Seasoned adventurer and treasure hunter Dirk Pitt, a former Navy SEAL, sets out for the African desert with his wisecracking buddy Al in search of a confederate ironclad battleship rumored to have vanished long ago, the main draw being the treasure supposedly hidden within the lost vessel.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I really don't like some of the negative reviews here. Words like "Literary work" and "Clive Cussler" really shouldn't be in the same sentence.Hey...chill...I love Clive Cussler, I honestly do. In fact I'll put him in the same league as Elmore Leonard and Louis L'Amour and I will put them in the same league as Dumas and Doyle.They all write pulp fiction, adventure, crime, mystery, horror, whatever, they all fall under the title "pulp" and I can admit that I eat them whole, without swallowing......and without the need to call them "Literary" in an effort to save face.I have the academic degrees somewhere in a box, the intellectual prowess, and a library with enough classics and heady works of history and philosophy to be able to openly display writers like Chris Claremont, Marv Wolfman, and Timothy Zane to not have to call his work "Literature." I will however call it "Adventure" I will call it "Fun" and what should be most important to any writer or film maker..."Entertaining." It doesn't have to follow the book. Jackie Brown was a far cry from Rum punch and they were both a lot of fun to watch and read.So Sahara isn't like the novel.It is an Action-Adventure-Comedy. That means it is everything that pulp should be, it is everything that movies should be...In fact it is the kind of film that the critics would have loved in the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Master explorer Dirk Pitt goes on the adventure of a lifetime of seeking out a lost Civil War battleship known as the "Ship of Death" in the deserts of West Africa while helping a WHO doctor being hounded by a ruthless dictator. This film is basically National Treasure meets Indiana Jones and Sahara happened this movie has a lot of action, great suspense and the humor was pretty nice good as for the cast everyone did a great job with Matthew McConaughey, Penelope Cruz and Steve Zahn being the high point of the film. If you loved the first 2 franchises that i mentioned Sahara is no less than a great action packed adventure that nobody should miss.

Searching for a treasure on the River Niger, Dirk Pitt stops the attempted assassination of a W.H.O. scientist investigating a disease that is killing thousands of North Africans. The suspected cause of the raging epidemic is vast, unprecedented pollution that threatens to end all life in the world's seas. Racing to save the world from environmental catastrophe, Pitt and his team run a gauntlet between a billionaire French industrialist and a bloodthirsty West African tyrant. In the desert, Pitt uncovers the truth behind his life-long quest - the fate of a Civil War ironclad. Now, amidst the blazing, shifting sands of the Sahara, Pitt will make a desperate stand......Sometimes when a summer movie comes along, you can just tell it's going to bomb from the upstart. The trailer was boring, the one sheet showed all the stars looking smug and pleased with themselves, and the biggest mistake it could have made, thinking that it could be the next big franchise.When there are talks about a fourth Indiana Jones movie in the works, don't release a similar movie based on a best selling series of novels, because it's going to get way too much more coverage than it deserves, and then the flaws with the film begin to show rapidly.Firstly, it's way too long, by a good twenty minutes. If you took out most of the shots with McConaughy smiling and looking smug, the run time would be a lot slimmer, so the action would feel a lot more taught.The soundtrack is just a little too wacky for the film, in fact, the wacky scenes in the film just feel so out of place, when the main villain is some maniacal dictator who really is a sinister being. The humour is tepid and bland, and the running joke regarding the boat just makes Macy seem like some whining queen.Cruz is at her lowest point here, literally the love interest, and eye candy for the bored gents in the audience.It's too violent to be a family film, too long to be as exciting as it should, and the comedic moments really drag the film down.Dirk Pitt? Now, what's that word that rhymes with Pitt?

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.
