The Sound of Freedom.

Based on a true story, an American law enforcement officer, uncovers a massive paedophile ring operating on the US/Mexico border, that is kidnapping children of both sexes and selling them on in South America.

The film follows the investigation and the efforts to save the children / smash the operation.

It’s not a bad film, but ultimately falls flat, due to there being no conceivable way to show what the children went through, without causing outrage.

The film skirts around the parts that would’ve been horrendous, to watch, which I fully understand, but it affects the storyline and it makes it feel a bit flat.

A worthy effort.

I thought the same. I remember the hoo haa leading up to its release, the way there were rumours it was to be bamned for some.reason.. and it loosley pointing the finger at hollyweird as an example, not that i saw that in the film.

Couldve been so much more, but for the horrific nature of the subject matter.

Its similar in scope to whistleblower released probs 15yrs ago, more centred on a police / security woman played by Rachel Weizs. The subject of people trafficking utterly horrendous it goes on like this, in this day and age. The way she was hung out to dry also. Crazy

An excellent film, in my opinion.

The Sound of Freedom would be better done as a book ( imo ) as they wouldn`t have to sanitise anything and due to the subject matter, it would be up to the reader whether they chose to read it or not.

Possibly the best trilogy of all time ( Aliens let down by number 3, as was Predator )

Probably agree but i guess you wouldnt necessarily get the same pull, outrage as a film. Tho that said they couldve easily done a book, then a film..

Still dont (well i do) underatand how this goes on today tho. Shows how horrible the world is..

Drop.

Was excited for this one but was left disappointed. Plot holes and far fetched.

Watching Batman Begins. Pretty new film, I thought. The kid who plays the young Bruce Wayne is now 32. ffs.

released 2004, so shot 2003. That's 23 years ago somehow.

Somehow that character was supposed to be 8. Clearly should have tweaked the timeline given that he's clearly much older. He was actually 12 and looks it.

They had to stitch it together that Batman somehow impacted Robin and so the baton was passed. It's one of the inefficiencies of the Nolan trilogy and the final scene. Not least Wayne's attitude to amateurs.
