Tears of the Sun - c/d

Old film, and probably more suitable on ILE, but I put it here so it won't get roasted so much because I loved this film. There was something about its team-oriented military specialty-ness that appealed to the kid in me who grew up with GI Joe. It starts off slow and murky, but once the attacking heats up, so did my interest. Of course there's the standard these are our boys and they have feelings too more so than the natives, but it was compelling to see Bruce et al stealthily take out the enemy a la Metal Gear Solid.

Subquestion: how differently does TotS to other military movies, and how does it stand vs. Black Hawk Down which I thought was fairly lame?

nb. Bellucci here looked like she should've looked in Matrix, and vice versa.
