Eddie Mensore’s “Mine 9,” about a group of coal miners trying to survive a cave-in, is a bravura display of storytelling prowess, turning liabilities into virtues in the manner of all good low-budget films. Borrowing equally from the survival movie and the horror genre, it starts out by flat-out promising that something unspeakably awful is going to happen to a group of men led by section leader Zeke (Terry Serpico), and then delivers, in the best/worst way.Mine 9 2019 full Movie Download,
A near-disaster in the prologue establishes that increasing methane levels are putting the workers of Mine 9 in danger, but the system is ill-equipped to do anything about it. As the miners discuss amongst themselves, whenever a mine gets shut down by safety regulators, they don’t get a paycheck. If one of them dies on the job, at least their family will get a payout—a scenario they prefer to unemployment, grim as that sounds. On top of that, if an accident traps miners in a shaft, federal investigators won’t help them, because they have a rule against sending their own people into a situation that’s been established as life-threatening. All of which means that when things go bad, these guys are on their own.Mine 9 2019 full Movie Download.
Mensore seems to have carefully studied the tough-guy action films of the 1960s and ’70s. At its best, “Mine 9” feels like a movie from that era, from the documentary-like emphasis on the rituals of donning and removing uniforms and gathering equipment, to the decision to keep film score music to a bare minimum (Marucio Yazigi’s work is mostly ambient and subliminal; sometimes we mistake it for natural or mechanical noises), to dealing with exposition by having a newbie, Zeke’s eighteen-year old nephew Ryan (Drew Starkey), ask questions of the veterans accompanying him on his first trip into the mine. (Anybody who’s seen a war movie will immediately fear for the new kid’s safety; at least Mensore resisted the temptation to have him show off a picture of his fiancee.)
