This is easily one of my favorite films. My favorite shot in the film is of the soldier whose final act is to pull his body on top of the woman he was trying to save. Place his body between hers and the danger. If only I could die so nobly.

I served with a SEAL. He left the teams and the NAVY for his family. He missed serving so he joined the Coast Guard reserves. Dude was literally the most put together person I served with. He was put on active duty after 9/11 and assigned to my unit. He said that this was as close to realistic that he had watched.

[@russellvangorder2926]

If I remember correctly, a extra who was an elderly man apart of the group was there around the time of the military coup. I took this quote off a trivia page, "While the SEALs and the refugees are outside of the village during the ethnic cleansing, the elderly man crying was not planned. The gunfire and screaming caused him to start crying because it was so similar to things that had happened to him in his earlier years. It was something that they had run into several times throughout production."

[@drloki1969]

Many of the extras were ACTUAL refugees. That scene effected most of them that way.

[@chrisreed3040]

Dude u just made me cry. U suck lol.

[@jamesbednar8625]

Correct. It is on the extra's of the DVD. Director wanted people that actually lived through that nightmare and had them flown to Hawaii where the movie was made. A lot of the people just broke down and cried.

[@TheOneFox37]

One thing about this movie is that ita based on a true story. The writers took a few liberties of course. The real operation took place in Colombia and was not executed by the Navy Seals, but by Canadians JTF2. Still a great movie though. Just a bit disapointed the JTF2 didnt get its chance too shine, me being Canadian and all.

@@GhostEye31The best written account is from We were invincible, By Denis Morissette, no official accounts, though, all JTF2 missions are highly classified, and Morissette is currently in jail.

One should also add that none of the JTF2 operators were killed or injured during the mission. They straight up dunked on the militia xD

[@wubranch1]

Fuqua did a great job, and there were amazing ex-seals who were consultants on the action of the film. Also, some members of the extras in the extraction group were survivors of real ethnic cleansing events, and those were real of trauma when they looking at the village scene.

[@locustfire75]

Years later, this movie is still good. Underrated indeed

[@generic_sauce]

This is a heavy movie, but I honestly get a kick from when they bomb the militia at the end. Especially when the enemy captain is screaming in terror before he's incinerated. Not so tough now, huh punk?

[@jarredondo355]

As a retired vet this movie always brings me to tears. To see the atrocities were capable of inflicting on one another makes me lose faith in the human race but also to see poodle willing to sacrifice everything for what's runt anal gives me hope.

[@secludedmisanthrope6388]

I was stationed on Oahu at Marine Corps Base Hawaii when this movie was being filmed on the island. The film production reached out to the military bases on island and asked if any of the military personnel fitting a certain description wanted to try out for background fighter roles in the movie. Quite a few did and one was named SSgt Bourgeois a Marine in my company at the time. I was in the 3rd Marines CSSG-3 in the Maintenance Company and he was one of our Staff NCO's. He was a beast in the gym and on the PT field and they snatched him right up. If you watch the trailer SSgt Bourgeois is on screen firing a shoulder mounted RPG at 0:48 into the trailer.

[@JP-pk4ly]

The scene in the beginning where that man was gunned down haunts me. As a veteran at FOB Iskandayriah, Iraq 2005. Hurts to remember what it's like without the protection and security of my beloved nation. Thank you for reactions.

This is why Saving Private Ryan changed war movies forever. To show the effects of war on a different level a prospective of people who aren't military but have to live and work in a war zone. These people who take care of those in war zones are heroes as well as well as those soldiers who have rescued them.

First off, a big shout out to Devin G! Brother Love watching you watch some of my favorite movies, you bring an almost child like excitement to your movie watching experience so much so you've spoiled me to the point that I don't want to watch a movie without you sitting next to me hooping and hollering one second and the next you're dropping peals of wisdom. Here's a fun fact for you about the making of this spectacular move, I'M a copywriter in advertising and my client is Toyota, We sold them a campaign for their Rav-4 and the commercial was called "Staycation", it was all set in New Orleans and we hired Mr. Antoine Fuqua to direct it, on a break in shooting He shared with me about the issues he had with fan favorite actor Bruce Willis, and how he would undermine every decision he made as the director so much so that he NEVER wants to work with him again. Devin G keep building your brand brother, you've got yourself a life long fan with me, peace brother.

My Drill SGTs showed my PLT this one during blue phase of my Army BCT. Great flick! Thanks for this one!

One of my favorite movies, brutal that village scene

[@wonkothesane8691]

Tribal conflicts, from what little I understand, run deep and go back generations in some nations. The desire for revenge is the most foolish and insane of human emotions; it sentences everyone it touches to death and hell and unending madness. Where the desire for revenge lives, there is no hope, no freedom, no justice, no love and no peace.

[@puterbac]

Reminds me of the Somali militiaman talking about Somalia will always be at war and it’s their fight in Black Hawk Down.

[@Thane36425]

Glad you liked the movie, Devin. I was one of those who suggested it to ya. I knew you'd connect with the African motif with this one. Don't know which version you watched, but there's a Director's Cut that was available on DVD back in the day. And it had some extended scenes during the village raid. I think most restored scenes were basically the Deleted scenes put back into the film when they could.

Awesome reaction video!!!! FINALLY - someone watches this movie and reacts to it!!! One of my favorite. The villagers ACTUALLY lived through those atrocities depicted in the movie and their reactions at the village where the enemy soldiers were "ethnic-cleansing" the villagers are very REAL. According to the DVD extra's, the director wanted actual people that lived through that nightmare in Africa. Also, the DVD has quite a few deleted scenes that actually ENHANCE the story line, WHY they were cut out (other than movie run-time) is quite baffling. Also, suggest watching the 1970s "The Wild Geese" - AWESOME MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOTH movies are quite similar and I always considered "Tears of the Sun" as a great Remake of that movie.

[@RichardSeyler-o2w]

[@jculver1674]

Bruce Willis is a big military supporter, that's why he wanted to make this movie. He also spent years trying to get a movie made about Deuce Four (the 24th Infantry Regiment) and the Battle of Mosul in Iraq, but he couldn't get any of the studios to make it.
