  Great Watch
  
  Brilliant,another one of Bruce Willis's great films. Really worth renting. Full of action and the odd tug at the heart strings. One i'd watch again.

  Another good Willis film
  
  If you are expecting a 'Die Hard' type of movie, you may be a bit disappointed with this outing from Willis as it is a lot lower in the action sequences... read more »

  One of the better Willis films
  
  Bruce Willis always seems to be some all action super cop that ends up in chases and impossible situations. This film is towards that ilk, but has a bit more ... read more »

  The acting of the young boy who was autistic, was uncanny. A thoroughly good film, enjoyable and interesting. The plot was extremely unlikely, but this does not... read more »

  Reasonable plot
  
  The film had a reasonable plot and some good stunts, but more details of what the boy had done to be in danger, would have helped make it a better film.

  Excellent old favourite
  
  Whilst not a new film Mercury Rising is watchable over and over again. Willis is, as usual, superb! The plot does not seem to get tired.

  Had potential to be much better.
  
  Plot is ridiculuos in places, particularly side line romance part which wasn't needed.
