I've been rewatching Angel and I love her in it as Fred.

My problem is this is the equivalent of doing press junkets. When you go around doing interviews like this to promote it’s a reflection on the movie regardless.

Is your anger just that Indy's successor is a woman?
That seems to be what it is

Shouldn’t let that keep you away anymore than a crazy Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch or Johnny Depp lamenting that he doesn’t have more openings on his body from which to smoke more cigarettes.
It is about a serious topic and it is worth seeing in the theater without distractions. Very well made film.

In a movie… where there is no Indy successor.

Thank You Paul!
Except his craziness is directly tied to the general theme within the movie, is brought up during press for the movie and is using the movie as a fundraising vehicle
I find it interesting that if someone has reservations about a movie they are judged except if it is a religious reservation then they are deemed worthy reservations.

Eh, it's the couture hypocrisy that I notice.Supreme Court, religious objection is real in America now, baby!
Tom Cruise couch jumping I don’t think was related to a film and his interview wasn’t a recruiting tool. Associating yourself to Oprah vs SB is miles apart. Those things are not remotely similar.
I have no doubt this is a serious topic and worth mentioning but the above interview goes back to my first post. I am making no judgments about the worthiness of the topic or quality of the film. Only that the the interview above seems more of the same. Instead of letting the work speak for itself, they couldn’t resist taking advantage again. I am sure I will see this eventually but not rushing out to see it.

Some people manufacturing reasons not to see this is disappointing but then again those same people aren’t going to go into it without any bias and the film won’t hit them as deeply as it does most. Very powerful film that should be seen without distractions.

Misrepresenting a true story is a big deal to some people. Not to you apparently.

So now that’s the reason? Another reason.
Being in the industry, I assumed you would know that “based on true events” does not mean “everything happened just like this.”

Nice thing about this movie is that you can literally go see it in the theater for free. Still don’t like it and you’re out nothing but a couple hours. But maybe it will make an impact or just be well made enough that you’re entertained. As I have said and both reviewers I posted mentioned “It is a one watch film but it is worthy of that one watch.” No need to tear it down without having seen it. Didn’t we recently have a back and forth about that on here in a different thread?

They make Jim Caviezal's character a hero when the real man was not the angel you'd like to think he is.
I haven't seen it, but I've read enough to know that it misrepresents the truth. That has no bearing on whether the movie is "good" or not. Too bad you don't understand the distinction.

The "you have to see it to comment on it" crowd is taking a ton of body blows in this thread.

Well, having actually seen the film, I can say it is not at all a “hero’s journey” tale celebrating Tim Ballard. He is just one of many people and agencies battling against human traffickers. The movie tells a story because stories have power and can be shared and can make a difference. Period. That’s its overall motivation.

Didn’t you recently mock another poster for saying he knew about a film before he saw it because he had “researched “ it extensively? Sounds like that’s what YOU are saying now.
My Qanon sister loved it and my other sister refuses to even talk about it and they are fighting about it in a group chat.

I have no interest in supporting Caviezal so I won’t be seeing it.
Here’s a write up from WaPo on the film.
Here’s a write up from WaPo on the film.
Can you give a link on details of the exact story on how it was misrepresented? I’d like to read up on it and since you’re apparently so well versed on the back story I figured you’d be good one to ask? Wanna see how many liberties were taken since I’ve seen the movie.
The movie was good regardless and “based” on a true story as far as I know in Hollywood means many liberties are taken here and there. It’s actually common place to make a movie more entertaining and enjoyable to the viewing public.
Crazy how a movie about such an actual horrible topic that is a literal problem in society ignites so much vitriol from some people. Anything that can bring some light to such a crappy and disgusting practice in todays world should be a good thing no?
I will likely watch it at some point when it is available to stream.
