Movie Reviews of Tears of the Sun (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Not worthwhile
Summary: 1 Stars
Picture quality is impacted because so much of this film is shot in very dark conditions. Also, someone on the production team seems to think that Bruce Willis' face can be substituted for good scenery. I bet his face took up half of the overall area on film for this movie. My biggest single gripe is that I found the plot completely implausible, and the characters impossible to get attached to.
Summary of Tears of the Sun (Special Edition)
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 FuquaWhile 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
