United States | Entertainment Weekly | "Insanely busy, exceedingly long, and sometimes endearingly preposterous" | NEU |
United Kingdom | Empire | "About as good as a big, stupid American action movie can be without ever being anything better than a big, stupid American action movie" | NEU |
United States | The Washington Post | "McConaughey remains more buffed than compelling. He's not helped by a two-hour convolution of episodes that are too busy imitating other, better movies" | NEG |

United States | Miami Herald | "It's not that 'Sahara' is offensively bad: It's just that the picture, loud and busy as it is, never really finds its own identity" | NEU |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "Any movie starring Penelope Cruz or William H. Macy can't be all bad. And 'Sahara', which stars both Penelope Cruz and William H. Macy, proves the point: It isn't all bad" | NEU |
