besherat " Tears of the Sun " .A good movie, in my opinion. The seemingly simple story, turned into a war drama, full of uncertain events and the emotional moments, which effectively link the action through the Nigerian jungle, through a civil war that has claimed a lot of unnecessary casualties. Good film for action films, which I don't like a lot.Movie also have a little stupid, American fittings, "we are good guys and rescue some black people there". Bruce Willis make face like a real dangerous guy, Monica Bellucci wasn't fastened her shirt in all film, which was a nice movie scene
wrathofvengeance In my mind, very few war movies have what it takes to depict the deadliness and sharp minded honed warrior psychology of an elite killing machine. This movie is more than just a war movie, it's a testament to hunters of the shadows, to demons in your sleep, it lends a vision into United States Navy SEALs that wait in the waters edge as you fetch a basket by the river or who keenly train their eyes on your movements in the dark green fizzled hue of night vision optics. It's got that....aurora about it. A mysticism surrounding the modern elite. When these modern elite are sent into the jungles of Africa their mission is simple; ascertain a western doctor in a feel good near Yolingo and bring her back to the extraction point. Things don't turn out as they seem, and so this SEAL team is forced to hike to the nearest extraction with more than what they bargained for. Hot on their tails are an entire rebel army, who vigorously peruse the SEAL team through rain, wind and weather. What follows is perhaps the coolest depiction of jungle combat, clandestine ops and hidden concealment. Tears of the Sun, a classic in its own right.
adonis98-743-186503 I wonder what happened to this Bruce Willis i mean he made this movie then Sin City, 16 Blocks and Die Hard 4.0 what the hell happened after that? Tears of the Sun is an amazing example of humanity and courage to not hate the people who are next to us. Of course some people won't like it because they will say that it's Propaganda and just a typical action movie and yes it does have action and some very rough scenes to watch but it talks about war and it's something that still happens it's not some PG-13 War film starring Shia Labeouf i mean common it supposed to be dark, gritty and have action it's a war movie and it succeeds in everything it also has a very touching ending i liked it a lot.
Bharanidaran ramani Movie is amazingly done. Bruce Willis aces again in his performance and the characters in the movie are very much likable. Yeah, we all know that movie like this is gonna go down with almost every character being a made-to-die kind of mannerism. But the intelligent characterization in this movie is none of the actors seemed to be too baffled with the problems and as the movie paces on, they accept a mission just for the order from mission leader and later get to grip on whats happening around in that place.This makes you feel so brutal, a Holocaust even in a mellowed down version will still look painful and the actors feel it. They are no way related to whats happening, they were in for a quick extraction mission but still when people are slaughtered they move from their Robot mindset to a more human perception, that right there will make you feel involved in the movie as much as the actors.The movie starts off very swiftly, and i was sure movies such as that will end in a rush, and it did. That's why i believe movie should take its time to pace in (Saving private Ryan, Black Hawk down, Hurt Locker) and then we might have a very surreal experience. I guess the director decided to end it just because he ran out of options, which is a bit cheesy.Monica bellucci should stick to modeling, i guess this part was one of her better ones, but still flat acting throughout, which is a let down. Overall, a good movie, not for the light-hearted.
