Just dont go expecting complex moral and ethical quandaries and youll likely never think of Ishtar even once.

A robust soundtrack (by Clint Mansell) seasoned with Southern rock n roll and African pop underlines the jaunty mood.

About as good as a big, stupid American action movie can be without ever being anything better than a big, stupid American action movie.

If you base your viewing pleasure on action rather than plot, then Sahara should definitely be at the top of your must see list.

This is a big, lively romp, filmed in a lushly expansive epic style even though its basically low rent James Bond.

Ironically, it probably would have been a better idea to lose even more of the plot, since what remains is mostly soundbites between action setpieces.
