Worth checking out once you've seen Netflix's Annihilation, but before you get into Altered Carbon.

As a production project it was, apparently, stuck in "development hell" for more than a decade. Sometimes projects are stuck in development hell for a reason.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 9, 2018

Mute is pretty meh but gets points for randomness.

| Mar 2, 2018

Mute feels like a dream: strange, amorphous, emotionally remote, and senseless.

| Feb 27, 2018

There's nothing in the plot that justifies the existence of everything around it. This is a problem exacerbated by the way that Mute is structured as a sort of two-hander.

Fans of Moon and Source Code be warned: Mute is sadly, almost tragically, not worth the wait.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 25, 2018

Skarsgård is just frustratingly silent and dull, to the point where it feels less like he's a mute and more like he's just doing the whole hard-boiled, Liam Neeson, no-need-for-words-when-I-can-thump-henchmen-with-my-table-leg character thing .

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 23, 2018

But it's never a great sign when your lead is upstaged by the supporting players, and for all its good looks, "Mute" ultimately doesn't have a whole lot to say.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 23, 2018

[Paul] Rudd and [Justin] Theroux do their best to have fun, but the movie's miserable tone is actively competing against them at every turn.

Jones is clearly striving to develop something fresh out of well-trodden material, and Mute at least exhumes Jones' stature as a notable auteur.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 23, 2018

Mute is more interesting as a bullet-point list of absurdities than as a two-hour film. Yet, Jones continues to have my attention.

| Original Score: C | Feb 23, 2018

A mishmash of ideas in search of a movie.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 23, 2018

Early trailers made it look like a neon-noir cross between Blade Runner and The Fifth Element. Sadly, it's just another airless dud in red packaging.

| Original Score: C | Feb 23, 2018

Since we're being encouraged to use the Bowie scale, we will admit that Mute is no Never Let Me Down. Let's charitably rate it at Black Tie, White Noise level.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 23, 2018

It's like watching a magician spend several minutes on elaborate flourishes and then drawing your card from a deck of one.

| Feb 23, 2018

MUTE's narrative is a self-consciously odd and stillborn mix of missing-person mystery and rehabilitation parable.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 23, 2018

With an insipid script, no narrative line, and a cast of unlikable characters, Mute has to get by on looks-neon Cold War hand-me-downs with all the workmanship of journeyman 온라인카지노추천.

| Original Score: D | Feb 23, 2018

Somewhere in here a reasonable film exists, but Mute is rather less than the sum of its parts.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 23, 2018

The narrative doesn't quite coalesce, and except for a few late-in-the-proceedings moments, it doesn't deliver the grim, indelible shivers of the best noir.

| Feb 23, 2018

Mute may be a bigger vision than Moon and Source Code, but it's narrower where it counts.
