Treasure hunter Dirk Pitt(Matthew McConaughy) heads to the deserts of West Africa in search of a lost Civil War battleship known as the "Ship of Death." In the process he stumbles on a beautiful doctor(Penelope Cruz) who is there investigating a plague that is killing many people. This film also stars William H. Macy, Lambert Wilson, and Steve Zahn. I found this film a little slow at the beginning, but it more entertaining as the time went on. The acting was subpar, but worked. One thing I don't understand is how two guys and pull the back of a pickup truck across and African desert for a long period of time until they find a broken down airplane, which somehow they magically get to work. However, other then that the rest of the film worked just enough for me to give it a recommendation. |
