Tears of the Sun resembles John Woo's Windtalkers in many ways. Both movies are loaded with war movie cliches and awkward acting. In Windtalkers they had Nicolas Cage to boost the sales. Tears of the Sun's economical success resides on the shoulders of Bruce Willis. I suppose a lot of people will choose this item from the rental store because of good old Bruce. That will be your first mistake. With this script even Bruce can't make it work. The movie is almost unbearable from the beginning and even the fighting scenes are unrealistic. Choosing this film will ruin your evening even if you find awful movies strangely amusing.
