Product Description
Product Description
After a West African president’s family is assassinated and civil unrest is rampant, a top secret team is deployed to the far reaches of the jungle to rescue a US doctor acting as a missionary. She insists the US forces rescue all of her charges. As a result, the group falls under rebel attacks when it is revealed that the son of the deposed West African president is among those being saved.
Set Contains:
Because of the intense political nature of Tears of the Sun, it's no surprise that a good deal of the DVD content is devoted to the political and historical background of Africa. Director Antoine Fuqua discusses it in his feature-length commentary track, along with other comments about the film itself. Another commentary track, in which the authors recall the making of the film and the material that was cut, lasts 17 minutes and is not related to the portion of the film it accompanies. A pop-up "fact track" offers further background and production info, as does a 15-minute making-of featurette. Eight of the African actors discuss their harrowing personal experiences in "Voices of Africa," and eight deleted scenes wouldn't have added much to the film, other than introducing two small but important characters earlier. The sound mix is particularly involving during the climactic scene. --David Horiuchi

- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2025Best damn military movie regarding one unit I've seen. Love the scenery and scenario sequences and teamwork displayed. My fav so far!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025Overall good story and a cut above some of Bruce's straight-to-VHS stuff. A good plot, some moral questions, and enough action to make it entertaining. What is striking about this movie is when it came out, nobody was really thinking about WHY the US would have elite forces in Africa. But, outside of the sandbox it's the #1 travel destination for special ops groups (or at least it was...).

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Bruce's best
I have always loved this film, which has new resonance against the current (2014) tribal warfare going on in the Central African Republic.. It's sort of about the Biafra war, yet not, since the time frame is wrong; but there is a civil war in Nigeria, in which the dastardly Fulani have staged a coup, killing the Igbo president and all his family, and slaughtering Christian Igbos everywhere. Bruce and his team of Navy Seals are sent in, as part of an internation rescue effort, to get westeners out. Specifically, they have to rescue a (female) doctor, who refuses to go unless she can take the people from her mission with her. Naturally, this is a non-runner: but Bruce has a change of heart, and they all set off, on foot, for the Cameroon border. The Seals, at first a bit quizzical about all this, eventually come to see their charges as people, and buy into the deal.
They hit various problems on the way, including some particularly nasty ethnic cleansing, and are vigorously pursued by the bad guys (there is a reason for this, but I won't spoil the suspense). Obviously, Bruce gets through - he is Bruce, after all - but not everybody does, and the action bits are jolly good.
An excellent action film which, at the margins, usefully exposes the nastiness of civil war.
A rattling good yarn, IMHO, which, in the margins, explores the evils of

リプトン軍曹Reviewed in Japan on June 4, 2023
4.0 out of 5 stars 引退したブルースウィリスの作品なので...
内容、アクションはとてもよく出来ています。ただ...本格ミリタリーマニアの方から見れば、何故プロ集団のシールズ大尉なのにブーニーハットで目立つスキンヘッドをわざわざ隠さないのか?と、興醒めして首を傾げたくなります。恐らくですがブルースウィリスの「俳優の顔が目立たなくなる」の一言で被らなかったのでは無いか想像します。(彼は別の作品にも、こういった事があったらしい)とは言え、引退されたのは寂しい限りです。
