Review of Sahara

Sahara (2005)
7/10
If you like the books you'll like the movie.
8 April 2005
Well, if you're hankering for an action movie like the first Matrix, Sahara will not be for you. But if you liked the books, Matthew McConaughy does a surprisingly good job.

Dirk Pitt is slicker than James Bond, always has the witty comebacks, and always, always, always survives death to win the girl. He's too good to be true. The movie certainly tries to keep it a fun, quick ride as long as you suspend your disbelief before the previews are over.A lot of audience laughter was over the amusing MacGyver style antics - which is also a Cussler trademark.

Excellent popcorn movie. But don't expect to be wowed or amazed. Standard action fare with a couple of truly funny moments.
