For an adventure movie based on chase scenes in exotic locations "Sahara" never takes hold because director Breck Eisner and his team of screenwriters can't agree on what the story's about or what tone should resonate against it.

A pretty offensive comedy about Africans who range from primitive to demonic that, sorry, is just not funny.

It drove me crazy. It made National Treasure look like a documentary.

Sahara rather resembles National Treasure, another film with a strained story line and deadening lack of visual richness.

A mediocrity wrapped inside a banality, toasted in a nice, fresh cliche.

Sahara is many things, but it is not a movie. It is the skull-splitting cacophony of 21 producers and four screenwriters (that we know about, anyway) standing in the same room shouting into their cell phones.

Unlike Raiders of the Lost Ark, which this movie wants so desperately to be, there's nothing here to engage the brain along with the eyeballs.

McConaughey's no Harrison Ford. And no one cracks the whip of originality.

The whole movie is a kick, actually.

For "Sahara," the problem is that we have the Indiana Jones movies to compare it to, and I'm afraid there's no comparison. It's never more than a likable poseur.

Despite the vast beauty of location settings in Morocco and Spain, the vast lack of chemistry between the two stars is appalling.

Vapid, lengthy, and mostly lifeless -- kind of like the desert it's named for.
