For those of you that are strict Dirk Pitt fans please forgive this film. To enjoy this film you need to detach the Dirk Pitt from the Clive Cussler novels a bit and simply enjoy the movie.
It is a good movie, fun, funny, adventurous and satisfying. It moves along at a very good pace and is worth watching on the big screen. The teaming of Matthew McConaughey (Pitt) and Steve Zahn as Giordino works about 80% of the time and it really works well when they have the banter when things get hot. The plot is well written drawing much of it from the novel and throwing in some interesting twists and smiles.
I plan to put this in my DVD library for several reasons but mostly because it is a pretty decent action film that does not need language, nudity or large bloody events to move the story along a rare thing these days.
