Hi all, a friend sent me this review from CNN SHOWBIZ and it's a little more positive than some of the others, and I don't think I've seen it on here yet. Take it the same as other reviews, though, (with a grain of salt) because while it is positive I still disagree with some of what is said. Enjoy!

"Review: 'Sahara' a spirited good time"
"Movie boosted by acting, action, humor"
"The movie is based on a novel by Clive Cussler, known for plots of improbable but enjoyable derring-do."
"Fortunately, the film's strengths lie in the chemistry between the three main characters and the popcorn-chomping pacing of director Breck Eisner"
"McConaughey and Zahn develop -- and manage to maintain -- a wonderful, well-oiled rhythm between their characters."
"You never doubt that Kazim is going to get his, however. The character is written so broadly he's a major weak spot in the film."
"The movie is also greatly enhanced by the mesmerizing desert landscapes of Morocco, captured to great effect by cinematographer Seamus McGarvey "
"The music, featuring both original scoring and some great old standards such as Steppenwolf's late-'60s "Magic Carpet Ride" offer a bit of whimsy to the story."
