Can the brave and charismatic US Ranger and his team evacuate the beautiful Dr Kendricks & the villagers to safety?

negative · AI labelView post →5. I have a blockbuster rental DVD copy of Tears of the Sun. The special edition, to be exact. I don't even know what this movie is or what it's about. I just liked the fact that it's a blockbuster rental DVD.

neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Tears of the Sun (2003). Was in the mood for a Bruce movie. Kinda by-the-numbers but it was just fine. It’s about Bruce unilaterally stopping a Nigerian genocide, so it’s some good fantasy/wish-fulfillment for the present moment. Very much an “America fuck yeah” kind of film, though.
neutral · AI labelView post →Once long ago I was quite irritated that Antoine Fuqua's 'King Arthur' recycled so much of the plot from his earlier movie 'Tears of the Sun', but now I can't bring myself to care.
