CRITICAL COMMENTS |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| "Except for the boy's autism, a routine suspense thriller, but well made and interesting throughout. Willis' standard action hero character shows a softer side here, while Baldwin plays an out-and-out heavy." -- Leonard Maltin |
|
|
|
|
"Mercury Rising is about the most sophisticated cryptographic system known to man, and about characters considerably denser than anyone in the audience." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times |
