- A far, far cry from “Lawrence of Arabia,” but it has its diversions.
- 40EmpireAngie ErrigoEmpireAngie ErrigoAmbitious 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.
- 40The GuardianAndrew PulverThe GuardianAndrew PulverThere'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.
- 40Total FilmTotal FilmBanderas hams and Pinto flutters. If it weren’t for Strong and some colourful art direction, you could chalk this up as a busted well.
