SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

melrose6139 I really enjoyed this film and can't understand the low rating. I believe Bowie would have been really proud of his son's creation. Alexander Skarsgård and Paul Rudd give amazing performances, the plot line is really engaging (feels like arranging a puzzle) and it is definitely worth seeing Duncan Jones's vision of the future, I loved each detail of this world - the CGI, the costumes, the gadgets, Hacker's Hell, the snack machines, the pool, the toilets, the flying meals, the laser graffiti, the adds, the phones (especially Cactus's invisible phone, the first time he spoke to Maksim was a great treat)... The film is beautifully lit and shot and has an unique atmosphere (the soundtrack includes Philip Glass and also adds to it). There are many shots in the beginning of the film that are linked with the ending, so I would definitely watch it again.

donpoir-1 The reviews are all over the map, from 1 to 10. That alone made me want to see Mute. It's not a 2 and it's not a 9. The story is a little messy but there are some solid performances and you end up caring about the characters, or loathing than, so it's not a boring film. There are several great scenes and enough going on to hold your interest to the end, which was satisfying.Seeing lovable Paul Rudd play a creepy, dark villain was my favorite part of the film. Like many actors in Hollywood he's typecast and this departure shows Rudd should step out of the comedy world more often.I want to give it a 7 but that's too high. I gave it a 6 but would have chosen 6.5 if available. I think it's a film you have to see for yourself rather than dismiss due to crappy user reviews.

dallasryan Mute was all over the place. The story is muddled and there is a certain disturbing essence to the movie all around. The look of the film is interesting, but still looks as if they're on the Warner Brothers lot. The good thing about this film was the acting. Alexander Skarsgård is terrific, and very likable as the Mute. Paul Rudd is excellent as the mean and bitter man who wants to go home. I have never seen Rudd play a part like this as he was mean and menacing. Rudd proves he's a great actor. Justin Theroux plays the borderline pedophile friend almost too well, a real creepy part which makes this film that much more disturbing. The problem I had most with the film was the fact that Skarsgård is a very likable good guy, but he's only in 50% of the film. The other 50% of the film you have to watch the two unlikable characters that Rudd and Theroux play and it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I would liked to have seen 20% of Rudd and Theroux and 80% of Skarsgård. However, the film does end well and sometimes how you end is what matters. It's a sad film, it's a disturbing film, it's a muddled film, but the acting is terrific and is worth watching for the acting.

NikkoFranco When I use the word weird, it doesn't necessarily mean weird-bad, coz I also see people use weird-beautiful, weird-crazy and they mean it in a positive way. For me it's just weird-weird leaning on the not so positive side of the scale. I am not sure if the people behind this film want to be classified as avant-garde but somehow stopped in the middle of the delivery , like someone who is delivering a wedding cake but claims to have a bumpy road as an excuse for a botched cake. With Paul Rudd portraying the thug as best as he could and Matthias Schoenaerts in the title role as the Mute, theirs is an oddball combination like spaghetti served with cranberry sauce, either one is very hungry or very experimental to give it a two thumbs up. If you're an insomniac - this film will act as your medicine for the night.
