Product Description

Product Description

Art Jeffries (Bruce Willis), a renegade FBI agent, combats ruthless federal agents to protect Simon, a nine-year-old autistic boy who has cracked the government's new "unbreakable" code. He can read MERCURY, the advanced encryption code, as easily as other kids read English. This skill renders the new billion-dollar secret code vulnerable, especially if enemies of the United States should learn of Simon's abilities and capture him. Program chief Nick Kudrow (Alec Baldwin) orders the "security threat" eliminated, but Kudrow hasn't counted on Jeffries getting involved. As they are trailed by deadly assassins, Jeffries quickly realizes that no one can be trusted. Now time is running out, and he discovers his only hope of survival is using Simon's special ability to bring their adversaries to justice.

Take off your thinking caps and toss 'em in a corner, 'cuz you won't need 'em when you're watching this deliriously dumb thriller from 1997. Bruce Willis stars as a demoted FBI agent who comes to the aid of an autistic boy whose mind holds a potentially deadly secret. It seems that by gazing on a puzzle magazine and making order out of a hidden system of numbers, the 9-year-old autistic boy (Miko Hughes) has accidentally deciphered a sophisticated top-secret government code. This makes him the prime target of the ruthless bureaucrat (Alec Baldwin, in one of his silliest roles), and Willis comes to the rescue. This formulaic thriller sets up this plot with a lot of entertaining urgency, but you can't give any thought to Mercury Rising or the whole movie collapses under the weight of its own illogic and nonsense. The redeeming values are the performances of Willis, young Hughes, and newcomer Kim Dickens as a woman who agrees (perhaps too easily, it seems) to aid Willis in his plot to outmaneuver the bad guys. Mercury Rising is not a waste of time compared to other formulaic thrillers, but its entertainment value depends on how much you enjoy being smarter than the movie. --Jeff Shannon

    5.0 out of 5 stars Give it a chance - far better than what the critics say
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2015

    Give this Bruce Willis movie a try, and ignore that Rottentomatoes.com gives this film a Big Squashed Tomato (17%). Roger Ebert also was bored by it. Lucky for me I am not a professional (know-it-all) critic. For me, Bruce Willis is totally convincing in his part. The same or even more so for the child actor playing the autistic child.

    Furthermore, the pacing was suspenseful all the way through, except in those moments in which the film must establish that the child, Simon, lives with loving parents, or that Bruce, as the FBI "man-of-action" agent, must slow down to tentatively figure out how to interact with (and protect) the extremely sensitive, reactive Simon. At these moments, NATURALLY there will not be any car chases, crashing planes or other explosions. How about that??!! And while we all know that Bruce will get the bad guys in the end (sorry, was that a spoiler?? :-< ), during most of the movie we see Bruce getting deeper and deeper in a hole, and I, as viewer, had no way of guessing how he was going to get out, even in the last 10 minutes. So that seems pretty suspenseful to me!!

    One more thing, and this is something I seem to find only in Bruce Willis movies and NOT with any other "action hero": Bruce is able to convey moments of touching tenderness (don't miss the last 3 minutes!!), and this has the effect of making the viewer all the more invested in the characters and the outcome of the movie. A dimension beyond far beyond cartoonish, Road Runner-type explosions and mayhem.

    By the way, something else I noticed. Mel Gibson, in his movies, gets socked, beaten down, and goes into his poor-ole-me martyr-shtick. Bruce's action-guy shrugs it off and gets sarcastic. Which do you prefer?

    As for the premise of this film: could our government do such a thing? I'd say, after the lies that led us into Iraq, and the knowledge that the president, Congress, and the Justice Department lied about torture and spying on all US citizens, the only thing we know is that the US government will tell us as little as possible, and lie about the rest.

    5.0 out of 5 stars you can't keep a good man down
    Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2010

    Like many of his classic movies, in "Mercury Rising" Bruce Willis is a man on a mission to save an innocent person from ruthless killers. It includes many fine action scenes and the entire story from beginning to end is always fast-moving and in your face.

    The film starts out with Art (Bruce) as an undercover FBI agent inside a bank trying to negotiate with the criminals. He was close to getting the entire bank free of harms way, but when the place is stormed and there is bloodshed Art totally loses his cool and clocks the guy in charge. So much for diplomacy.

    After being demoted, Art is put in charge of investigating the mysterious disappearance of Simon Lynch (played the Miko Hughes, the smartass from "Full House.") Simon is a child with severe emotional problems who is incapable of articulating himself in a coherent way, yet he was able to crack the government's top-secret "mercury" national security code. Go figure.

    One of my favorite parts has gotta be when Art shows up at Kudrow's (Alec Baldwin) birthday party, unexpectedly. That's what I loved the most about the character that Bruce plays. He did what we all wanted to do and he never blinked once. He just had so much nerve and gall and only had 1 mission on his mind. I thought it was hysterical when Alec Baldwin told him "please don't touch the wine bottles" and it was even funnier when he'd open them up and swig a sip, saying "you don't care about a 9 year-old boy but you care about your f'n wine bottles."

    I enjoyed this movie very much because it's not just a typical Bruce Willis movie. It's somewhat sad, yet it's also uplifting and in this movie we get to see another facet of Bruce, his softer and sensitive side which rarely comes out in any of his other projects. He played the role perfectly because like a ship he was both steady and strong and rough.

    The plot ties up with Bruce's signature action-filled, theatrical 3-ring circus. If you enjoyed any of the "Die Hard" movies or even "16 Blocks" you will most assuredly like the pace and the excitement of "Mercury Rising."
