Mine (2017)

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The enviroment is of a war movie but this is not a war movie, this is a drama of a man that think that it is dying because has stepped a mine and that it is trying to survive. If you are looking for action movie don't watch this mivie, this is a psychological movie, a good psychological movie.

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

I begin to see this film, because what strikes me is what it is going to tell and see if it manages to maintain the tension. For me it does not and the worst thing is that in the attempt, it starts to play so many songs that you do not know by which it wants to go and it does not close any. You do not know if what it means is that war is done only by people with ghosts, without culture or if you want to go other ways, but it is that opens so many.The first thing I do not believe, is what happens at the beginning of the movie and that brings back the whole film. Does anyone think a Marine is making an order? To average film, it responds what I believe is what it means by the film. He responds alone, releases the anti-militarist dialogue. But it is that then it goes by so much paths that I miss and I get bored a little.The actor is very well. I believe it all the time, it seems that really happens all that. And the makeup is great. It seems that the lips are really in a desert.He has a very nice picture. I think I should have used her more, having told more about her feelings and the anguish we are supposed to spend with him. But at least it's useful.The direction, it does not become good, since there are moments that bores, does not know which way to touch, could have made some very beautiful plans and it has not done them. However, many times you see how the plane changes, not to be bored, to give it rhythm, but the rhythm should be created internally, not changing planes. That only shows that you do not know how to put the camera and you do not care about a plane that another.But that yes, has made that even not making a good movie, see it attentive.

"You're a very lucky man. You step on a mine and it doesn't explode. You spend the night in the desert and the animals leave you alone. You're a very lucky man, Mike and Michael!"Guess it wasn't that simple to do this. Making a film that focuses solely on an American marine named Mike (Armie Hammer) who stepped on a landmine and who doesn't dare to take any further steps. For 90 minutes, there's nothing else to see than this soldier who has to wait 52 hours for a patrol to help him. Help that comes too late for his partner Tommy (Tom Cullen). He won't be able to break the record on the 100 meter sprint, as both his legs are spread over a few square meters after walking on a landmine himself. And, in my opinion, the thought of a leg-less existence was too much for him as well. And now Mike is standing, kneeling and balancing there in the middle of the desert on an unexploded landmine, exposed to the elements of nature and from time to time deep in thought. The ultimate survival test.So, don't expect real action-packed scenes in this movie. Only the delusions and flashbacks as Mike gets more and more tired, are presented in multitudes. And an odd, funny looking Berber shows up occasionally to bring water and have philosophical conversations with Mike. And afterwards he disappears again over the next dune. Whether this Berber is real or just a figment of his imagination, is hard to say. Certainly, he gives Mike something to hold onto so he won't go insane because of dehydration, the heat and lack of sleep.Hammer's performance is solid and convincing. A man who tries to survive in dire circumstances and at the same time tries to come to terms with his past. A childhood filled with domestic violence from an aggressive, alcoholic father. To be honest, it's not hard to be the star of a movie when you're actually delivering some kind of solo performance and there's no other role that has a decisive impact on the movie. In this case, Hammer has the stage completely for himself and he can demonstrate the talent he has as an actor. And that is the most commendable of this film. Despite the intriguing concept, the content is too limited.You can also interpret this movie in a metaphorical way. Everybody tend to end up in a so-called mine field once in his lifetime. A difficult period in which making a thoughtful decision is necessary. But because of the fear of taking risks, one freezes and is scared of taking that next, crucial step. Sometimes it may be advisable to take a next step, although there are consequences, instead of standing still. A tremendous dilemma Mike is facing and something the enigmatic Gerber tries to explain to him all the time. Due to the subject and the total lack of action, you may call this a boring movie. At one point, one hopes that this bloody landmine would explodes. Just to stir up the tension. And yet, this movie managed to hold my attention and curiosity. Never thought that a non-exploding landmine could be so intriguing. And again, praise for Armie Hammer and his commendable performance.More reviews here : http://bit.ly/2qtGQoc
