    a dessert adventure

    Rachel goes to Jordan to identify her brother's body, there she is involved in a religious mystery with help of us agent, Jake. They get kidnapped, wander through the dessert, and of course, people whom seem like friends are really enemies.

    FINAL VERDICT: OK, reminded me of Romancing the Stone except this takes place in the dessert and it is not as good. OK for a background movie while you do other things.

    Charming and Delightful

    So much fun! A real delight, even after multiple viewings. If you haven't seen The Rendezvous yet, do so. Sit down with a bowl of popcorn - or plate of Christmas cookies with the family - and pretend you're in a movie theater back when films swept you into romance and adventure and good humor with over-the-top villains, crazy twists, and charming leads. Stana Katic and Raza Jaffrey have chemistry to spare. The direction, cinematography, and score are all topnotch.

    Okay but to many plot holes

    It's alright I mean I love Stana Katic she's amazing she's giving me kinda Castle vibes. Mostly because she's not a cop in this movie but just a civilian other than that there are to many plot holes there is not really an explanation about who the whole tattoo group is other than people who believe in God. The story ark is alright little predictable but what are you gonna do about that right. But again Stana is amazing!

    A fun romantic adventure

    This film has some plot problems, and there are a couple of pivotal scenes that were less than perfectly executed, but it's just so darn charming that it's easy to overlook any flaws and get swept away by the breathtaking cinematography, beautiful score, and engaging performances by the two main actors.

    Katic and Jaffrey have the kind of chemistry every filmmaker dreams of for their romantic leads but very few get. There's such a distinct Old Hollywood vibe to their interactions that it makes you nostalgic for the good old days when movies were there to provide fun entertainment and escapism, not weigh you down with grit and stark realism. Their banter is witty and well-paced without feeling forced or cliché, and while at times your modern mindset may wish the script would allow for some deeper emotional reactions to the subject matter, it's their uncontainable charm and playfulness that make this movie worthwhile.

    It's also refreshing to see a Muslim-American man as the romantic hero, who works for the government, cracks lame jokes, brushes off stereotypes with nonchalance, rolls his eyes in frustration at extreme religious ideology, and overall acts like an ordinary guy who finds himself on a wild adventure with an ordinary gal, who just happens to be Jewish. (This dynamic was much more of a focus and explored in much greater detail in the book this movie is based on, A New Song by Sarah Isaias, but is treated as no big deal in the movie, which felt like a bit of a missed opportunity but also was strangely encouraging at the same time. Because maybe it IS no big deal, and people from different religions really CAN respect each other as people and work together and even be attracted to each other without challenging the other's belief system or getting hung up on their differences. Crazy thought, right?) Hollywood needs more of this.

    Bottom line: This is a fun little adventure film, a treasure hunt, a romantic comedy with a little something extra to make you think, and I highly enjoyed it.

    Decent movie if you don't mind smaller films.

    I thought this movie was interesting and kinda fun. Acting not bad and locations were cool. People may think the plot was far fetched but it's a movie and end of the world conspiracies are always good places to start. If you like to watch Indy or smaller films then you'll enjoy this.

      Jake Al-Shadi: [lost in the desert] Come on, change of plan. We're walking.

      Rachel Rozman: Where are we headed?

      Jake Al-Shadi: I'm Bedouin. I can get us out.

      Rachel Rozman: With what, your Bedouin radar?

      Jake Al-Shadi: My birth name is Yakub Al-Shadi. My grandfather lived in a tent. It's in my blood.

      Rachel Rozman: Jake, you were raised in Ohio.

      Jake Al-Shadi: I came back in the summers.

      Rachel Rozman: For what? For Bedouin camp? You have a desk job. You weren't even able to get us out of that market today without a GPS.

      Jake Al-Shadi: I'm gonna get us out of here. I promise. We'll find some Bedouins or some camels.
