As a general rule, true stories in film are not for me. 'Sound of Freedom' was very much the exception. The fact that this is a true story is devastating in its own right, but it doesn't change the fact that it is an incredible film.
The problem a lot of modern films have is that they forget that they need to give audiences a reason to root for their protagonists. That was never an issue here. I needed the good guys to win in this movie and I was fully invested every time there was danger apparent. This movie has some incredibly tense scenes to sit through.
There's no doubt this is a heavy film and for that reason it may not be for everyone. If you think you're game though, this is a highly rewarding experience. 9/10.
