Bruce Willis' unfortunate retirement from acting has created a wave of nostalgia among action film enthusiasts, reminiscing over the memorable roles he's played. Among these is "Tears of the Sun," a 2003 action drama directed by Antoine Fuqua, known for "The Equalizer" trilogy. The film has experienced a resurgence in popularity on the free streaming platform Tubi, reaching the third spot on its most-watched list as of October 1, a position it maintains to this day (source: FlixPatrol).

In "Tears of the Sun," Willis portrays Navy SEAL A. K. Waters, who, along with his team, is sent to Nigeria with the mission to extract U.S. citizen and humanitarian worker Dr. Lena Fiore Kendricks, played by Monica Bellucci, from a Catholic mission amidst the country's turmoil. However, Kendricks refuses to leave without her patients and fellow doctors, exponentially complicating their mission. The SEALs must navigate through the jungle to ensure everyone's safety.

Will they all get out in one piece? One thing's for sure -- what didn't get out safe was the film's reputation among critics.
