CRITICS OF "Machine Gun Preacher"

Scene-Stealers.com

It's an uncomfortable marriage of sentimental genre conventions and real-life tragedy shown with graphic detail. It does bring you inside the main character's internal struggle, but doesn't seem focused enough as it sways into action film territory.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

In telling a true story, ambiguity can be an asset; but instead of mapping a middle course, director Marc Foster veers between two kinds of falsehoods.

it can be a bit... preachy, if you pardon the pun

Minneapolis Star Tribune

What a surprise. Its grindhouse title notwithstanding, "Machine Gun Preacher" is a genuine drama.

ScreenRant

Despite a competent performance from Butler, Machine Gun Preacher tackles way too much material to present a cohesive onscreen telling of the Sam Childers story.

We Got This Covered

With an exploitation-friendly title like Machine Gun Preacher you'd think this movie would be the soul brother of Hobo With A Shotgun. Unfortunately, that is not so.

Tribune News Service

With all the talk of "Kony/KONY 2012" wending its way into the culture, this movie gives a vivid picture of who this villain is and why the world should be doing something about him.

We're given surprisingly little food for thought when it comes to the question of the complicated tensions between Christian faith and violence.

Globe and Mail

Why is it that uplifting movies based on true stories often feel so untrue and fall so flat?

Time Out

The need to cram in facts and events makes 'Machine Gun Preacher' feel too much like one large and needlessly glossy montage sequence.

The clichés fly like so many spent bullet casings...

Detroit News

What looks on the surface to be yet another inspiring story of one man's salvation turns out to be instead both an examination of modern atrocity and a rethinking of the burden/beauty of belief.
