Featured reviews
A great road movie set in Africa.
Two old friends decide to set out to visit a companion they traveled with decades ago who is now apparently dying in Timbuktu. They pick up his his long estranged daughter and set forth. There is adventure and mis-adventure as they pick up an assortment of different characters on the road.
Nice way to pass an evening. Plot isn't rock science, but well made and the characters are plausibly good and likeable.
Really enjoyed this, it had everything you would wanted in a feel-good road-trip movie.
A very charming film with a multicultural cast, each adding his own talent to a sensitive and sometimes comic story. Light and well written, it takes us on a transaarinen journey, that offers a visually interesting glimpse of deep Africa (from Tangiers/Morocco to Timbuktu/Mali) on board of a french iconic car: the Renault 4L, best known in France as "catrelle". Also a self-discovery journey, as the relationship among the characters and with the challenges of the desert unfold.
It,s a surprisingly nice movie.the goal of the movie is completely right a road trip between friends. While there were a few boring moments but still a nice movie The movie was done in a completely different manner and a more comercial movie maybe with a bigger Budget the movie would have been more epic more like a adventure movie.Jean Reno did a great job but this is not his typical action thriller or goofy comedy. The rest of the supporting cast also good.The plot development was weak but it,s still a nice movie to enjoy on DVD or television.most spanish and non spanish speaking can enjoy this movie about friendship and so much more.Jean Reno is a very talented actors
