Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinApr 6, 2017
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

RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoApr 7, 2017
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

We Got This CoveredDavid JamesApr 6, 2017
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

The Film StageMike MazzantiApr 9, 2017
A jumbled, hodgepodge of ideas and images that spoil the initially intriguing premise. Read full review

IndieWireKate ErblandApr 6, 2017
The in-between moments when Mine is simply a guy stuck in the desert, trying to use his own wits to save himself, is when the film is at its very best, but that’s precisely what makes Mine such a disappointment: those moments are the in-between ones, not the bulk of the film. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanApr 6, 2017
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.

Screen DailyWendy IdeApr 4, 2017
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

Village VoiceLuke Y. ThompsonApr 6, 2017
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

Washington PostAlan ZilbermanApr 6, 2017
Guaglione and Resinaro strive to find meaning in Mike’s struggle, even when the script and its conclusion all point to a message that is more senseless, even bleak. Read full review

Slant MagazineDerek SmithApr 2, 2017
The film has absolutely no interest in the dilemmas or after-effects of war and occupation. Read full review
