I must admit I was underwhelmed by Mercury Rising - in fact the temperature actually sank.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 23, 2020

There's such a lack of vision behind Mercury Rising that the title could have it going in either direction and it would still end up in the same familiar place.

| Apr 23, 2020

The actors' serious faces are out of place in this hopelessly silly action conspiracy.

| Apr 21, 2020

This should never have been made. Avoid it and pretend it wasn't.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 21, 2020

Baldwin's Kudrow is a one-dimensional, humorless variation on his corporate tyrant in Glengarry Glen Ross.

| Apr 21, 2020

Fortunately, as directed with muscle and heart by Harold Becker, this tale of an angry die-hard and an orphaned autistic boy caught in a deadly government plot ranks at least as high as John McTiernan's first collaboration with an embattled Willis.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 21, 2020

Standard action fare with a false overlay of social conscience.

The real treat is seeing Big Daddy Bruce playing the papa bear part to the little lost boy.

| Apr 21, 2020

An anaemic time-waster you've seen before that fails to create tension or generate the suspense this genre cries out for.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 21, 2020

The mercury may rise but pulses never do.

| Apr 21, 2020

A solid '90s thriller.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 25, 2020

Serves up some dramatic moments but never legitimately convinces.

At one point, this was titled Mercury Falling, and that is a far more apt name for this ice cold thriller.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 1, 2009

There's a lot of action but the thriller part of the movie never emerges.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 17, 2007

The always underrated Bruce Willis manages to suggest a therapeutic process at work more on his own character's anomie and alienation than on Simon's.

| Apr 27, 2007

Such is the not very high concept which the fitfully interesting Becker has to dumb himself down to the point of ignominy to put over.

| Jun 24, 2006

It travels a well worn path and makes zero effort to even delve into new territory.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 9, 2005
