Here is what people are saying about the Tears of the Sun
3 Star Rating  "a disturbing look a Nigerian genocide . . ."2009-10-07
- Reviewed By redclaw95
Set in Nigeria, Tears of the Sun (2003) is a typical jungle rescue, combat epic, with plenty of explosions, and thousands of rounds expended. Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, The Replacement Killers) also wanted to shine a light on the very dark side of humanity, taking a look at the brutality of ethnic cleansing (genocide).

Bruce Willis (Die Hard) is Lieutenant A. K. Waters, the leader of a group of Navy SEALs sent into the jungle to extract Lena Fiore Kendricks (Monica Bellucci) a doctor practicing in a clinic there. Dr. Kendricks insists that her friends also be taken to safety. A large group head for the rendezvous point, where Kendricks is dragged aboard a helicopter, and forced to abandon her friends. Flying out, the mission is all but done, when Waters unexpectedly turns the chopper back. The chopper transports just a few of the refuges to safety, leaving the SEAL team, Kendricks, and the remaining refuges, to try and find a way out on foot. During their journey, they encounter the horrors of ethnic cleansing, as rebel forces systematically exterminate anyone the encounter.

As an African-American concerned about the future of Africa, revealing the horrors of ethnic cleansing, was Fuqua's goal. He presents the terror of murder, rape, and torture, where men are burned alive, and women have their breasts cut off. This part of the film is truly shocking, providing a glimpse into the kind of atrocities reported to have taken place in Nigeria.

While the massacres make a strong impression, the overall story has many elements that are not very credible. While having Doctor Kendricks along adds to the 'drama', clearly the logical thing to do was to have included her in the group sent to safety on the helicopter. Securing her life was the goal of the mission, and Waters fails big time when given the chance. Other plot elements involving secret intrigue among the refugees, and the wishy washy attitude of Navy command, add drama, but strain the limits of believability.

Up until the final battle, the action sequences are well done and mostly realistic. Fuqua had effectively shown the genocide, and the plight of the victims. Unfortunately, much of the credibility built up to this point, is blown away in the film's finale, that is pure Hollywood. Way over the top, and too talky. The fighter planes coming to the rescue, take forever to arrive. And the melodramatic finish, is terribly clichéd.

Antoine Fuqua covers many subjects in his fiery commentary track. The film was shot in Hawaii, because after 9/11, there was reluctance to film outside of the country. Fortunately the terrain, weather, and plant life there, was very similar to the area of Nigeria featured in the film. The evil brutality of genocide definitely has impact, but is somewhat overshadowed the overdramatic ending. If you don't mind a Rambo type finish, the film is worth seeing.
 
5 Star Rating  "Just when I thought it could not get better"2009-10-03

I have a bias because I had this movie in SD and since getting my ps3 I have systematically been converting my library from SD to HD. This is great movie not only from a cinematic standpoint but also from a story standpoint. In Blu-ray, the audio and video is amazing. The action sequences and the nuances of the cinematography are clearly apparent.

I have the DVD and purchased this blu-ray because i really like this movie. The sound is better, but the image is not that great. The upconvertion DVD image is almost equal.
 
5 Star Rating  "Outstanding war movie and one of Willis best."2009-09-09
- Reviewed By shirley_rw
This is a tearjerker of a movie, very sad but very good. The action is intense as well as the story line. I do not see much comparison between this movie and BlackHawk Down. They are two very different stories with only thing in common is that they are both set in Africa. If you are looking for a warfighter movie with courage, sacrifice and action then this is it. One can always nitpick any movie but I have seen this movie 5 times and see it for what it is, a great story.

- Reviewed By User: A2PM7WVQ7ZWDWR
Bruce willis is perfect for this role. Blu-Ray adds to excellent film. Story line lays the moral issues right on the table for the audience to judge. The political implications and "national interest" flow right to the real world issues in today's Africa and other areas of the world. The characters are well developed through the film and the raw action and violence are not just add ons but integral to the storyline. In addition, the glimpse into SEALS tactics and mission go right to the Somali piracy of 2009. highly recommended.
