R. R Maybe not what you want to see from your comfortable first world armchair, but an excellent depiction of the horror of child soldiers and terrorism in Africa. We who live here know what lurks beneath the surface. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely makes no sense whether the reviewers would give us a low star. Real, humane, genuine. Best I've seen in a while. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Nancy A Watch from beginning to end. Gerard Butler is amazing. The message to help these children needs to be heard by all through this truly inspiring film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Mitch G I don't understand these scores. This movie is great, truly great. It's not a "Christian" movie… yes the main character finds god and religion becomes a focal point of his life, but this movie is about redemption, sacrifice, horror, struggle, sadness, joy, friendship… I could go on. Gerard Butler is great, and yes if you know the history of the reality in Sudan, the details of what is going on exactly, there are certainly plenty of holes to poke in the story. It is an action movie at times after all… but that's not the point. This isn't a history lesson, and regardless the fact is there are countless atrocities taking place in that part of the world and this movie certainly puts that front and center. Get if your high horses, what do you watch movies for? To be disappointed and not like them? Take a deep breath, not every movie is an Oscar winner, but that doesn't mean they can't be enjoyable and thought provoking, both of which this one is. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review OKeegan The movie itself is decent....the story...everyone loves a based on a true story....Let me say I LOVE Gerard Butlèr...for his looks...not because I think he's a great actor...300 & PS I love you ɓeing his best work....but the ting with this movie...he just does not pull off the Grice or acent necessary...you can tell he has never spent any time in the south & he can not pull it off....he's got the look...but when he speaks on camara...he doesn't do what this character needs Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/10/23 Full Review John H Tells the true story of Sam Childers, a common criminal who found God and went on to do amazing things. While liberties were taken for the movie (of course), it is extremely well done and really shows the impact one person can have. One of the (extremely) few movies that doesn't use the Hollywood template for Christians (evil and/or dumb). Very inspiring!
