Critic Reviews
The nuttiest thing about Mercury Rising is that when Alec Baldwin, as the silky-voiced evil defense honcho, explains that he took his cutthroat actions to protect the lives of American undercover agents, he actually sounds quite reasonable. You can just about feel the imbecility rising.
Read full review
Baldwin's Kudrow is a one-dimensional, humorless variation on his corporate
tyrant in "Glengarry Glen Ross." When the writers attempt to add color -- like
with a female office worker who blathers about caffeine and Bart Simpson --
the results induce cringing. [3 Apr 1998, p.A]
Willis has a gift for turning formulaic action flicks -- Die Hard, even Hudson Hawk -- into something with an identifiable personality, but much of Mercury Rising challenges even his charms. [3 Apr 1998, p.C5]
