If only 0 was an option for voting. I see a lot of movies and this is for sure the worst in the last 18 months. Do you pick on the unfocused direction, hokey committee writing , ugly cinematography or crap acting? So many choices. A night school course on how to use a scope lense without squeezing and stretching peoples' faces would have been handy. But let's look to the positive- what did this flick teach us? Africa ROCKS!!! Every time something needs to happen big rock blares out for no good reason, the Africans don't even seem to notice it- then again- Africans don't notice people (SPOILER)kicking the entire back out of a pick up truck, leaping onto a train from camels in the middle of the desert etc etc. To be honest McConnaughey and Cruz are always light weight, they're not stars, the action based on a Clive Cussler book is the star. Sadly this star was strangled, sodomized and left to bleed to death in a Nigerian back alley. One look at how the writers credits are arranged on the title card warns of direness to come. Surprises are few and far between, at one stage i leaned over to my movie buddy and said "if this prick uses the damn ironclad ship buried in the desert to shoot down a helicopter I'll scream" He did, I did. Actually this isn't worth continuing, just don't.
