Customer Reviews

“You do throw like a girl.”

Based on a Clive Cussler novel. In the Civil war Virginia, the ironclad “Texas” disappears. In present-day Africa, there is a plague outbreak. People with ulterior motives pursue Dr. Eva Rojas (Penélope Cruz) while investigating the plague. She has to be saved and assisted by treasure hunters, including Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey in green contacts and dark hair), looking for the misplaced “Texan.” Other than the standard Indiana Jones formula, the most annoying part is the loud background music that overwhelms the scenes. However, they were clever with the use of “Magic Carpet Ride” at the appropriate time. Everyone except Penélope was hairy-faced. Passes time well. However, nothing exceptional.
