Review of Machine Gun Preacher (2011) by J.r. Jones for Chicago Reader — 28 Sep 2011
He's a fascinating character (even in the person of Gerard Butler), but his conversion from drug-crazed bruiser to psalm-singing family man is so swift and unconvincing that the movie is hobbled from the start.
It becomes more engrossing once Childers finds his mission in Africa.
