Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Jul 20, 2025 2/5

Regrettably, the peril grinder of “Mine” pounds its not-so-thinly-veiled metaphors repeatedly and insufferably into the ground.

Both the narrative exposition, an inner drama that is reflected on the outside, and the cinematographic tools offer an intense, reflective and conscious perspective on the condition of the man trapped in himself. [Full Review in Spanish]

It's so close to being a really good movie that it really hurts when Mine blows up in your face.

At times laughably gabby, Mine never recovers from a derelict script that's awash in cliché.

Mine is a film that is nowhere near as clever as it thinks it is...this directorial debut from Fabio Guaglione and Fabio Resinaro is all conceit and no substance.

Hammer does a fine job in his largely solo role, so it's a shame directing duo Fabio Guaglione and Fabio Resinaro choose to saddle him with several hallucinatory/real visitors during his ordeal.

Stylishly shot, although somewhat flawed.

It's hard not to feel bad for Armie Hammer through all of this. ... he's asked to do little more than endure suffering, like Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant, except less interestingly shot.

... becomes repetitive and increasingly far-fetched, which diminishes the topical relevance of the material.

While Hammer does a fine job anchoring this endurance test of a film he can't save us from what is ultimately a dud.

A tepid, lifeless, endurance test of a film that you'd gladly spend an eternity in the desert to avoid ever sitting through again.

A jumbled, hodgepodge of ideas and images that spoil the initially intriguing premise.

Every time that Mine threatens to come apart under its own pretensions (which is relatively often), Hammer does something subtle and believable to ground it.

Alistair Ryder Film Inquiry Apr 7, 2017

Mine is convoluted and utterly confused about the story it is telling, building up to one of the most infuriatingly anti-climactic finales in recent memory.

The second half sees survival, oddly, as a form of therapy.

For a film that's built on such a banger of a premise, Mine never leaves Mike alone for too long, robbing it of the tension and terror that made Mike's early solitary moments hit so hard.

The film is often a marvel of visual and narrative resourcefulness.

"Mine" is a classic example of a high-concept film that painstakingly sets up its unusual premise, only to squander it.

It's a hard work for Hammer, who's trapped in feature-length effort that should've been a short film instead.

Cary Darling Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com Apr 6, 2017 3/5

"Mine" shimmers with a dusty authenticity...But as more of Mike's clichd back story becomes clear over the course of a long 106 minutes, the film becomes almost as much of an endurance test for the audience as it is for Mike.
