Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesTensions flared between director Antoine Fuqua and Bruce Willis soon after principal photography began. By the end, they vowed never to work with the other again.
- GaffesImmediately after the initial extraction from the evacuation point that was 7.5 miles from the mission, the helicopters fly over the mission. If it was safe to fly over the mission at low altitude, then why wasn't the evacuation simply conducted at the mission itself? What possible benefit could accrue to the SEAL team or the evacuees by making them hike 7.5 miles through difficult and hostile terrain, for an evacuation about a day later than was possible?

Commentaire à la une
'Tears of the Sun' is still one of my favorite war movies - not necessarily because of the war elements, but due to the humanistic element, and the amount of emotion the film contains. (Although strictly speaking this is not a war film as such, I suppose).
This is also the time still when Bruce Willis was actually leading a film, and not making small appearances only, yet with his name written bigger than the film's title on the poster. Willis makes a credible hero, with very good character development. The rest of the cast were very good, as well, and the characters didn't have the cliched introductions like most war movies do.
'Tears of the Sun' is refreshingly without comic relief or a romance interest. It is a fast-paced action thriller with feeling. The finale is stunning. This is an incredible film.
Would I watch it again? Yes, and again, and again.
