Sahara Reviews
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2006
Pity, because McConaughey is born to play Pitt. Whether his shirt is on or off (personally I prefer the later) the actor cuts a dashing figure.

Just don't go expecting complex moral and ethical quandaries and you'll likely never think of Ishtar even once.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 23, 2005
Despite the vast beauty of location settings in Morocco and Spain, the vast lack of chemistry between the two stars is appalling.

Sahara is many things, but it is not a movie. It is the skull-splitting cacophony of 21 producers and four screenwriters (that we know about, anyway) standing in the same room shouting into their cell phones.

Pitt seems to get by entirely on dumb ideas and reckless luck. In the end, he's an action hero in name only.

It drove me crazy. It made National Treasure look like a documentary.

McConaughey's no Harrison Ford. And no one cracks the whip of originality.

A mediocrity wrapped inside a banality, toasted in a nice, fresh cliche.

Unlike Raiders of the Lost Ark, which this movie wants so desperately to be, there's nothing here to engage the brain along with the eyeballs.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 8, 2005
Entertaining but flawed popcorn fare.

This one has everything: stereotyped characters, shaky camera work, absurdly inappropriate pop songs on the soundtrack, a confused tone, misplaced zaniness and a nonsensical story.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 8, 2005
The one-liners, mostly bland, are used so liberally that they water down the action.

Eisner is not remotely up to the challenge. Spending millions on action scenes does not mean you get them right.

It's about good ol' boys on a rip-snorting adventure, and to that end, it succeeds.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 8, 2005
McConaughey and his co-stars make the case that fun, however fleeting, is still fun.

Whatever it lacks in substance it makes up for in gloss, humor and thrills, and a good time should be had by all.
| Apr 8, 2005
Good-natured enough to entertain here and there, but that otherwise loses its way long before the characters complete their implausible quest.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 8, 2005
I enjoyed this movie on its own dumb level, which must mean (I am forced to conclude) in my own dumb way.
