    Gerard Butler has proven yet again that he can step up and master the hardest of roles. Seeing what these children are going thru not only in Africa but other places as well, has me looking into how or what I can do to help. God help us all for letting HIS children suffer.

    Hollywood could not write a better plot,as it is hard to call this a plot as it's base on true events. To see an ex con morph into someone so passionate, about someone else s fight, and saving lives at the expense of his own family and friends,willing to fight to the death,makes this a riveting movie, at the same time makes you feel good that people like that really exist. Graphic violence, the reality and seriousness, mutilated bodies adds to the gore that makes you think about this movie after it over. Makes you wonder if there are others like Sam Childers with equally compelling stories!

    Yes   |   No
