Just opened Prime and found the title streaming since last month.
99% AUDIENCE SCORE @ Rotten tomatoes
Apparently Disney banned this one so keen to check it out.

to take these sort of accusations seriously anymore with hard evidence.
Freudian slip?
Great movie.
Came for the comments to see the likes of the outpour of rage last time this was mentioned with pay it forward movie tickets.
To be fair the pif tickets were a legit bargain. This is a troll post. A free movie on a streaming service isn't a bargain.
Catholics preaching to us about sexual abuse lol
Don't throw stones in glass houses.
damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Did you know Muslims abuse kids too, and so do other religions…
They groom little boy "dancers" for their clerics in Pakistan…
I've come across statistics that indicate more child abuse occurs at home and at school. The incidence among priests is comparable to that in other professions. Additionally, we possess more data on Catholics compared to some other groups.
To be fair, they implement measures to minimize such occurrences as much as possible and condemn any abuses.
It is valid to offer fair criticism when incidents occur or when attempts are made to cover them up. Overall, I believe that some individuals tend to exaggerate, while others simply perpetuate the narrative.
wakie: sexual abuse is so bad!
anyone trys to stop/ bring attention to the issue…
wakie: I wouldn't go that far…
Sound of freedom. Should be about all the children Biden released from American prisons after Trump left office.
That was the real sound of freedom. Not this q-@non crap

yeah Ive seen the biden memes he is definitely creepy. or are all those meme biden videos ai generated..
Some videos of him are bad, and he is often extremely incoherent. At times, I question if they are edited to portray him in a certain way. Surely, he can't be that bad? However, I believe most of them are authentic, as I don't usually see individuals on the left trying to debunk them.
I think this rotten tomatoes review sums up the controversy nicely:
"Its about time somebody tells the truth about whats going on right in front of our noses! Our politicians, the elites, Oprah, Obama, Hillary Clinton, all the Democrats everybody in the White House. Theyre all pedophiles"
Might be an ok movie but it was an anchor for the cookers to justify all their other beliefs
I'm just Michael Jackson enjoying the comments, eating some popcorn
disappointed I read this far and nobody actually explains what sound the sound of freedom is.
Movie based on true story that exposes the global child trafficking racket. It’s hard hitting and pulls no punches. Sound of mind are moved and horrified by the events depicted.
Groomers want to bury it as it draws attention to them.
You forgot to add that it was part funded by a convicted child abuser. So groomers are more likely to fund movies like this just like they get jobs in the church. Hide in plain sight
Convicted child abuser? Sounds like typical character smearing by those threatened. But I’ll take a legitimate source if you can show it.
The movie itself does not promote child abuse, it is the complete opposite. And is an inspiration to those that may not be aware of the situation.
@Moventura: “Fabian Marta, one of 6,678 P & A investors in the distribution of Sound of Freedom, has been revealed as a groomer and sex trafficker.”
One random out of thousands of crowd funders is a sicko means the movie is discredited?
What are your motivations bro? 🤔
@muzzakus: You are saying all people that are going off about it are groomers, I'm just showing the flipside and you immediately try to discredit it because "thousands of people funded it". So the one doesn't matter. What are your motivations bro? Are you anti groomer or does a single one not matter?
@Moventura: In order to claim that groomers are "more likely" to fund movies like this you need to compare the rate of groomers funding it to the rate of groomers in society in general.
@muzzakus: So you call people who criticise it "groomers" but when an accusation is made in the exact same vein against one of the people involved in it it becomes "typical character smearing"?
@RolandWaites: Disingenuous and transparent attack and a beyond hilarious reach. As logical as finding a pedo in a neighbourhood then smearing the entire neighbourhood as a pedo hive.
Anybody trying to hush speech against the well being of children is suspicious and has an agenda. I stand by my convictions and feel sick to the stomach seeing it. Disgusting.

But that's exactly what you've done. You've accused a significant portion of people criticising the film of being groomers. Don't you see the irony?

And you've done it here again. Sure, some people might - realistically they're probably a tiny, tiny minority. A lot of critics know the background to the film, who produced it, their motivations and what shady associations they have. They think it's not very good for those reasons. There are plenty of films about human trafficking that I'm sure nearly all of them - and I'm talking 99%+ here - don't have any major issues with. SoF just wasn't and isn't transparent, and became a vehicle for political expression more than it was ever a vehicle for warnings about international trafficking rings.
@RolandWaites: No, you’ve missed half the conversation; with a smear against the film being a random groomer, one in many thousands, involved in financing the film means therefore the film is not to be watched. That screams of exactly what I’m talking about - ulterior motive, grasping at straws at all costs.
It’s also possible you’re deliberately twisting it because you too are keen on keeping it hush hush 🤔. Why?

You've done it again! Anybody critical of this film, despite, as mentioned, its many known flaws and clear political motivations, is worthy of being considered a possible paedophile. You do realise smearing anybody you come up against with this sort of lazy attack isn't helping anybody, right?
As an addendum I'll point out: Oftentimes people vehemently accusing others of doing something seen by groups as being immoral or things that are fundamentally illegal (being gay, being a cheat, or a paedophile) are guilty of that very thing they accuse others of. Perhaps we should be hovering the microscope over you, don't you think?
@RolandWaites: What political motivations are these?
Have you even seen it? Because politics are not part of the movie.
Not bassed on a true it's mostly all made up. It's a movie for dumb people that think its 'exposing' something 😂 meanwhile the guy it's based on that made it all up is being sued for literally exposing himself to women 😂
Groomers like Paul Hutchinson who was banned from missions for getting too sexy with the kiddies overseas?

