Full Plot Details

Navy SEAL Lieutenant A.K. Waters and his elite squadron of tactical specialists are forced to choose between their duty and their humanity, between following orders by ignoring the conflict that surrounds them, or finding the courage to follow their conscience and protect a group of innocent refugees. When the democratic government of Nigeria collapses and the country is taken over by a ruthless military dictator, Waters, a fiercely loyal and hardened veteran is dispatched on a routine mission to retrieve a Doctors Without Borders physician, Dr. Lena Kendricks. Dr. Kendricks, an American citizen by marriage, is tending to the victims of the ongoing civil war at a Catholic mission in a remote village. When Waters arrives, however, Dr. Kendricks refuses to leave unless he promises to help deliver the villagers to political asylum at the nearby border. If they are left behind, they will be at the mercy of the enormous rebel army. Waters is under strict orders from his commanding officer Captain Bill Rhodes to remain disengaged from the conflict. But as he and his men witness the brutality of the rebels first-hand, they are won over to Dr. Kendricks' cause and place their lives at risk by agreeing to escort the villagers on a perilous trek through the dense jungle. As they move through the countryside on foot, Waters' team, experts at evasion and concealment, are inexplicably and ferociously pursued by an army of rebels. They are confounded until they discover that, among the refugees, is the sole survivor of the country's previous ruling family, whom the rebels have been ordered to eliminate at all costs. Waters and his small band of soldiers must weigh the life of one man against their own and the refugees they feel obliged to protect.

Movie Reviews

Decent Films Guide - 9/10 by Steven D. GreydanusIn the absence of any larger drama of characters or exploration of moral issues, the horror seems manipulative rather than dramatically justified.
EricDSnider.com - 9/10 by Eric D. SniderIf you have accepted that there are few new stories in Hollywood, or even old stories being told in new ways, then you have accepted the mediocrity that awaits you in this grim, inconsequential action drama.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Stephen HunterThe film is a strictly no-bull proposition.
Star-Democrat (Easton, MD) - 8/10 by Greg Maki... Fuqua relies on old-fashioned, gung-ho heroics and the stern face of Bruce Willis to carry the show.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisThe film would be just as powerful, if less likely to saturate suburban megaplexes and flatter its patrons, were its saviors -- I don't know - French.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertUntil it descends into mindless routine action in the climactic scenes, Tears of the Sun is essentially an impressionistic nightmare.
Charlotte Observer - 8/10 by Lawrence ToppmanFuqua and his writers, Alex Lasker and Patrick Cirillo, have delivered not only the most satisfying and plausible action movie in months but one that's accidentally timely.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliFuqua takes a genre picture and, by diverting the story onto an unconventional path, generates a sense of urgency. Tears of the Sun is not a great movie, but it is satisfying, and represents an example of accomplished filmmaking.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by J.R. JonesBy turns morally compelling and racially paternalistic, this provocative drama may be the first halfway truthful war movie to hit multiplexes since "Three Kings."
Dallas Observer - 8/10 by Gregory WeinkaufThe movie remains engaging, with a couple of sequences verging on stunning.
