Product Description:
A special-ops commander leads his team into the jungle of nigeria to rescue a doctor who will only go with them if they agree to rescue 70 refugees too. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 10/04/2005 Starring: Bruce Willis Cole Hauser Run time: 121 minutes Rating: R Director: Antoine Fuqua
Amazon.com:
While it offers nothing new to the military action genre, Tears of the Sun distinguishes itself with fine acting, expert craftsmanship, and seriousness of purpose. Its familiar "extraction mission" plot is essentially similar to that of Black Hawk Down, involving a crack team of U.S. Special Ops commandos struggling to rescue innocent missionaries amidst the bloody horror of Nigerian ethnic cleansing. With Bruce Willis as their grizzled, no-nonsense commander, the skillful team enters a hot zone that gets even hotter when their "package"--an American national (Monica Bellucci) who runs the isolated mission--demands that 70 Nigerian villagers be included in the rescue. Willis's uneasy conscience leads him to defy orders and expand his mission, and in an ambitious follow up to Training Day, director Antoine Fuqua escalates tension and strike-force with considerable emotional impact. Originally considered as a potential entry in Willis's Die Hard series, and released on the eve of America's war with Iraq, Tears of the Sun admirably avoids jingoism with its rousing story of personal good vs. political evil. --Jeff Shannon

The story is pretty good and the acting is also, though Black Hawk Down is a better movie overall.

It is its contradictions that make Tears of the Sun challenging to judge and which no doubt account for the wide disparities in opinion. On the one hand are the pitfalls of corny dialogue, logical stretches, and a weak performance by Willis. On the other hand is the drama of the faintly addressed but seething issues of human rights, multilateralism, and the limits of military power. Tears doesn't deal with these complexities with the finiteness of a film like Platoon, nor does it possess the visual ... Read More

Like BLACK HAWK DOWN, TEARS OF THE SUN is ultimately a Hollywood action film with a strong military basis. But like BLACK HAWK, I highly recommend it for its outstanding production values and as-good-as-you're-likely-to-get portrayal of the difficulties of direct action intervention in African ethnic cleansing.
TEARS lacks BLACK HAWK's tight, no-nonsense script, but Antoine Fuqua has crafted a visually beautiful, and his control over the long-take, wide-angle action sequences is flawless. ... Read More

"Tears of the Sun" (2003) tells the story of a squadron of Navy Seals lead by Bruce Willis who are on mission in Nigeria to remove a beautiful American doctor (Monica Belucci) from a Christian village before evil Islamic militants move in and annihilate 'em all. Belucci insists that "her people" go with them. Willis initially refuses but later has a change of heart. Since there are too many to remove via helicoptor, they have no choice but to lead 'em out on foot to the Carmeroon border. Will they make ... Read More

Tears of the Sun is one of the best war movies I have seen years. It is amazing how real a movie becomes on Blu-Ray.
