Mar 4, 201350A far, far cry from “Lawrence of Arabia,” but it has its diversions.
-
40Ambitious but very tedious and talkatively hackneyed, redeemed just a smidge by the money shots of a swarm of extras on horseback sweeping across the sands.

40There's undoubtedly a good film to be made out of the scramble for oil in the Arabian desert in the 1920s – but this, for all its herculean efforts, is not it.
-
0There's an enormous amount of perverse pleasure to be had here for those who get off on the annihilation of nuance.
