Arrow Machine Gun Preacher (Gerald Butler)

Machine Gun Preacher September 23, 2011


Quote:
Machine Gun Preacher" is the inspirational true story of Sam Childers, a former drug-dealing criminal who undergoes an astonishing transformation and finds an unexpected calling as the savior of hundreds of kidnapped and orphaned children. Gerard Butler ("300") delivers a searing performance as Childers, the impassioned founder of the Angels of East Africa rescue organization in Golden Globe-nominated director Marc Forster's ("Monster's Ball," "Finding Neverland") moving story of violence and redemption.

When ex-biker-gang member Sam Childers (Butler) makes the life-changing decision to go to East Africa to help repair homes destroyed by civil war, he is outraged by the unspeakable horrors faced by the region's vulnerable populace, especially the children. Ignoring the warnings of more experienced aide workers, Sam breaks ground for an orphanage where it's most needed—in the middle of territory controlled by the brutal Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a renegade militia that forces youngsters to become soldiers before they even reach their teens.

But for Sam, it is not enough to shelter the LRA's intended victims. Determined to save as many as possible, he leads armed missions deep into enemy territory to retrieve kidnapped children, restoring peace to their lives—and eventually his own. The explosive, real-life tale of a man who has rescued over a thousand orphans from starvation, disease and enslavement, "Machine Gun Preacher" also stars Michelle Monaghan ("Due Date"), Kathy Baker ("Cold Mountain"), Madeline Carroll ("Mr. Popper's Penguins"), Academy Award® nominated Michael Shannon ("Revolutionary Road") and Souleymane Sy Savane ("Damages").

Wow that trailer was fantastic.I hope it gets great reviews and does well and has a great performance by Gerard Butler so he can get nominated for a Oscar or academy awards.

you judge the movie because of its name? Machine Gun Preacher has nothing to do with these Grindhouse movies
have you seen the trailer?

Agreed. It may not be an oscar-worthy movie (but it may be), but it's definitely nowhere in the same vein as a Grindhouse flick.

Does anyone know what the deal is for the Theater Release for this movie. I've never had so much trouble finding this. It says September 30th, but no theater in my area is showing it?!?! Not even Dallas, TX?!?!

Why is this not a normal nationwide release?

According to IMDB the 23rd of Sept was for New York and L.A. Can't find anything about a nation wide release.

Brian Orndorf: "[Marc Forster is] also the man responsible for the worst James Bond effort, 2008’s “Quantum of Solace.”

Quantum of Solace is one of the better Bond films.

Not sure of the point your are trying to establish...but I would have to agree with Brian Orndorf, whoever that may be.

Entertainment Weekly pretty much gave it a damning review giving it a D - RT rating is 23 - ouch! - I'm staying away from this film.

I've found that roughly 99.235% of the time, I disagree with Entertainment Weekly's reviews, so I'm glad to see they gave it a poor rating.

Ok, I'm gonna give the film 3.5/5. It's intense and emotional.
