The movie by Marc Forster called are *Machine Gun Preacher*, based on the experience of Sam Childers, describes the powerful story of conversion that takes place between the grim neighborhoods of the United States and the brutal field of the African continent. Gerard Butler plays Childers, a man who was a drug dealer and changes after the faith of his wife and mother instills that in him.
This movie is about the issues of sacrificing one’s life for a cause and the unclear rightness of straightening the scores as the film goes back and forth between a thriller and the dramatic. Beautiful shots draw people’s attention to the conditions the children that Childers wants to save, and Hans Zimmer’s music makes people feel the vulnerability of the children.
However, watching the movie had its flaws of getting too slow at some point and at almost all times it tries to hide the aspect of the ‘white savior’ of the people of Nigeria, which questions the aspect of foreign interferences. Finally, *Machine Gun Preacher* invites admiration and reflection as a human being on the assertion that it is compassion that gives its subject strength while facing obstacles.
