average adventure movie that take a serious story and holywoodised it . the water down effect do particularly towards the average script snatch away this movie place a a would be solid classic . why water down such a great storyline . probably because it deal with sensitive colonial subject matter and the producer do not want to create political heat and just quick profit thank you . the directing and cinematography and soundtrack and acting be good . the screenplay be average . the charm of connery make up for his wrong arabic accent and all the scene with president t. roosevelt be masterpiece take . the costume or set here be very good . too bad we do not get more of a serious historical drama since this be what the story demand . only for big fan of the lead actor or fan of exotic romance or adventure holywood movie .
