Mine

A pretty good premise, which was fairly well executed and had a decent point, although I wouldn't mind seeing something grittier. Armie Hammer convincingly showed that he can carry the entire film himself quite comfortably; it just needed a more compact screenplay to maintain the overall strength of the premise. That didn't work. (02/23/2017)

A pretty novel concept, but not attractive enough to keep the viewer entertained for the whole 106 minutes. The final denouement could be guessed from the trailer, thumbs down for that, at least Armie Hammer is likeable and a few moments were interesting, but overall just average in every aspect. 60% (02/28/2017)

How an American soldier disobeyed an order and Allah punished him. A delightful idea about a guy who stepped on a mine in the middle of the desert and has to wait 52 hours before his comrades from bomb disposal arrive has one big fault and that’s the length. Armie Hammer’s survival in the desert is fine, but at the moment that he starts having hallucinations, the movie turns the message from survival to a proposal of marriage, and that’s just weird. Mine has lots of great scenes – the sand storm that blows along a dead body with batteries for the radio, but the radio blows away, hungry wolves – but they don’t bring anything new with them. But it’s quite a good watch and the premise is simply irresistible. (02/24/2018)
