    I thought this movie would suck so bad. Cmon think about it.The name teaars of the sun soud like some seriously lame movie. Then when you find out that it has africa, nigeria, sick and hungry kids and tourtured people in africa the movie sounds lamer. But this movie rocks! It was bacisally a great war movie starring bruce willis. Bruce was the perfect actor for that movie. He is the perfect actor for all the movies he is in. Anyways i really liked this movie.

    Not bad as far as war movies go, although it does suffer from far too many dry moments to amount to anything really special. At least Bruce Willis turns in a good performance, too bad the screenwriters couldn't do the same.

    I started this over Christmas this year ~ it seemed kind of violent ~ but I didn't have time to finish it.

    Hmm, Nigeria>civil war>ethnic clensing>Cameroon border, hey people wake up! It looks like no one had done any home work here! The film is referring to the Biafra war in a confused clumsy way. It may be that since there is a strong US interest in the oil in that region the producers decideded to avoid more direct connection to it. It sad that no one has realized this and shows that reviewers are not aware of the history in the region. OK it happened most likekely before they were born (1967-1970), but it is no excuse, do a proper research before you write. It is so easy to Goggle this days. I happened to be in the northern part Nigeria for the first half of this war and I was a teen, but remember well the political propaganda went on there as well as some of the ethnic clensing. I almost forgot all of this and have to thank the producers of this film to remind me and hopefully many others.
