Sound of Freedom: Jim Caviezel’s transformation from savior of the world to America’s security agent

In the United States, the movie Sound of Freedom seems to be rising as one of the best openings of the month of July, a dramatic story based on real events, the plot of which shows us a Department of Homeland Security agent fighting a human trafficking gang from Colombia to save their victims, all of them children.

And one of the most notable aspects of this production is the participation of Jim Caviezel, star of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ, who gives life to the protagonist Tim Ballard.

Jim Caviezel, From Jesus Christ to American Agent

As Vader points out, Jim Caviezel’s performances are often terrifying, as is his role as Jesus Christ, which required tears and blood to be shed.

And it is that his sacrifice was literal because he was struck by lightning during filming, accidentally hit, suffered from pneumonia and suffered injuries from wearing a real wooden cross.

This is how, amid criticism of the film’s subject matter, the actor’s fame rose like foam, before hitting a dead end in his career, as Mel Gibson warned him.

At least, it was until Jim Caviezel finally returned to the big screen in Sound of Freedom, where he left behind his image of Jesus Christ to become a security agent for the United States.

Definitely, the 54-year-old man has proved himself right in front of his fans, who expected to see him rise from his lethargy caused by the difficulty of finding good roles, and the film’s success was such that it even earned more than $85 million in national box office sales alone.
