After many months of curiosity building up due to the publicity surrounding “Sound of Freedom”, starring Jim Caviezel, I decided to watch this movie focusing on the troubling issue of child trafficking. The truth is that the rumours of the alleged suppression the by so called establishment made it impossible to ignore the existence of this movie, even when one wasn’t inclined to watch it, it was impossible to ignore the internet buzz surrounding it.
And so I did watch “Sound of Freedom”, and the general impression of this movie is that it is a very compelling drama with very graphic insinuations regarding the disgusting trafficking of children that make one feel uncomfortable from the first minutes. The actors are great, although the spotlight I believe is taken by the character of “Vampiro” (Bill Camp) and the two actors portraying the kidnapped brother and sister. The main character is convincing as a hardened veteran as a an officer that will do what is necessary to hunt down pedophiles; however, sometimes this character seems to fall too much one the typical action movie hero type.
It is a good drama that makes one feel the pains suffered that the two kidnapped siblings go through (as well as the other children portrayed), as well as the heavy psichological damage that the main character suffers in dealing with a very dark and disturbing world that his job demands.
Does it live up to the aspirations of its’ creators and main actor to become a tool to end child trafficking? It is a very tall order, but at least the message is carried across very well and affects the spectators. It is impossible to feel neutral while watching it.
