Film 64: "Sahara"

Lazy day, take two.

Synoahpsis:
This turned out to be one of those big action explodey movies. Quite cool. The story here is that two treasure hunters venture to war-torn Mali in search of an American civil war iron iron ship they believe floated all the way there. They encounter a team of W.H.O. doctors investigating a mysterious plague which is taking the lives of hundreds of villagers all over remote regions of Western Africa. But with a private military seeking to eliminate the adventurers chasing them all over the deserts of the country, this plague seems to be more than meets the eye.

The best bit
The firing of a Civil War-era canon directly into an enemy Hewy gunship mid-air was awesome. The boat chase wasn't too bad either.

Marks out of ten: An unique plot rare in a block-busting ensemble of hollywood A-listers and special effects brought up the score of an otherwise predictable, contrived and unbelievable film... so I'm giving it a 5.5