Smart move by Amazon. Get some money from subs for those same people that are stupid enough to pay Elon for a blue tick. Not only that, they will probably buy a sub for a friend too
The same people that also donate money to a billionaire (Trump)
So many strawman arguments in these comments….
Watched the movie on Prime Video over a week ago.. Don't know why this is suddenly posted now on ozb.
It was in the first sentence
Is getting brainwashed a bargain now?
I don't know mate, why don't you tell us?
Disney didn't ban it. They acquired a middling low budget bio pic as part of their purchase with Fox and saw no need in it.
The film makers bought it back, marketed it to the Q-Anon crowd, and made $100M.
qanon bullshit
Out of curiosity did you watch it or read the wikipedia breakdown or reviews?
Legitimate question by the way.
Wonder if Matt Gaetz watched this…
Shhhhh, they don't like actual examples of sex-traffickers, only imaginary ones so they can virtue-signal about protecting the children.
"Sound of Freedom is a 2023 American Christian thriller film[5] directed and co-written by Alejandro Monteverde"
What the heck is a "Christian Thriller Film"?
I'm picturing a who-done-it where a team roided up priests go around beating up drunks in an effort to find the missing chalice wine.
Great movie, and I paid for it.
There isn't much point in getting into the politics of it on a bargain forum (though it's a not-insignificant point), but the fundamental warning for anybody considering watching is this:
It's just not very good. It's a bland, unoriginal, rambling and tawdry thriller. Its 99% rating is a score manipulated by people trying to make a buck out of it and to push a political agenda. Go ahead and watch, but you'll probably wish you could have your 2 hours and 11 minutes back.
Well said - my thoughts exactly!
It's important to remember that this is a movie, not a documentary. Tim Ballard, the inspiration for this movie was investigated for sexual misconduct while leading anti-sex-trafficking organization Operation Underground Railroad, and producer Paul Hutchinson felt the breasts of an underage sex-trafficking victim.
Perverts don’t want people to see this movie.
Perverts literally made this movie.
Perverts made the movie dude.
This is not what OzBargain is about… Why don't we have post about the 1000s of other things going on prime video all the time?
We literally do have posts about new releases coming to streaming all the time. You must be new here.
Your account is 2 years older than mine, must have that I missed all of these trashy posts. How is this a bargain? It's a streaming service that you pay for and has shit to stream. I don't understand.
To be fair prime video was a good deal considering originally people were buying prime for the free delivery from amazon and the whole streaming service was just an added bonus. That said ive complained about these sorts of posts in the past (as have many others) but they just made it allowed and gave a method to filter them out.
Whelp, looks like you got your wish… it seems the easy post upvote whoring is strong on this. There have been heaps of posts for movies coming to Amazon prime… this is now going to be the norm so chuds can upvote farm on low effort posts. This 100% just needs to be a forum post… maybe even a “what new movies are coming to Amazon Prime” mega thread…
Won't somebody please think of the children!!!
Child traffickers and their sympathisers around the world hate this movie. Unfortunately they are amongst us.
If I hate the taken movies does that mean Im a sex trafficker/sympathiser too? Or is it just specifically this film 😂
Depends if you don’t like the movie as entertainment or don’t like the underlying message. Which one is it for you?
The being message Sex trafficking is bad ? I'm pretty everyone already agrees on that 😂
Disney gotta protect their pedo mates!
Pedos made the movie dude. Tim Ballard is literally under police investigation for grooming women.
Does being under investigation for grooming women make someone a pedophile?
Apparently if they work for Disney they do according to you nuts 😂
A horrible thing by a horrible person (if true) but where do you get pedo out of that?
Bizarre.
Where do you get pedo out of Disney?
@ubcool: I know Disney executives openly admitted to pushing a gay agenda. But are you probably referring to something else?
Like Paul Hutchinson?
wtf… I watched the entire movie twice and I didn't see a single drag queen?
8 pedophile apologists have voted this down
this is like a game of social deduction like amongus but for grown ups. amogus is sus!! who is the imposter? voting started. proceeding in.. ejected!!
The cops should run a sting when it comes to discussions on this movie. How many could be put away, and children spared.
Propaganda is not a bargain
How come this is a deal?
thanx
lol we’re becoming more American everyday aren’t we? Can’t get away from American culture war BS. Anyway, the guy that financed this movie has been arrested for child trafficking, the “clairvoyant” has denied any part and a bunch of other dudes have been bust on child sex crimes. America lol
As others have said, it's an absurdly inaccurate film which distracts from the real sources of child trafficking, peddled by Qanon fruit loops, and reportedly produced by a man who abused a trafficking victim while apparently on an operation.
Remember the days when people could watch and enjoy something purely based on its entertainment value.
Ah yes the good old days.
That said I enjoyed the film, I couldn't care less if it was true, false or if Hitler himself played the role of the protagonist.
Too many cookers are hanging off this film for it to be 100% credible. The whole "pay it forward" scheme to boost ticket sales was a fraud as well.

You haven't looked into it at all and yet your first instinct is to protect a paedo because it lines up with your culture wars.
Yeah, cool. Dunno about that but you do you.
