Sahara (2005)
2/10
Implausability taken to new heights
24 April 2005
I really tried to like this film. I have always been a fan of Steve Zahn and have been looking forward to a good Matthew McConaughey feature for some time. The film just finally wore me out. At every turn the audience is required to accept implausible events and amazing coincidences that border on the impossible. The river chase scene is one of a string of these incredible events. We are asked to accept the good fortune of the good guys in overcoming a small fleet of gun boats in their bosses yacht. If one of the thousands of rounds fired at the yacht had hit the hull is would have sunk. By the outrageously silly end of the film I found myself actually watching it with my hand covering my face.

Others seemed to enjoy it but it was just too stupid for me.
