Tears Of The Sun – Prime Objective

cover art frontby geKKo
What is it about? This is a faster cut that focuses on the Navy SEALs doing their mission. Much of the priest/nuns screentime have been cut. Some redundant exposition involving the ethnic cleansing have been minimized. It is less preachy and simply about the SEALs doing their job.
