First let me say, do your own research as far as seeing this or not. I will tell you this though. Some of the critiques of the movies are about the real life person and organization. Not what is in the actual movie.
Positive: Cinemetography. The camera angles in this are very dope. They really shoot it in a way where you're looking at this from a child's perspective.
Acting: There no bad acting in this. Not even the kids and as you probably know that's not easy. Yes, Jim is good but the best actor in here is Bill Camp. I'm not familiar with his work but he's dope.
Faith based- I've seen plenty of faith based, gospel movies. But to me this ain't one of them. It's cussing, drinking, smoking. The main character says God but this movie is not going over the top to evangelize. If the main character is a Christian in real life, I couldn't tell from this film explicitly like that.
Negative:
Too long: No reason for this to be long. I get they tried to build a "origin" story but they could cut all that out. If they had started with his rescue mission I would have been fine.
Subject matter: They don't show kids getting molested. But it's implied alot. That ain't something you just want to see unless you a weirdo. cinematography helps because the way they tell the story. You get it without it being explicit.
Bottom line: The rescue stuff is nice. It's not overbearing with "I'm a patriot, I'm doing this for my country." The focus is on these kids getting raped and kidnapped. And not just some "Catch a Predator" type stuff. I'd give a a B-. If this was shorter, I'd give it a B. But hey, a free ticket. Can't be mad.
