This film is like watching sand in an hour glass. A "4 hour" hour glass

Rating: 1/10 (2 February 2006)

The main character in this film is the desert.
The beginning of the film is desert.
The middle of the film is desert.
I wont spoil the ending.
I think its safe to say this film is dirt. But not just any old dirt. No this film is 'desert' dirt. 'Desert' being a new word for boring.
Without the desert they were on to a real winner. They could have had a 2 hour film. They could have had the same cast too since it was an Arabs need not apply affair anyways. The only Arab they actually used, Omar Sharif, is more English than English bob.
If I was asked to choose between watching the sand in this film, or the sand in a "4 hour" hour glass. I'd absolutely positively choose to look at the sand in this film because I'm not retarded. But you make that hour glass an hour shorter. Well lets just say I'd choose to be extremely bored for 3 hours instead of 4.
