Review of Sahara

Sahara (2005)
7/10
have to reread the book now
4 December 2005
Most of the negative comments about this movie can be summed up as follows: "I have a narrow mind and this movie just don't make sense". Let me tell these people not to read the book because it will make even less sense. Myself, I love Clive Cussler and his Dirk Pitt novels and this was a decent attempt to create a movie from one. (There was a previous attempt with Raise the Titanic but even high star power couldn't save that flop.) Personally if I could have picked the cast of the main characters I am not sure I would have chosen McCon. and Zahn but they worked. They missed a bunch of classic Dirkisms and Alisms that took away away some of their mystique but overall did a passing job. If you liked the movie you will love the book. If you are a Pitt fan - the movie entertains but it is not quite right.
