Tears Of The Sun (2003)

Better than I thought it would be. Gets right into the story with Bruce and the villagers. Some of the moments felt manipulated to get a reaction from the audience, but others were quite touching and/or disturbing. More fighting and action than I predicted. Reminded me in some ways of Three Kings, which is a much better movie.

Rating: C+

A Lonely Place To Die (2011)

I didn’t know anything about this film going in, so I thought it was a mountain climbing adventure and then a horror film before realizing it was an action thriller. Not your typical kidnapping ransom story.

I like that it takes the point of view of the people who stumbled upon the captive. After that, a lot of people die. Pretty much almost everyone who comes in contact with the little girl. A bit uneven, but watchable.
