Tears of the Sun (2003)

Tears of the Sun (2003, USA) C-121m. SCOPE **½ D: Antoine Fuqua. Starring Bruce Willis, Monica Bellucci, Cole Hauser, Eamonn Walker, Johnny Messner, Tom Skerritt. War drama set in Nigeria, Africa, where hardened colonel Willis is assigned to rescue doctor Bellucci, who does her work amidst civil war dangers. When she refuses to leave alone and leave her helpers and friends behind, Willis is faced with a dilemma. Meaningful, slickly made drama whose major mistake is that it neglects the characters and thus does not involve the viewer fully. Sweeping score by Hans Zimmer.
