Mercury Rising


Mercury Rising a 1998 movie staring Bruce Willis and Alec Baldwin. In 1998 the two stars were as they should always look like. Older but still in great shape.

The movie is an action thriller about a nine year-old autistic boy who solves a top secret NSA code and then has to be killed to ensure its validity.
The whole far fetched big brother enemy of the state type affair that you know could never happen is always a good watch. Yeah the US government agencies are that good, in their dreams.

Bruce Willis plays Art Jeffries an FBI agent trying to protect the boy (Simon) from the evil clutches of Baldwin who plays Colonel Kudrow the head NSA bad guy who will kill anyone including his own people because it fits in with his insane view of patriotism.

Willis soon has everyone looking for him including the FBI and no matter what he sticks with the boy because its the right thing to do and even though giving up would be so easy.

The film isn't deep and can be far fetched but its still a good watch getting wrapped up neatly in the end. You will have Die Hard flashbacks in the last 10 minutes though.
