Review of Mercury Rising (1998) by Jonny P — 13 Dec 2013
Weird how negative are the reviews of this film. Perhaps a problem of confused expectations? I am pretty cynical at the best of times, but I found the autistic boy played by Miko Hughes endearing, Bruce Willis as the concerned adult a solid and convincing performance, and the story extremely moving.
Sure, there is not so much of them, but the action scenes are still good, there is a lot of suspense, and the musical score is excellent. Maybe people were expecting a straightforward Die Hard sequel.
That it is not, but it is an absorbing film nonetheless.
