After reading most of Dirk Pitt books, and expecting a lot, I wasn't too satisfied with the result. There was too little adventure and too much action. Still definitely a movie to watch and enjoy! I hope it was successful enough to justify a sequal.

I loved this movie. It was like watching a film from the 40's, but in modern times. Clean, a bit of romance and lots of derring-do. I'm not a Clive Cussler fan, so the fact that it wasn't like the book (so I've heard) didn't bother me. I read one Dirk Pitt book, and frankly, I think McConaughey improved him a lot. Loved the humor in this as well.
