Das Mercury Puzzle (1998)

Das Mercury Puzzle: Directed by Harold Becker. With Bruce Willis, Alec Baldwin, Miko Hughes, Chi McBride. Shadowy elements in the NSA target a nine-year old autistic savant for death when he is able to decipher a top secret code.

“Itu0026#39;s not my fault but I really adore Bruce Willis…ask me who the God of cinema is and along with De Niro, Willis is my man and so it happens that even in mediocre thrillers I forget it all…. This is such a thriller that is based on a very stupid unrealistic scenario (an autistic boy is able to read the code that is used by the USQ government to protect their agents in countries like Iracq). Apart from some thrillerscenes it is the effect of a tearjerker as Miko Hughes must have played the best childrole that ever was seen in a movie but Willis finds his fatherrole as therefore he was just a cold FBI-agent. Everyone who has seen the movie will have their own list of things that couldnu0026#39;t have been possible, I know but this movie works anyway if youu0026#39;re just willing to forget some things of real life.”
