Reviews

wrathofvengeance In my mind, very few war movies have what it takes to depict the deadliness and sharp minded honed warrior psychology of an elite killing machine. This movie is more than just a war movie, it's a testament to hunters of the shadows, to demons in your sleep, it lends a vision into United States Navy SEALs that wait in the waters edge as you fetch a basket by the river or who keenly train their eyes on your movements in the dark green fizzled hue of night vision optics. It's got that....aurora about it. A mysticism surrounding the modern elite. When these modern elite are sent into the jungles of Africa their mission is simple; ascertain a western doctor in a feel good near Yolingo and bring her back to the extraction point. Things don't turn out as they seem, and so this SEAL team is forced to hike to the nearest extraction with more than what they bargained for. Hot on their tails are an entire rebel army, who vigorously peruse the SEAL team through rain, wind and weather. What follows is perhaps the coolest depiction of jungle combat, clandestine ops and hidden concealment. Tears of the Sun, a classic in its own right.

mrddownard I have done studies on the Militant style terrorists in the jungles of Africa and this is unfortunately how they operate.. its very hard to find them due to how thick these jungles are. They know how to disappear and have spies everywhere to warn them about any operations to come get them. The villages are scared to death of them..

comps-784-38265 More Hollywood macho American nonsense. There's nothing wrong with that - if it's entertaining. But if it irritates then it's just painful. A lot of it was irritating because it was such a dumbed down, make it simple because the audience are stupid and won't ask any questions. Why didn't they just pick her up and leave. ?So many more questions why? are they retarded ? are they stupid? WTF !It's the classic nonsense that America doesn't interfere in foreign wars, and certainly never, ever kills anyone. Soldiers only do whats right. etcBruce Willis is always good to watch as the struggling good guy overcoming his orders and he carries what otherwise would be a C rate nonsensical action movie. As is, its a B rate watch after 5 beers if your feeling gung ho and have fond memories of Die Hard. (which was so much more plausible than this)6/10 watch once, too irritating to watch twice.

adonis98-743-186503 I wonder what happened to this Bruce Willis i mean he made this movie then Sin City, 16 Blocks and Die Hard 4.0 what the hell happened after that? Tears of the Sun is an amazing example of humanity and courage to not hate the people who are next to us. Of course some people won't like it because they will say that it's Propaganda and just a typical action movie and yes it does have action and some very rough scenes to watch but it talks about war and it's something that still happens it's not some PG-13 War film starring Shia Labeouf i mean common it supposed to be dark, gritty and have action it's a war movie and it succeeds in everything it also has a very touching ending i liked it a lot.
