Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt and friends are on the big screen. What fun....action, action, and more action. A first rate cast including Matther McConaughey, Penelope Cruz, William H. Macy, and Steve Zahn. The dialogue could have been snappier, but the action more than makes up for it. There's a lot going on at all times, and several plots that are pulled together nicely at the end. My hubby is a huge Cussler fan and has read all of his novels. He said that "Sahara" holds true for about 75 percent of the book...........I recommend it if you just want to escape into adventure........... :agree: 42
