What Parents Need to Know
About Tears of the Sun
Parents need to know that this movie has very strong language (including racial epithets), intense peril, execution of non-military citizens, and brutal battle violence. Many characters are wounded or killed. A woman is mutilated.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how countries decide whether to intervene in other countries' fights. Does the movie intentionally comment on the current international situation? How well does or doesn't it make its case? Why did A.K. stop caring and when did he start again?

Alright
Not a very good movie, I think it's too realistic. I'm used to action movies like Die Hard, The Matrix, or Hot Fuzz where the focus is not on the amount of people killed, or seeing how much gore you can fit into one scene.

Moving war movie
I thought this was an extremely well done moving film sensitively dealing with a hot topic. It moved me to tears and I was caught up in the emotions of the characters. Violent of course but overall excellent.
