This movie was nothing like I thought it would be. I was
expecting a by the numbers action film, but what I got was a film deep with
heart and soul. Powerful and moving
scenes and some great action sequences.
This film is based off of a true story.
This film tells the story of a man (played by Gerard Butler)
who just got out of prison and is the lowest of the low. Addicted to drugs,
crime and anything else he can think of.
Until one night when something devastating happens that changes him. He
goes to church where God finds him and turns his life around eventually leading
him to go to Africa to help those devastated by war and death.
The actors play their parts with strong resolve, Butler is especially
convincing as he transforms from the scum of the Earth to a man with a
vision. This film captures not only the
beauty of Africa, but the horrors that take place which we rarely see in today’s
media. It’s a mesmerizing film full of
intensity in emotion and in the real terrors faced by those who live there. The characters convey what feels like real
emotions and the chemistry between them feels genuine.
This is a movie not to be missed by anyone who enjoys a
strongly acted and solidly cinematic film experience.
