The film is often a marvel of visual and narrative resourcefulness. But with its single primary location, blistering atmosphere, small cast and narrow focus, “Mine” may prove too grueling for some. Read full review

Every time that Mine threatens to come apart under its own pretensions (which is relatively often), Hammer does something subtle and believable to ground it. Read full review

The situation at the heart of Mine - what to do if you're stuck standing on a live landmine - is fascinating to imagine. But sadly, the film eventually devolves into cliched flashbacks and quickly loses momentum. Read full review

Lacking the visual flair of 127 Hours or the satisfying resilience of Robert Redford’s character in All Is Lost, the film leans heavily on Armie Hammer’s performance. And while he is a charismatic leading actor, he is not given enough to work with here to sustain the picture. Read full review

The Fabios appear to have some talent, but not a lot of common sense. They’ve made a land-mine suspense thriller with a few heart-in-the-throat, hair-trigger moments, but Mine is so eager to be a “metaphor” (it’s a little Beckett, a little Tarantino, a little Lifetime channel) that it’s the film’s pretension that winds up exploding in your face.

The co-director/co-writer team of Fabio Guaglione and Fabio Resinaro are none too subtle, and their reliance on hallucination sequences suggests a (misguided) lack of faith in Hammer to pull this off by himself. Read full review

The film has absolutely no interest in the dilemmas or after-effects of war and occupation. Read full review

It's what we call traumas due to a strong emotional impact, and because we are stuck with it, we often reach the bottom of the well, we go through several problems to finally be able to unlock it, when we can. The scene in which his father appears (in the protagonist's unconscious) was not shown, and they hug each other, conveying the main message of the film: forgiveness, despite the fact that his father beat him as a child. But anyway, those who have been through similar situations know how much it is to live that way, especially with father and mother involved. This can stop any human being, many manage to move on, others live to avenge a moment in the past, start to live from that moment… Expand

First ever review on Metacritic. Shocked this movie only garnered a 40. Thus I will explain. Every once in a while, a movie breaks the traditional format. Either a romance or adventure: subject begins journey, is transformed by events or love (or both), corrects course, completes journeyFirst ever review on Metacritic. Shocked this movie only garnered a 40. Thus I will explain. Every once in a while, a movie breaks the traditional format. Either a romance or adventure: subject begins journey, is transformed by events or love (or both), corrects course, completes journey with success. This movie does not follow that exact path. Instead it relies on a metaphysical base. It builds on many principles that are simple in appearance but deeply rooted in nature. I have to say this movie reaches depths few others have; the acting, clear focus, and small overall scope contains the experience to the bare minimum. If you do not pick up on the emotion in the first 20 minutes this movie is not for you; it is too subtle for your taste. I find the overarching and detailed themes so visceral, well acted, written, and directed. You forget Hammer is an actor. Take this movie at face value and listen to what it tells you. The metaphysics are all there, you will not find so much in a similar genre. Truly great writing and directing. Top 10 of all time in my book.… Expand

Quite a good movie to show how intense it can be in a war zone and what a soldier can go through even if this is a situation where not many people survive and it doesn't happen often, movie manages to show emotions and the past running through the soldiers minds when they are at war.

As for movie itself, it felt a bit too long at some points, there were interesting moments, but at the same time there were boring parts too.… Expand

Few ideas (actually just one idea) to last 90 minutes. Good images which lead nowhere. A story without a real nexus, it is a film made of nothing and at the end of the day, it's more boring than exciting.
