Brian Cates puts the above in perspective.
This reminds me: Trump retruthed something that referred Jim Kaviezel, saying something like it’s about time we had the David and Goliath story. Something like that. Wish I could find it.
Meanwhile, keep in mind:
Back to the movie. Here’s info from the O.U.R. (Operation Underground Railroad) website itself re: what is true and what false in the movie. P.S. The “Timotea” medal story is true! That really blew me away. The legions who complain that this is a “faith-based” movie, and thus Christian propaganda, should be ashamed of themselves. What stands out here is how men of faith, i.e., men who follow their own mysterious inner guidance, no matter what, become true heroes.
Anyone who has stepped off the beaten path, jumped off the cliff and dared to follow his or her inner guidance, will grok what’s going on in this movie. Others, who have not yet reached that developmental stage, will find themselves utterly inspired. The movie takes root in the soul, and grows.
To follow one’s inner guidance involves mysterious forces, situations, dreams, so-called “coincidences,” that blow us away to the point where we bow down and dive in. The crux point reached; it’s either that or die. And when we do “follow our bliss,” as one of my heroes, Joseph Campbell, intoned:
Campbell also wrote The Hero’s Journey.
There are several heroes in this movie, not just one. The ex-cartel guy, for example, tells his story of how he was going to commit suicide, having recognized that his actions were part of the darkness, and then joined forces to rescue trafficked victims instead.
Divine guidance, when followed, works miracles. 
Another hero? Tim Ballard’s wife and mother of their five children. She not only allowed him to plunge right into danger, she completely supports his quest, messaging him late at night in his hot sweaty tent to say that she feels like the little girl he is trying to rescue is one of her own. Talk about faith! This is true faith in both one’s partner and in one’s ability to absorb and integrate whatever happens next.
Hmmm. . . Fox News now taking up the cause.
Others?
