Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
teamroper620 If the producers, screenwriters, and director would have actually read the book; they would have known they had a possible franchise that could possibly eclipse James Bond and Indiana Jones. I say this because I have read very one of Clive Cusslers Dirk Pitt novels and Dirk Pitt, in the novels, is a combination of James Bond and Indiana Jones. Dirk Pitt is a great character that has the potential, if done correctly, to be Hollywood gold. If you don't believe me, just read one of the Dirk Pitt novels. I would suggest starting with Pacific Vortex, the first one in the series.
adrianjherr Somewhat ridiculous plot and occasionally corny script. The movie drags from around 1/3rd to 1/2 of the way through but then picks up and becomes more interesting. Respectable family friendly action movie.
cinemajesty "Sahara" directed by Breck Eisner's dream of a Hollywood Movie of his own coming true, getting all the goods from Producer Mace Neufeld, a closer friend of his father's Michael Eisner, former Walt Disney CEO (1984-2005), engaging quite a cast from Matthew McConaughey to Penélope Cruz over Steve Zahn to William H. Macy and Delroy Lindo to follow anticipating times of another "Indiana Jones" movie to be released in Spring 2005 to an extent of throwing the script overboard and enjoy the ride over eye-popping action, slapstick ingredients and a romance between the two leads that could not fool the U.S. audience to let the movie become a smash hit with an 130 Million U.S. Dollar production budget and 65 Million U.S. Dollars in domestic revenue; too loose have been tight all the knots of the screenplay together by the end of it that I am surprised that even after a review 12 and a 1/2 year later, we still can have such an entertaining "Sahara" time with so much non-sense at once on our hands.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
grantss Dumb. Initial plot was interesting, and there were one or two good action sequences, but that's it. Rest of the movie is incredibly crap. Random plot, far-fetched action, very stupid dialogue.The fact that Steve Zahn appears in this should be enough to tell you this is not going to be a good movie. He is clueless, and only gets crap movies. This is pretty much a standard role for Matthew McConaughey, before he started acting in serious movies.Penelope Cruz deserves better (though I didn't mind seeing her at all!). You feel sorry for her, having to recite incredibly dumb lines when you know she is capable of much better roles and performances.I enjoyed the Clive Cussler / Dirk Pitt books as a kid. This movie may have just put me off them.
