Review of Mercury Rising (1998) by Soul S — 24 Feb 2016

I do not know why people gave this a bad review perhaps it's their ignorance with regards to Autism. The actor who played the Autistic child was very good, I know many autistic children and many can act exactly like this child did.

I enjoyed the film, its plot is very plausible and some Autistic children are capable of complex mathematical puzzles. What is more, it would not be beyond dark sections of the NSA to want to assassinate anyone deemed a threat including a young child.

The character Bruce Willis plays is also plausible as agents can quite often reach burnout and develop PTSD which is actually what he had symptoms of. Many times in reality people have decided to take a stand because one final event went too fare and this film depicts this very well.
