I made the mistake of reading its review score before watching it, so I was expecting something bad. But on the contrary, it was a very moving movie. I would advise not giving up after the first 15-20 minutes, as the story unfolds toward the end. So, yes the movie is inaccurate for all those military experts, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the story behind it, which was very intense and involving.

A bottle movie although the confined space here is really the desert. It does not help that Mine stars, failed leading man Armie Hammer who despite his best efforts has never risen above giving a passable performance in his film career so far.Hammer plays a US marine sniper Mike who after a failed assassination mission sees his colleague Tommy blown up by a landmine and he then steps on one.The film is really Mike standing still for several days, afraid to take a further step, semi hallucinating and having flashbacks of his life as he tries to reach his radio and call for help.A Berber nomad visits him and tells Mike to move on, the nomad's daughter sometime turns up to give him some water.It is left to Hammer to carry the film but he does not have the skill or script. It does not help that we have no idea where in North Africa this film is located on. We can guess that the Berber is an almost mystical figure, is he telling Mike to physically or mentally move.We get flashbacks of Mike's abusive household, his tumultuous love affair, his camaraderie with Tommy. It is all a rather clichéd but it does have an emotional ending.I did wonder why actor Tom Cullen who played Tommy sounded Australian. Of course it would also be impossible for Mike to stand on the trigger for so long without moving his foot and this is not how landmines work.

I begin to see this film, because what strikes me is what it is going to tell and see if it manages to maintain the tension. For me it does not and the worst thing is that in the attempt, it starts to play so many songs that you do not know by which it wants to go and it does not close any. You do not know if what it means is that war is done only by people with ghosts, without culture or if you want to go other ways, but it is that opens so many.The first thing I do not believe, is what happens at the beginning of the movie and that brings back the whole film. Does anyone think a Marine is making an order? To average film, it responds what I believe is what it means by the film. He responds alone, releases the anti-militarist dialogue. But it is that then it goes by so much paths that I miss and I get bored a little.The actor is very well. I believe it all the time, it seems that really happens all that. And the makeup is great. It seems that the lips are really in a desert.He has a very nice picture. I think I should have used her more, having told more about her feelings and the anguish we are supposed to spend with him. But at least it's useful.The direction, it does not become good, since there are moments that bores, does not know which way to touch, could have made some very beautiful plans and it has not done them. However, many times you see how the plane changes, not to be bored, to give it rhythm, but the rhythm should be created internally, not changing planes. That only shows that you do not know how to put the camera and you do not care about a plane that another.But that yes, has made that even not making a good movie, see it attentive.

Mine is a unique film about the psychological effects of war. I'm not talking about the mind's stress during combat, nor the after effects of PTSD. This is something different all together, and very well executed. It's not really a war movie... it's more of a psychological thriller.Directors Fabio Guaglione and Fabio Resinaro did a fabulous (you see what I did there lol?) job putting this film together with excellent cinematography, VFX and editing. Although I hate slow paced films, and this one was, it was riveting enough to hold my attention. Armie Hammer was outstanding in his role.Very enjoyable and one of the better war-type films I've seen. It's an 8/10 from me.
