This movie is a great example that the best stories are written by LIFE itself! It may look like a simple action movie, but this is nothing to watch together with Popcorn or Pizza! Gerald Butler delivered a stunning performance - and I am surprised that he didn't get multiple awards for this. I think it's phenomenal how the two worlds (Pennsylvania & Sudan) were portrayed - on one side wealth & on the other side suffering. I loved the scene were the camera takes a slow swing over the cooling shelf (in a supermarket) and then skip to Africa showing death and destruction - if that doesn't get you thinking... I don't know. To me it is unbelievable this is based on a true story! It is moving, but also shocking - it has very little good funny moments, but is also engaging & dead serious. "Machine Gun Preacher" is one of only a few screenings that left me speechless & easily is in my top 50. This should be an inspiration for us all. "One man can make a difference!"

Furthermore, I could More
