Das größte Problem dieses Films ist die Tatsache, dass er wie ein tiefes Drama wirken möchte, das harte wahre Begebenheiten aus dem afrikanischen Dschungel reflektiert. Er zeigt sie zwar wirklich naturalistisch (mein Magen war schon lange nicht mehr so verkrampft!), in Kombination mit dem US-amerikanischen Pathos und dem Star-Gesicht von Bruce Willis wirkt er aber unglaubwürdig. Tränen der Sonne kann man auch als puren Actionfilm wahrnehmen, der etwas mehr sein möchte. Wegen des langsamen und langweiligen Drehbuchs ist er aber nicht einmal ein zufriedenstellender Actionfilm.

Fugua can deliver, but here he struggles with a lousy script and half-baked dialogue. Really, the only worthwhile thing in this film is the scene of the ethnic cleansing in a Nigerian village, which is both excellently shot and makes the ignorant realise that Africa is a world where human life has no value. If the rest had been in a similar vein, this would have been a great anti-war film. As it is, it's just another useless Hollywood crap that's dull in thought, with not much action either, and a typically Hollywood clichéd ending. So, sorry, this didn’t work out.

The surprise of recent times. I didn't think I'd see Bruce Willis in a good movie again, given what he's been doing for the last few years. A captivating rainforest setting, a group of elite marines, a group of Nigerian rebels on their heels, some twist and turns, amazing action, dosed sparingly but very intense, working emotions and empathy, decent pacing and gorgeous visuals. Actually, almost a full score. 85%.

A lot of angry Bruce Willis, an unbearably wooden Monica Bellucci, the jungle, gunshots, dust, and injustice. To top it off, one big and very unbelievable twist against orders, cliches that are sometimes annoying, and an irritatingly optimistic message that hurts. All in the packaging of Hans Zimmer's surprisingly tired composition and big black-and-white peace propaganda. I occasionally quite like Antoine Fuqua, but the claim that he's really good at making empty movies has never been more true.

At the beginning it drags on slowly and the only thing that looked any good is the surrounding jungle and Bruce Willis in camouflage kit holding a machine gun. The African jungle seemed to be asleep all the time. Where are the snakes, the spiders and other critters that could make this group’s journey a little more unpleasant? Take a look at Rescue Dawn and you’ll see what I mean. It’s all so artificial. Tears of the Sun tries to touch us with humanity and good deeds by hard guys who until now behaved like robots. And the only thing that Fuqua gave to this movie are lens filters, amazing views of African nature and a solid action ending which digs this picture up from the gray average. 3
