Is Sound of Freedom the Next 'Shot Heard Round the World'?

Much is being said about the newly released movie Sound of Freedom. Here's the trailer, which has now been viewed over 4 million times.

Sound of Freedom, based on the incredible true story, shines a light on even the darkest of places. After rescuing a young boy from ruthless child traffickers, a federal agent learns the boy's sister is still captive and decides to embark on a dangerous mission to save her. With time running out, he quits his job and journeys deep into the Colombian jungle, putting his life on the line to free her from a fate worse than death.

Released on July 4, the movie debuted in third place with revenue of about $20 million and in its second week went to second place behind Mission Impossible with $27 million. The $100 million mark is well within reach.

USA Today says,

"Sound of Freedom" has a 79% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 100% audience score. Audiences gave it an A+ on CinemaScore. In a largely positive review, Variety's Owen Gleiberman wrote, "Let's assume that, like me, you're not a right-wing fundamentalist conspiracy theorist looking for a dark, faith-based suspense film ... you needn't hold extreme beliefs to experience 'Sound of Freedom' as a compelling movie that shines an authentic light on one of the crucial criminal horrors of our time, one that Hollywood has mostly shied away from."

You can always tell when something terrifies the left because the long knives come out — usually for a popular conservative candidate, but in this case, for a movie.

Among the negative reviews, Rolling Stone's Miles Klee labels the film as a "superhero movie for dads with brainworms," and The Guardian's Charles Bramesco accuses it of being "QAnon-adjacent."

As much as I despise the left, their rection to this movie surprises even me.

[MeganC]

One thing I have concluded from the leftist reaction to this film is that we can no longer use THEIR term of ‘human trafficking’ to describe what is truly SLAVERY.

In short, after 160 years the Democrats open border policies support SLAVERY and the SLAVE TRADE....again.

We need to stop using their language to soften the atrocity they support.

[b4me]

Agree with you

Some “slave trade” billboards in cities may open some eyes to truth.

[DeplorablePaul]

Try it in a Small Town seems to have a similar populist nerve. Elitist progressives can feel the tides changing.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

I agree.
Lefties have no moral compunction in TRADING something of value for SEX. It takes the (in)human(ity) out of the equation.

We should take sex out of the whole conversation.
After all, sex is none of anyone else’s business...right?

The term to you, IMO, is Human Slave Trading.

[Candor7]

The righteous have no claim to heroic acknowledgment based upon qualities of human compassion.

The Left detests the family and sees children as objects of sexual gratification, and the exercise of removing a child's innocence is a gleeful occasion to them. All of it titillates these sick people. Theirs is a spiritual sickness.
They are ruled by demons of want , desire and attachment to the pleasures of body.

And so the left establishes the new Sodom and Gomorrah. And it will not end well. I await the vengeance of the righteous and the fire of Divine Providence to cleanse us of their filth.

[dkGba]

They call themselves Minor Attracted Persons now and want us to use that terminology as well to ‘normalize’ the deviant behavior (as they do with every other abomination- change name or definition) 😢😢😢🤮

[Toespi]

A hypothetical. A thirteen year old girl in Alabama is rescued from a sex trafficking ring. She is three months pregnant, impregnated by her captor and seeking an abortion. NOW she becomes a poster child and cause for the left.

[SauronOfMordor]

Don’t be surprised. The elites are frightened by this. You can guess why.

[Aevery_Freeman]

I hope it is the next Uncle Tom's Cabin.

We are more than due for a Civil War.

The commie-pinko-fags's leader would be MAPresident Bribe'em.

[Varda]

American liberals don’t have your values. Abuse, mutilations, and death don’t bother them. There are no “good” democrats.

[Jane Long]

Praying so.

[liberalh8ter]

If one hasn’t already developed a IDGAS attitude, they must. The left accuses the right of everything. Who cares what they say? The only people who agree with their rhetoric are other leftists.

The term to you, IMO, is Human Slave Trading.

was visiting with a buddy who lives in texas last night

based on what he knows, the cartels control who comes across the border and at what price they have to pay the cartels to get it.

eg:
Mexicans - $8,000
Guatemala/Honduras - $12,000
Chinese - $20,000

if they can’t put cash on the barrel, they become indentured servants to the cartels until the debt is paid off through prostitution or drug dealing.

the cartels control the immigrants via threat of death to the family members remaining in their home country.

[Captain Compassion]

These reviewers are moron-adjacent.
