I have boycotted Hollywierd and have not seen a movie since right after 9/11. But I will make an effort to go see Bruce Willis' film though. He deserves to be number one at the box office! He is the only Hollywierd star who offered to fight for his country. I have alot of respect for that man!

I agree, support Bruce Willis...the only thing that makes a statement in Hollyweird is $$.

Yours is a good idea, but this should be the exception. Areafiftyone is right: don't subsidize those unpatriotic individuals in Hollywood by seeing their movies. Even seeing the Bruce Willis movie helps them (the director, for example).

Good intentions, but here's what's going to happen this weekend at the movies: BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE, with Steve Martin and Queen Latifah will TRIPLE the box office of TEARS OF THE SUN, at least. It will likely even QUADRUPLE it. Reality: People want to laugh right now.

Whats sad is, is that every single review I read for the movie, rips the movie apart, and even worse, not on the movies merits, but on politics alone.

Saw it yesterday. The left won't like it because it shows the U.S. military in a good light. It also shows what a cesspool Africa is.

This movie must look to much like "Americans in Srbrenicia" for European tastes.

I just went to a matinee showing of this movie. It was quite moving--in fact I was moved to tears a couple of times.
Definitely a lot of action, but it shouldn't be classified as an action film, more of a drama as others have said here. Yes, a lot of the reviews weren't great, but a few turned up that were positive enough that I wanted to see this one.
And I don't know why it's getting such bad reviews, other than BW's politics. I've seen awful movies that I've had to walk out of, that critics rave about.
The theatre was packed too! Many young fellows among the audience, guys in their late teens to 20s, and a lot of fathers with their pre-teen sons.
I would definitely recommend it. Some reviewers have complained that the plot was thin, but maybe I just didn't notice it, the story was quite engrossing and emotional, in fact.

I'll see it today!

My wife and I also went to see it last night. It was almost sureal watching such as pro-USA movie from Hollywood. I love the ending with the guy's fist in the air yelling "freedom" and the Edmund Burke quote at the end...nice touch.
As we exited there were a couple of people asking us to rate the movie by putting our ticket stubs into a box--I dropped them both in the 3.5 stars and later wished I had dropped them into the 4 stars box. I've never seen this done before, interesting.
We ended the night at a local restaurant where I ordered a white wine and insisted that it not be French. The young waitress looked confused and didn't "get it". My wife was completely embarrassed by this--she was raised by liberals and doesn't take a stand on anything (typical). The good news is that she is a conservative now--I was able to convert her a few years ago.
Good flick. We need to support it by giving it good reviews on the internet and elsewhere.

My husband and I went this afternoon. It was a good action movie. I had to close my eyes for some of the scenes. I don't know how graphic the missed scenes were.

Weekend's over, but we'll go this week.
Bruce bump!
