A mild jump-scare.
A soldier explains to a woman that her and her colleagues will be killed by approaching fighters if they do not leave.
For a large portion of the movie, main characters are being tracked by soldiers who will likely kill them.
The many deaths and the violence throughout are very intense.
The intentional killing of innocent villagers by soldiers is very disturbing.
Tears of the Sun deals with the civil war in Nigeria and features scenes of ethnic cleansing, war atrocities, and a brief execution. Not for the faint of heart.
