Notes et avis

If you got a hard on for Jesus, then sure, I can see how one identifies with it, but it essentially says that life outside of the great white American Christian dream, lies only drug addicted rage and senseless irresponsibly, or South African atrocities such as war, torture and starvation. I get this guy owes much to his faith and that's awesome, but the whole time it seemed like it pretty much said "believe in Christ or suffer as these people have." This movie is for Christians, fair warning.

Guess no one has any original ideas anymore. A preacher with machine guns? That finds his calling in helping orphans. Sounds a lot like Wolfwood to me.

It seems like they took a hour and half movie and made it two hours. It just seems like they jump scene to scene trying to give character build up. Good story though.
