Instant Favorite.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Movie is too boring , you can not finish it !!! Memories of stucked soldier with his foot over a mine , I wish the content has better ideas

Mike (Armie Hammer) and his colleague and spotter Tommy (Tom Cullen) are both tasked with assassinating a high profile terrorist. However, the assassination attempt fails and when they are spotted by the terrorists both men are forced to run for their lives across the desert. After evading capture, the two men decide to walk to the nearest village (after their GPS fails), but tragedy ensues when Tommy steps on a land mine (resulting in him losing both his legs). Things worsen when Mike also steps on a land mine, but he has the foresight to keep his foot on it (in order to not trigger an explosion). As a result of this, Mike is forced to endure several hours and days in the desert and must use all of his skills to try to survive this terrifying ordeal...For the most part, Mine is a fairly engrossing film (although I found Tom Cullen's character to be a little irritating truth be told). However, when Mike is isolated in the desert on his own then the film does become much more involving - the unfortunate predicament that he finds himself in did help to keep me involved in the story.Despite the seriousness of Mike's predicament, the film does have a sometimes surprisingly light-hearted tone; a local villager discovering Mike alone in the desert who doesn't seem to grasp the peril of the situation that Mike is facing was a really nice touch to the film and provided the film with some humour; it actually balanced the film out well as he would often turn up after Mike has faced a perilous night alone in the desert. This villager isn't merely there as comic relief however and he does inject some pathos to the film and understands Mike's predicament more than Mike initially believes.In the latter stages of the film we start to witness Mike slowly losing his mind after he has spent a number of hours and days alone in the desert. I can understand what the filmmakers were trying to do here, but a lot of these moments felt a little choppy and messy - they are effective in the moment I suppose, but they don't add much to the film and don't really allow us to learn much about the principal character. Some of the lighting and editing is quite poor as well which sometimes took me slightly out of the action - although I'll admit that I was never bored when watching this film.Armie Hammer (yes I know he sounds like a brand of toothpaste) is not an actor that I'm all that familiar with; I've seen him in the film version of The Man From Uncle, but that's the only other film I've seen him in as far as I can recall. To be fair I liked him in The Man From Uncle and I thought he was solid in this film as well. Carrying a film for large portions of time on your own is probably the most challenging job that can be bestowed upon an actor, but Hammer does a great job here and takes us through this perilous and emotionally draining journey very well.The major issue I had with this film is mainly down to the narrative; we see at the start that Mike steps on a land mine, but it's revealed at the end that he actually stepped on a tin can (it's explained earlier in the film that the villager dug up some of the land mines and replaced them with tin cans so that the metal detectors wouldn't know any different). This was a bit of a rug pull to me as you could hear something click when Mike stepped on what we all believed to be a land mine. Also wouldn't it have been better if the whole section about replacing land mines with tin cans was omitted till the end and thrown in as a twist? I suspect that when this was revealed about halfway through the film that some people may have seen what happened at the end coming..All in all though this is a fairly enjoyable and engrossing film (despite some sloppiness within the narrative). It won't be for everyone, but for anyone that enjoys watching a 'one man surviving against near impossible odds' type of film then I would say that Mine is worth a look.

Mine is the story of a Marine who's waiting for assistance to retrieve him from a particularly dangerous situation. Be careful about the genre because you have to realize that it's not a movie packed with action, instead it's a thriller packed with suspense.I find myself rating this picture with a solid 7 out of 10. In my opinion there's an evident issue with its contents. It's a movie that can be split in three very distinctive parts: it starts off really well, after a while we face a pretty long boring part (which lasts about 25/30 minutes), and then everything gets extremely better. There's nothing wrong with the main plot, actors are great and each and every soundtrack is pretty enjoyable. Conclusion: it almost made me cry, it's something worth watching!

After a failed assassination attempt, a soldier finds himself stranded in the desert. Exposed to the elements, he must survive the dangers of the desert and battle the psychological and physical tolls of the treacherous conditions. I don't even know from where to begin with this film, "Mine" has an awful twist that betrays both it's story and it's title and will disappoint a lot of people with how dumb it gets after a while. We see the main character's life threw flashbacks and somehow we're supposed to care but honestly? i did not it's just poorly made and nothing that you haven't seen before. The acting by Armie Hammer is mediocre and nothing great the same goes for Annabelle Wallis. The toy soldiers from the Toy Story Films have a cameo for some reason also and after watching this film i'm starting to like 'The Wall' even more now. (F)
