying that no film is perfect, and Sound of Freedom is no exception. The last few minutes of the first act have minor issues with the pacing, and the cinematography, while generally excellent, is utilitarian when something slightly more dramatic would serve the story better. Last but not least, there is a brief scene in the remote jungles of South America in which Caviezel's Ballard texts with his wife on what looks like a typical cell phone. It's a minor quibble, but it was a brief distraction in a movie that was otherwise laser-focused.
