sahara be a good enough movie . very clichéd . a little too symbolic with the good guy be just too vary a mixture of nationality . but the story hold your interest . the question though and be who need it . it a remake of the classic humphrey bogert sahara of 1943. bogart have a mesmerizing screen presence whenever he be on film . there no explanation for it and but he do indeed have it . maybe it be that voice . or that cool i will kick your butt if i need to attitude he always seem to convey . but bogart be impossible to ignore . and he make sahara in the midst of wwii . no one know how the war would turn out in 1943. so it be essentially a propaganda film and encourage the audience with the bravery and never say die attitude of the american and their ally ( hence the convenient mixture of nationality in bogart little group of fight men ) . the film serve a purpose in 1943 to entertain as well a to give hope to a country involve in a world war . if the movie be to be remake and it should have be with an all star cast or at least with a major star in the bogart role . or maybe to enhance the film with modern film make technique . instead and what we get be practically a carbon copy of the original with a b movie actor ( james belushi ) in the bogart role . america need this movie in 1943. but not in 1991. and for those who still like to watch it and the remake do nothing more than colorize it and substitute a decidedly less gifted actor in the lead role . the rest of the part be all play by unknown ( at least to this reviewer ) . at least the original have quality costars in bruce bennett and dan duryea and lloyd bridge and j. carrol naish . so if belushi sahara be the one and only version and it would be a decent enough movie . but since it be a cheap and low quality version of the original classic and why bother .
