Review of Sahara

Sahara (2005)
8/10
Avoids the typical trappings of the genre quite nicely . . .
1 April 2005
Yes, it's a buddy action pic - but it doesn't have all the annoying conventions typical to those type of films. Matt and Zahn do not spend the film fighting with each other, there is no sappy love story, Cruz and Matt don't start off hating each other and have to grow to love each other . . . none of that goop! It's just story and action from start to stop with some funny moments from Zahn along the way.

I expected a little more action, but that's my only gripe. Cruz was not in the film that much, so she didn't really get much chance to annoy me like she usually does. And the action that was there was fun and exciting. I'd recommend this film for theater viewing, if only for the final big explosion! Just don't expect Indiana Jones, and you'll enjoy it.
