The movie was a political statement on the appropriate use of military strength. The main character made a consciencious choice to risk his carreer and the men he cared about to use all the training and resources at his disposal in order to oppose an obvious evil. I often hear folks say, Oh, those people have been doing that stuff to each other for centuries. Well, I say, Centuries are long enough for any peoples to suffer. If they havent stopped tormenting each other by now, the time is overdue for the rest of the world to step in and put a stop to it! The graphic, shocking scenes of torture in the movie are nothing in comparison to the hideous realities taking place today in numerous hotspots around the world. Modern armies should not be maintained for conquest or land and resource acquisition or on the pretense of self-defense. They should be secured as a worldwide police force that stops the slaughter of the innocent and helpless, restoring law and order to places that have forgotten what peaceful coexistence means. I dont mind that doing the right thing is expensive. I dont mind if going against orders is what it takes. I applaud the spirit of decent people who act when they see what everyone knows is wrong. I support our countrys efforts to secure a life for others that we ourselves are privileged to enjoy. Was this review helpful?

His character makes one mistake - caring, when an ice-cold approach would be more suitable for such rescue operations. He must choose between following orders, and saving the lives of refugees he is ordered to leave behind (in the face of a brutal political regime of ethnic cleansing). A thought-provoking story. Long live Bruce Willis. Was this review helpful?

The final scene in which noone but bad guys get hit and the "good guys" are right out in the open. Faky, not even close to being realistic, as for all those who say it is, I'd prefer the opinion of a combat vet. It was a okay action movie though. Was this review helpful?

Sign In 0 out of 1 users found this helpful Tears of The SunPosted: 3/8/2003A review of Tears of the Sun by TiaraPrincess_1 Started out kind of hokey....Of course the doctor won't leave ";her"; people. She refuses to be rescued without them going too. Very predictable, at first. The twist in the middle made it a very watchable movie. I have always loved Bruce Willis in any thing he does. Always the hero and maker of the ";right"; decisions.My only question is, how did the good doctor's makeup, including lipstick, stay so flawless through the entire movie, even when she is covered in dirt, sweat, blood and tears???

Was this review helpful? Sign In 3 out of 8 users found this helpful Idealistic Lofty CrapPosted: 3/13/2003A review of Tears of the Sun by BurningChris911FF What a pile! This movie shows a lofty arrogant Missionary (of all things!) who dictates the terms and conditions of her own rescue from start to finish! As a military member I was insulted by the notion that Special Forces lives are really wasted on worthless individuals that the actress represents. If there was ever any shade of truth to that situation, it is my hope that the Special Forces would leave the righteous arrogant slug to rot in the jungle. This would save them time and effort (and thier lives) that could be spent on more purposeful endeavors. Was this review helpful?
