Tears of the Sun

Great flick! Much better than Blackhawk Down. I'm pretty ignorant regarding Nigerian History, but this was a hell of a movie. It wasn't just the shoot-em-up action movie, I expected to see. I'm sure history buffs will find many major flaws, but it was damn entertaining, and thats why I go to movies. Time to google on Nigeria, now...

I thought Tears of the Sun was pure fiction. http://www.theonionavclub.com/avclub3908/cinema3908.html[^] ------------------------------------------ "What happened in that Rhode Island club is shocking.

I think the main plot was fiction, but the setting of the civil war, etc. was based on fact. BW "We get general information and specific information, but none of the specific information talks about time, place or methods or means..." - Tom Ridge - US Secretary of Homeland Security
