	Author	Review
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"While the protagonist's backstory is not sufficiently original to sustain tension throughout, Hammer's committed performance keeps you watching"	NEU
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"Films like 'Buried' and 'The Shallows' benefit from less, but 'Mine' never learned that lesson (...) For a film that’s built on such a banger of a premise, 'Mine' never leaves Mike alone for too long"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"An existential war thriller that never explodes (...) It really belongs to that quirky, death-trap genre that’s been gaining in popularity lately — call it the Thriller About Someone Who Gets Stuck in One Place"	NEG
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"[It shows] cultural insensitivity (...) The film has absolutely no interest in the dilemmas or after-effects of war and occupation (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Luke Y. Thompson Village Voice	"It's a good move, unfortunately tripped up in this case by directorial missteps (...) [The directors'] assumption seems to be that people who enlist all come from broken homes"	NEG
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"The insights we are given into Mike’s troubled past don’t have the necessary dramatic weight to justify the long, slow build that precedes them (...) [An] Overlong and somewhat unfocused picture"	NEG
