Sahara
I went into this movie hearing that it sucked. Well, I liked it! It is mindless summer fun. It’s funny and action packed. It revolves around a couple of ex-Navy Seal guys, Matthew McConaughey and Steve Zahn, who are treasure hunters. They are looking for a missing Civil War boat that carries rare Confederate gold coins. Along their way they meet Penelope Cruz a doctor who is researching a virus. They travel to Africa, encounter a warlord and an evil businessman. There is lots of great action, chase sequences and funny quips between the co-stars. I enjoyed the film, but the only thing that annoyed me is they had to put a romance between Penelope and Matthew…*sigh* why? It made me roll my eyes and want to vomit. Keep the cheesy romance out! They have no on-screen chemistry together!
3 out of 5 stars. A good video rental.
