Posted: 4/23/2005A review of Sahara by vavalley0
This is such a fun movie; don't expect a dramatic epic, in spite of the very serious environmental issue underlying the plot. Penelope Cruz gives a classy portrayal of a professional woman with a heart, balancing the female interest in an action movie with the dignified W.H.O. doctor on a mission to save lives. Her fellow W.H.O. doctor also developed a rich persona in his supporting role. The other lead actors likewise showed balance among conflicting emotional pressures of the joy of the hunt, the playful comeraderie of long-time friends, and a desperate race to stop pollution from destroying Africa on its way to destroy the seas of the entire planet. The actors portraying the African warlords developed multi-dimentional, non-stereotypical characters that were very dramatic, especially the Tuareg leader. So this movie and the director and actors deserve much more credit than they are getting, IMHO, and I would recommend this to anyone. It has plenty of action and adventure for the guys and you won't be embarrassed to take your children, sister and mother along.
