- Synopsis
- Bruce Willis stars as Lt. A.K. Waters, the loyal veteran officer of a Navy S.E.A.L unit. When he's sent into the heart of Africa, the usually hard-bitten Waters finds himself deeply conflicted at having to choose between following orders and the dictates of his own conscience. Though a fictionalization, Tears of the Sun deals with the gritty realism of human conflict as Lt. Waters travels to war-torn central Africa to rescue Dr. Lena Kendricks (Monica Bellucci), a U.S. citizen who runs a mission in the countryside. But when Lt. Waters arrives Dr. Kendricks refuses to abandon the refugees under her care. She implores Waters to escort them on a dangerous trek through the dense jungle to the nearby border. During the journey the S.E.A.L.s find themselves the unwitting guardians of a man sought by the rebel militia. This further endangers their already hazardous mission, but all the while strengthening Waters' resolve to protect Lena and the refugees, and to deliver them safely across the border.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Left wing? Right wing? Center? Who cares, as long as Bruce Willis is saving the world"
-
"This is one of those pictures that unavoidably becomes part of the zeitgeist due to its coincidental arrival at a precise moment in history when its themes play into current events."
-
"Fairly entertaining and often exciting"
-
"'Tears of the Sun' is not a great movie, but it is satisfying, and represents an example of accomplished filmmaking"
-
"Handsomely made, well-meaning but finally frustrating and unsatisfying"
-
Director Antoine Fuqua can stage action, but he can't save a trivializing, reactionary script featuring a Hollywood star (read America) as a global savior"
