Gerard Butler takes it to an entirely different level of acting in this film. For those who already like Butler, his performance in this will absolutely blow you away. This movie is 100% full on. They suck all of your emotions in by hiding nothing. All of the macabre violence and torture that goes on in the Sudan is accurately displayed in this movie, and Butler delivers Oscar worthy responses to the violence and death, in each scene. Go see this now. DO IT!

This movie did an excellent job of showing the human element of the story without belaboring pointless details. It brilliantly let us figure out the trivial moments of life while showing us the parts with real emotional impact and immediate plot relevance. I wish even half of the movies in Hollywood had pacing this good.

This is the true of Sam Chillders. He was a drug addiict who found God. He later goes to Africa to save children. It hit a little bit home since my family is from Poland & my parents were small children when WWII was happening. You can't fathom what goes on in the minds of people to be so evil. I had seen the real Sam Childers at a church in Munster, IN. His message was, it's not just the children in Africa who are kidnapped, killed, etc., but, all over the world. We should be helping children everywhere.

I thought this was a great movie. The acting was sublime and funny enough it wasn't a preachy movie. It just made you mad, sad and angry. A great vehicle for Gerard Butler.

What a shame that this movie got such a small release! It's a must must MUST see for all but children (too much for little ones to handle). Finally we are being given a movie that really matters. We can all learn and grow from such a man. Gerard Butlers finest work!
