Mercury Rising

Remember this one? I hadn't seen it since it came out in the theater in 1998. I'd forgotten what a great, on the edge-of-your-seat movie it is. Bruce Willis always delivers but the actor that really amazed me was Miko Hughes who played the autistic savant little boy. I'm still trying to figure out he managed to keep his eyes rolled to the side of his head. All in all a good movie for date night.

I'll let you into a secre Sandra, many movies I haven't seen except on TV due to the fact that the last time I went to the cinema I was pregnant with my second child and he's 40 plus. I saw a film with many flashing lights which upset me not know I was Epiletic at the time.
This preview looks like a good film all the same.

I've never seen or even heard of this one, but I LOVE Bruce Willis.

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

I'd forgotten about that film as well. Funny how some movies slip through the memory cracks.

CJ Kennedy said...

Oh, that was a good movie.

JFM said...

A bit to much violence for me. But from the little that I've seen here a lot of talented acting.
Have a great day 💮

Pat Hatt said...

That was a decent one indeed. I'm not sure you can say "Bruce Willis always delivers" these days. Have you seen some of the direct to dvd crap he's been putting out? Blah.

Bruce Willis is one of my boyfriends so I watch him in everything. I saw this a few times and enjoyed it so much. He just did a movie in 2017 that was a little out of character for him because he travels around on a skateboard. (lol) Hugs...

I haven't seen that movie before but, I'm quite sure I'd like it, thanks for posting about it, Sandra, my friend.

One thing I'd like to add is there's been a change, if you'd like to read more, you're welcome to click on my name in this comment of mine and you'll be taken there.

I don't think I've ever seen it and I love Bruce Willis.

Sandra Cox said...

Understand:)
You have a great one too, Jan:)

Sandra Cox said...

That's been awhile:) Sounds like a wise plan to stay away.

Sandra Cox said...

No I haven't, Pat. That's sad to hear:(

Sandra Cox said...

I do too, Steve. I noticed in this film he called the little boy partner. Standard Bruce Willis:)

Sandra Cox said...

Bruce Willis on a skateboard? I won't be right for weeks.
:)
Hugs back,

I don't recall ever seeing this and don't think I've even heard of it before. I loved Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense. I thought that was better than the action movies he did.

Love,
Janie

I really liked the movie "The Sixth Sense" for I thought the acting was great!

Adam said...

I'm pretty sure I missed out on this one

Marcie said...

I don't think I saw this. I will have to look for it at my local video store. Thanks for the tip!

Marcie said...

My favorite Bruce Willis movie has been Unbreakable. Love the variation on the super-hero concept.

Sandra Cox said...

Both the HH and I thought it was really good. If you see it, let me know what you think:)

Sandra Cox said...

Heading there now.

Sandra Cox said...

Let me know if you see. We really enjoyed it. And if you see it, watch the little boy's eyes.

Sandra Cox said...

Janie and Lon: The HH loved it too. And Bruce Willis did an excellent job. But the movie weirded me out. Too creepy for me.

Jeanie said...

I don't know this one, Sandra. Thanks for the head's up!

Sandra Cox said...

There's still time;)

Sandra Cox said...

Let me know if you like it, Marcie.

I'm not sure if I've seen Unbreakable or not. We'll have to give it a look see, then compare notes:)

Sandra Cox said...

My pleasure, Jeanie. Let me know if you like it.

Sandra Cox said...

I hear ya on the cracks in the memory. For me too, Alex.

Sandra Cox said...

We thought so too:)

Sandra Cox said...

Let me know what you think, Birgit.

Sandra Cox said...

We really enjoyed it:)

Janie Junebug said...

I agree that it was creepy. It frightened me, but in a good way.

Sandra Cox said...

It was extremely well done, I just don't do creepy very well:)

Sandra Cox said...

We enjoyed it. Do you like Bruce Willis?

Hot guys said...

I mean, it's Bruce Willis... Enough said :)

Magic Love Crow said...

I love this movie! Thanks for reminding us of it Sandra! I love to revisit the "older" movies! Big Hugs!
