Who knew Arnie Hammer was this good! Loved this film. Beautiful cinematography, thought-provoking and well acted. Not a typical war movie and that is what makes it refreshing. I would put this movie in the same category as Castaway or Papillon. Maybe it lacks gang-ho violence and that's why it only gets a 6

Mike is returning to the base camp after a failed mission. Accidentally he puts his left foot on a land mine. If he moves, it will explode. Help is on the way, Will he survive??? It's a psychological thriller movie and it was very effective in that manner. A remarkable performance from Armie Hammer and all the supporting actors did justice to their roles, especially the British actor Clint Dyer. Overall, If you like the concept, just go for it.

I won't lie, the start of the movie was pretty dull and slow and a little over the top with the military theme. But once it gets to the actual conflict of the movie; two thumbs up! I really liked the physiological aspect and what the main character is wrestling with in his own mind. Very human and that was the best part of the movie. Armie Hammer is a talented actor with his brooding persona. It was a little much at first but he pulled it together incredibly well for the rest of the movie. Glad I found it. Go check it out!

"You're a very lucky man. You step on a mine and it doesn't explode. You spend the night in the desert and the animals leave you alone. You're a very lucky man, Mike and Michael!" Guess it wasn't that simple to do this. Making a film that focuses solely on an American marine named Mike (Armie Hammer) who stepped on a landmine and who doesn't dare to take any further steps. For 90 minutes, there's nothing else to see than this soldier who has to wait 52 hours for a patrol to help him. Help that comes too late for his partner Tommy (Tom Cullen). He won't be able to break the record on the 100 meter sprint, as both his legs are spread over a few square meters after walking on a landmine himself. And, in my opinion, the thought of a leg-less existence was too much for him as well. And now Mike is standing, kneeling and balancing there in the middle of the desert on an unexploded landmine, exposed to the elements of nature and from time to time deep in thought. The ultimate survival test. So, don't expect real action-packed scenes in this movie. Only the delusions and flashbacks as Mike gets more and more tired, are presented in multitudes. And an odd, funny looking Berber shows up occasionally to bring water and have philosophical conversations with Mike. And afterwards he disappears again over the next dune. Whether this Berber is real or just a figment of his imagination, is hard to say. Certainly, he gives Mike something to hold onto so he won't go insane because of dehydration, the heat and lack of sleep. Hammer's performance is solid and convincing. A man who tries to survive in dire circumstances and at the same time tries to come to terms with his past. A childhood filled with domestic violence from an aggressive, alcoholic father. To be honest, it's not hard to be the star of a movie when you're actually delivering some kind of solo performance and there's no other role that has a decisive impact on the movie. In this case, Hammer has the stage completely for himself and he can demonstrate the talent he has as an actor. And that is the most commendable of this film. Despite the intriguing concept, the content is too limited. You can also interpret this movie in a metaphorical way. Everybody tend to end up in a so-called mine field once in his lifetime. A difficult period in which making a thoughtful decision is necessary. But because of the fear of taking risks, one freezes and is scared of taking that next, crucial step. Sometimes it may be advisable to take a next step, although there are consequences, instead of standing still. A tremendous dilemma Mike is facing and something the enigmatic Gerber tries to explain to him all the time. Due to the subject and the total lack of action, you may call this a boring movie. At one point, one hopes that this bloody landmine would explodes. Just to stir up the tension. And yet, this movie managed to hold my attention and curiosity. Never thought that a non-exploding landmine could be so intriguing. And again, praise for Armie Hammer and his commendable performance. More reviews here : http://bit.ly/2qtGQoc

In an attempt to make this movie more dramatic the writers have thrown in every unrealistic, stereotypical hero moment they could think of. This movie is ridiculous. Its just terrible. This movie is worse than my review writing abilitys . it's comical in its clumsy approach at trying to make you feel anything other than boredom.

Poorly conceived, very badly written movie. You can switch of the movie after the first 15 minutes. The only saving grace is the hero. Looks very handsome. This movie should not be categorized as war movie at all. This is pure drama. And seriously, unless someone rigged the IMDb scores, not sure why it is even rated at 6+. Does not deserve the rating at all.

this movie goes beyond words while slow at first it quickly goes into the psyche of this great man. I don't know if this story is real but it is very moving in how the main character must overcome his demons to survive. when the black man (babye I think) tells his story with the mines and how they changed him and his family's life it changed my perspective of Michele and his story, it added a layer of detail that goes beyond words in that it shows how he is a marine, but also a man. that he is fighting a war, but also fighting his demons. will he overcome and survive? or will he be buried there with his friend in the sand forever?
