MERCURY PLAINS is a low budget thriller conceived as a star vehicle for actor Scott Eastwood, but he's going to have to try harder than this if he wants to make his mark. This one's a south-of-the-border story in which Eastwood hooks up with a team of young vigilantes in order to bring war to the Mexican drug cartels. What follows is slow and meandering, failing to inspire either in terms of strong characterisation or interesting plotting. There are a few half-hearted action scenes and the presence of Nick Chinlund hamming up big time as the leader of the vigilantes, but overall this is a chore to sit through.
