Movie propaganda
He was trained to follow orders. He became a hero by defying them.
Lieutenant AK Waters (Bruce Willis), the loyal veteran officer of a US Navy SEAL unit, travels to war-torn Nigeria to rescue Doctor Lena Kendricks (Monica Bellucci), who runs a mission in the countryside. But when Lieutenant Waters arrives, Doctor Kendricks refuses to abandon the refugees under her care. She implores Waters to escort them on a dangerous trek through the dense jungle to the nearby border of Cameroon. During the journey the SEALs find themselves the unwitting guardians of a man sought by the rebel militia. This further endangers their already hazardous mission. But all the while it strengthens Water's resolve to protect Lena - for whom he has developed feelings - and the refugees, and to deliver them safely across the border.

Theatrical report
Running around in the jungle shooting things.
Mixing parts of Behind enemy lines (except that it's summer in Africa, not winter in Europe) with parts of Black hawk down (except that they're saving endangered civilians, not endangered soldiers), Tears of the sun is one of those cool "running around in the jungle shooting things" movies. Everyone runs around in the jungle shooting things. It's cool.
