I saw the title on this trailer and I immediately thought it was a goof. I had a good zinger in mind, too.
“So, apparently the producers of Machine Gun Preacher saw Hobo With A Shotgun and thought they could do one better.”
Y’see. Kinda snazzy.
Then I watched the trailer. Pure pulp shlock like Hobo With A Shotgun this is not…
I have no doubt that this movie will make people who do mission work feel good about themselves. But I am decidedly not the audience for this picture.
I’m also skeptical how much of this “true story” holds water. What are your thoughts? Leave your comments below!
I’d say there’s a decent amount of truth mixed in with the Hollywood in this one. http://www.machinegunpreacher.org/about-sam-childers/
I don’t think he’s as Rambo as the trailer seems to depict, but I’d say he’s a guy who is willing to fight to protect those he believes God has called him to help.
