Sadly when I get notice of an upcoming movie, it often times hasn't been rated yet. This movie is rated R. For the most part we shy away from R movies. I really enjoy Gerard Butler and his acting and the message seemed to be one we would enjoy. Hubby loves the action packed shows and if that was what gave it an R I was ok with that. Unfortunately within the first 5 minutes of the show they said the F word more than a dozen times, giving it an instant Reject status in our home... bummer. I would have hoped a movie with the word preacher in it would have been a little less vulgar.

this movie was a great movie i know the beginning is bad but it supposed to be it shows that he was in a bad place with drugs and alcohol and jail. did you watch the whole thing? i dont like swearing myself but with a movie title like that and him being a biker i already expected it to be a bit sweary. he didnt become a 'preacher' till later after he found God. he wasnt an ordained preacher but he did save a bunch of kids
