The simple storyline and real-life backdrop were fundamental to success, in a drama equal parts tragedy and compassion. A claustrophobic look at dangers some workers face every day. An indie film about a team of Appalachian coal miners trapped two miles down, trying to crawl their way up with an hour of oxygen, Mine 9 makes maximum use of the dark in all its frightening implications. The movie's implication that the untenable conditions are just "the way it is" is complacent at best.

It asks us to fight off panic alongside them, having no choice but to hope for help from entities who've already proven themselves to be unreliable. April 10, 2020 September 3, 2019 It's one of those that should be viewed on as large a screen as possible and in the dark to get its full effect once the miners end up caught in the mine post explosion

...here's a film about something real, not a horror picture about a group of shapely cavers who descend into the earth and get trapped with monsters chasing them. So the boy gets on the sled and descends, enduring his new co-workers' hazing as they travel deep into the earth.Mensore's script offers some bare-bones characterizations — noting one man's vocal belief that Jesus is watching out for him, watching another's reliance on whatever's in a pocket flask — before hitting the men with a gas explosion that breaks huge chunks of rock free.

The bulk of the film watches as survivors struggle to stay alive long enough for someone above ground to come looking for them.The veteran miners work through possible escape routes and means of communication, but, unsurprisingly, their bosses haven't maintained emergency survival equipment. Two miles into the earth, nine Appalachian miners struggle to survive after a methane explosion leaves them with one hour of oxygen.

Mensore's film aims chiefly to highlight the typical plight of an American underclass that rarely gets big-screen attention.

Mine 9 is the most poignant and terrifying sort of drama: a film about good, hard working, sympathetic people in a life or death situation. You get that and more in director Edward Mensore's immersive nail-better.

The "rescuer" units on their belts only have an hour's worth of breathable air in them, and even that won't prevent the methane from causing dangerous hallucinations.The action's pace and trajectory never mimic that of a big-scale Hollywood production, which might turn a Wahlberg or a Hemsworth into a working-class hero. The goings-on are grim, grueling and, eventually, grisly.
