Eddie Mensore has not made a masterpiece of the genre, but there’s a poignancy to his gritty calamity tale that makes Mine 9 worth watching.
Like the characters it portrays, Mine 9 simply does its job as best it can with the resources at hand.

Mensore's movie spotlights the average American that honestly and in an inspired way. Good film that is worth seeing.
Report
To call this movie harrowing is an understatement. It’s a focused — and perhaps necessary — assault on the senses.
The film prefers to share its protagonists' struggle, not lionizing the risks they take but also never questioning them.
Surprises may be few and far between, with every confrontation and dramatic moment preordained. But Mine 9 delivers suspense and pathos, geology and geography, and a spot-on cast puts faces and lives behind iconic “types,” and make this one of the most Netflixable films the streaming service offers.
Mensore’s film aims chiefly to highlight the typical plight of an American underclass that rarely gets big-screen attention. That it does with honesty and conviction, if not a great deal of inspiration.
The goings-on are grim, grueling and, eventually, grisly. Mensore shoots them with a sharp eye for maintaining coherent spatial relations, which enhances the suspense. It’s a sometimes bracing simulation.
A pretty cleverly made survival thriller with lots of tension and intrigue. I was on the edge of my seat, and am a new fan of director Edward Mensore.
