People have questioned the veracity of SOUND OF FREEDOM, a well-directed yet overlong dramatization of how special agent Tim Ballard rescued children from sex traffickers. Whether it's historically accurate or not, as a movie, it comes off as generic. Not to mention that a lot of lines are cheesy or lame. Jim Caviezel gives it his all, while Mira Sorvino... Ummm... I don't know how to end the sentence. There are plenty of films where the protagonist's wife's role consistly mostly of staying at home and expressing support, whether he's in the same room as her or not. It isn't a good form of characterization, but at least those movies would cut back to what the wife was doing every couple of scenes. Here, the amount of screen time and dialogue given to Katherine Ballard is less than the bare minimum. She could've been played by an unexperienced actress and nothing would've changed.
5/10

Haven't watched it. But "Trade" and "Human Trafficking" (also starring Mira.) were both good.

Jim Caviezel, the actor, and Tim Ballard, the real person that he plays, have revealed themselves to be pretty terrible people, but from everything I've heard the movie itself is serviceable if nothing more. I won't pay for this kind of thing, but if it's streaming free somewhere maybe I'd give it a look.
