This was an inspirational film.
This was filmed in NYC and Buffalo during summer 2021.
The copyright date is 2022.
Sound of Freedom was released July 4th, 2023.
So only Libtards can claim that stars such as David Morse or John Lithgow were "jumping on the bandwagon" of Angel Studios successes.
This is a true story. No woke, truth and fact is the opposite of woke.
The cast was wonderful - I never thought that any actor was not a good fit for the role they had. The cinematography was crisp and clear, a technical accomplishment. Transitions and editing were also crisp and clear.
There is some Italian, some Latin, and subtitles are provided.
I enjoyed this film.
I have also enjoyed Sound of Freedom immensely, and I also enjoyed The Shift, which were also both from Angel Studios.
This film merely lacked the spectacle of something like Edge of Tomorrow, Free Guy, John Wick, and thus I only gave it 4 stars out of 5. But within it's genre, it excels.

My old man and I are going to watch The Shift soon. Unfortunately, the last two times he's come over were shorter visits than usual and there were more pressing issues to discuss, so we just haven't gotten around to it yet. It is the next movie that we're watching though and he's really been looking forward to seeing it.
Interesting that you would compare it side by side with Edge of Tomorrow, John Wick and Free Guy, even if to say that it lacked the spectacle of these movies...
Is this something of an action movie then? I really haven't heard much about it but the IMDB description wouldn't have made me think it was.

But cringe quote of the day in this movie though....
Quote:
Mayor Gould: It's a shame that you're a woman, mother. You would have made an excellent man.
Cabrini: Oh no, Mr. Mayor, men could never do what we do.
Uggggggh...

Cabrini is not an action flick. As I stated, this is a different genre than those.
FWIW, I did enjoy Catwoman with Halle Berry.
Yes, that line and a few others were cringe-worthy. There is some amount of "re-focusing" of perspective, geared toward women or immigrants. Not sure if this was in script, or in post-production. However, perhaps our experience of woke in the 3 years since filming have left us hyper-sensitive to such focus.
I will point out that the film was directed in 2021 by the same director as Sound of Freedom in 2018.
Cabrini was an actual woman, a historical figure. She was a Nun in The Catholic Church. The Epilogue of the film points out her place in history. Until that point, I was not aware that I have personally seen buildings with her mark upon them, without knowing the origin, or understanding the significance. Most of the males in the film have been lost to history, meaningful only as they approach her orbit.
So, it really is a film about a woman, an extraordinary woman, who accomplished much. This film is not about The Queen of America, nor the Queen of Wakanda, nor the Queen of Atlantis, nor Queen of Unobtainium.
I highly recommend it for those who enjoy films.
It would also be a wonderful date night film.

It's a story about a strong woman and it isn't woke

That one line is pretty woke though.

But I mean, to be fair, who the hell says that? You would have made an excellent man?
Woke just sucked the fun right out of everything. Her reply wasn't only justified after being talked to like that, but I'm sure it was a great gotcha moment in the movie, giving the pompous asshole what he deserved.
I get the feeling from what little I glean here that he's not one of the "bad guys" in the movie. He's just a loudmouthed dick and a "product of his time" then?

To counter your virtue-signalling outrage, I might point out:
If the film is accurate, then she was the first female Missionary. Thousands before her, she was the first woman. That is history, not Fake woke pretend.
And America was not where she wanted to go. She was forced to go, not only to America, but the worst place, the most wretched place - New York City. And every man in the film told her that they will not allow her to do what she wanted to do.

I think in order to counter anything you need to define what you mean here and explain it first.
