'Tears of the Sun' - Trailer

Lt. A.K. Waters (Bruce Willis) leads a Navy SEAL team sent to rescue Dr. Lena Kendricks (Monica Bellucci) during the Nigerian civil war. Kendricks won’t allow herself to be rescued without her patients, so Waters goes against orders in an attempt to save the 70 refugees she won’t leave behind. Directed by Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day” and “Olympus Has Fallen”) knows how to make an action picture, but the movie has more of a ‘80s action movie approach to the military and doesn’t much resemble the serious exactitude of post-9/11 tributes to the troops. It’s a Bruce Willis action picture: the fact that he’s a SEAL is incidental. (2003)
