Over the last couple of years I’ve started to become a Matthew McConaughey fan. The guy has a killer on screen charm to go with loads of talent that I think we’re all just starting to see. So it should come as no surprise that I’m looking forward to seeing Sahara.
The reviews for the film are starting to filter in now… and not surprisingly the review are like the trailer, mixed but leaning towards positive. Here’s what some of the critics have to say:
“As Hollywood actioners go these days, this one’s quite tolerable in its guilty-pleasure way. Feel free to saddle up.”
Peter Canavese, GROUCHO REVIEWS” Breck Eisner’s youthful, fresh grasp of the high-adventure genre. This should have been his audition reel for helming 007/21. ”

Overall it’s sounding like a fun summer brainless flick. I’m in. Add on top of that the fact that it also has Delroy Lindo and William H. Macy and it’s a solid cast overall… now if they could just edit out Penelope Cruz.
