Gerard Butler Saves Sudanese Orphans With The Aid Of God (along with a Bazooka) in Machine Gun Preacher Trailer

“I done several things, which i ain’t happy with. Hurt many people.” So states a repentant Gerard Butler just as real-existence ex-disadvantage Mike Childers at the outset of a clip for Marc Forster’s September curio, Machine Gun Preacher. Just how can Childers save his falling apart soul? By being a born-again missionary helping orphans within the Sudan… by harming individuals who oppose using the aide of the bazooka. What have you expect? Debuting in the Toronto Film Festival, Machine Gun Preacher has some difficulties to beat — namely it’s another myth-of-the-whitened-messiah film being released so right after the controversy was started up through the Help. Obviously, Childers is indeed a-existence hero — and that he did improve an orphanage within the Sudan that houses some 200 children who does well be destitute or worse — so Preacher has a little more credibility than happened between Skeeter and Aibileen, but nonetheless: that poster didn’t help. A clip might, if perhaps since it presents Childers like a guy going to overcome his past devils. That’s the stuff that work well here the orphan-saving antics don’t, despite the existence of quite a badass bazooka. Other conditions: Butler’s indiscernible accent, the always-great Michelle Monaghan reduced to giving pep talks in the supermarket (nice Egg Beaters plug, though), precious little Michael Shannon, which corny kicker. There’s a great movie within this trailer, but whether Forster and Butler can accomplish it remains to appear. VERDICT: Not prepared to convert. Mind to Apple to look at a clip in HD.
