Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Sound of Freedom (out Aug 24) is hard to watch in isolation of the growing controversy of the past month (you'll find more online). In critiquing purely on its artistic merit, I’ll describe it as a ho-hum thriller with average dialogue, an unsophisticated narrative, weak supporting characters (Mira Sorvino???), and some half-decent action pieces. Grade: B-.
