Saw it last night in theatres, encountered no issues with the projector or the AC. Not really sure I agree with the sentiment that the movie is "overtly Christian" outside of the main character's motivation.
I haven't seen it mentioned much anywhere, but when the credits rolled there was a little 2 minute countdown in the corner of the screen to let everyone know there was a special message afterwards from Jim Caviezel thanking people for seeing Sound of Freedom in theaters. They even have a program going on right now where you can buy someone else's ticket to see the movie in theaters (link). I was kinda shocked (pleasantly so) to see that most of the audience in my theater stuck around for the special message at the end, and even applauded after it was over.
Really good movie, can't thank modern media outlets enough for drumming up all this publicity.
When asked by his boss at the Dept. of Homeland Security about why Tim Ballard would go so far out of his way to try and find this kid's missing sister, Tim just responds with "God's children are not for sale". He goes into a little bit more detail about being a father himself, and how he wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he knew one of his kid's beds were empty, which I think is a better explanation for his primary motive in rescuing Miguel's sister.
There was a one-liner that Tim delivers before arresting a pedo where he quotes Matthew 18:6, but that was cool, so I'm fine with it. And the scene where the former cartel guy explains to Ballard why he quit his life of crime to help rescue kids sold into sex trafficking, which was a really well-delivered monologue. It's not entirely unrealistic for a guy to find God after nearly killing himself.
