The story behind machine gun preacher is inspiring: Sam Childers traded criminal activities for a life trying to save children in the Sudan, which otherwise the Lord's Resistance Army were co-opted in warfare.
But the film - Gerard Butler stands for Childers, with a seemingly unstable accent - looking history of superficial as overall by the figures phrases more Sam Childers. He will find Jesus! He finds a soul! He helps children! And if the resistance army fights back, he takes a Bazooka and blows it to hell! It's like Rambo: first blood part II for a group of sensitive, post-2000 courtesy of Monster ball Director Marc Forster. Check the trailer below.
Obvious machine gun preacher may be better than it does appear this trailer - the simple fact of condensing the story in trailer form necessarily obscured much of smaller strokes that could make it tolerable. But wow, is this special trailer unbearable. Or so I think anyway.
