Sahara

[andrewducker]

Went to see Sahara last night with poisonduk and tisme (eduard_green having dropped out at the last moment).

The hero managed to:
1) Get the Girl
2) Kill the Baddies
3) Save the Entire Planet

This film, sadly, wasn't great.  Not acively bad, just not terribly good.  Sub James-Bond/Indiana Jones.  Likable enough characters, but no real meat to it.

Also, the background music was done by Clint Mansell, who also did Requiem For a Dream, a far far better movie.  I suspect there are about 3 people on my friends list who can spot the link to him further up.  One of them is almost certainly spidermonster.

Yes, but did he manage to dish out ruff justice?

I didn't know that Clint Mansell composed for films. Thanks for the heads-up. ^_^

I have his Requiem for a Dream soundtrack - amazing stuff. He bounces off the Kronos Quartet, with them doing cellos and him doing electronica.

Now you've spoiled the whole plot. I was so looking forward to seeing that film, but now I suppose there's no point.

A review which validates my decision not to bother with it. Thanks!
