Despite the vast beauty of location settings in Morocco and Spain, the vast lack of chemistry between the two stars is appalling. full review

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. full review

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

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

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

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. full review

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. full review

Let's hope today's 10-year-old boys aren't too jaded by Matrix reruns to enjoy this for the good clean fun that it is. full review

Productions this guiltlessly corny need real personalities to sell them, and unlike the dull National Treasure, Sahara has a few. full review

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. full review

It's about good ol' boys on a rip-snorting adventure, and to that end, it succeeds. full review

Stands as one more bit of throwback entertainment that's better than I expected -- and not much more.

McConaughey and his co-stars make the case that fun, however fleeting, is still fun. full review

Whatever it lacks in substance it makes up for in gloss, humor and thrills, and a good time should be had by all. full review

Good-natured enough to entertain here and there, but that otherwise loses its way long before the characters complete their implausible quest. full review

I enjoyed this movie on its own dumb level, which must mean (I am forced to conclude) in my own dumb way. full review

Eisner shows himself to be a solid helmer of complex and beautifully staged action sequences with a sure ear for character interplay and an exact eye for glorious widescreen framing with nods to images from Lawrence of Arabia. full review

A testosterone-drenched escapade that misses because it lacks the tension to make it a thrill ride. full review

It's a little hard to have silly fun when you are constantly being reminded that Hotel Rwanda and similar stories have been playing out down the road. full review
