In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, addicted gang biker Sam Childers is released from prison and learns that his wife Lynn is no longer a stripper but has converted to Christianity. One night, Sam and his best friend Donnie give a ride to a hitchhiker who threatens Donnie with a pocketknife; however Sam reacts and turns the tables on the stranger.

When he meets a preacher from Africa, he decides to visit the continent.

Further, he fights whenever necessary and becomes a legend known as The Machine Gun Preacher.
Leave your thoughts about Machine Gun Preacher.
| Screen It!Jim JudyLike it's titular component that's known for spraying bullets everywhere in the belief that enough will hit to do the job, the film might have benefitted more from a carefully aimed rifle approach instead. (Movie Review for Parents also available) |
| AV ClubTasha RobinsonMachine Gun Preacher is stirring when it presents Childers as a hero, but it does its most impressive work when it addresses him as a flawed, struggling, but still determined man. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertWhat a surprise. Its grindhouse title notwithstanding, "Machine Gun Preacher" is a genuine drama. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinIn the end it devolves into something disappointingly ordinary, which, given the proven skills and sensibilities of director Marc Forster ... |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceHas a built-in disadvantage: director Marc Forster. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)It's not great, but Childers is a compelling person and this is a way to start finding out about him. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA morally muddled tale that treats serious issues of faith and violence simplistically rather than with the subtlety they deserve. |
| Christianity TodayTodd HertzProvocative, faith-affirming, and challenging, it models what Christian-made films could be. Childers's Christianity is shown as the dynamic and intricate force that it is. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifford...a clunky work that is interesting only some of the time, and that is the time [Sam] Childers spends in Sudan. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...a shapeless mess of a film that has a passion for its central true life subject but plays like a more liberal version of Stallone's "Rambo" reboot. |
