Here is my movie review of Mute
So basically what happens is that you have this character named Leo who is mute and he lives in Germany With his girlfriend Tanya. Then one day she got the missing so Leo decides to go on a search to find her and then you have these two US Army surgeons named Cactus Bill and Duck Teddington and they are doing surgery on US soldiers. So it is up to Leo to figure out what happened to Tanya and try to find her and that is basically what the story is for the film.
Now a lot of people say that the acting in this movie is bad but to be perfectly honest I don't it is not as bad as people say it is because I have seen worst acting in movies like Suicide Squad from 2016 and Artemis Fowl from 2020 those movies have way worse acting than this movie.
Alexander Skarsgard plays Leo in the film. I have to say he still does a remarkable job as the character. What makes Leo such an excellent character that all he wants to do is to find out what happened to a girlfriend Tanya and try to find her. I also like Leo's backstory how we feel the kid he was swimming and he got his throat cut by a propeller and his mother him to the doctor but the doctor said that he Is unable facts him so ever since then Leo has been unable to talk ever since. Probably the best thing with Leo is where he finds his girlfriend Tanya But unfortunately she is dead and not only was that really emotional but immense sense because he really loved her and it is probably the sad moment in the entire film. The chemistry between him and Justin Theroux and Paul Rudd is still astonishing.
Sam Rockwell plays Sam Bill In the film. I have to say even though he is only in one scene throughout the entire film I still think he does a great job as this character. I also like how at Thai vet back to the 2009 film Moon which When the main character in The this movie is kind of like a sequel to that film.
Justin Theroux plays Duck Teddington In the film. I have to say he still does a remarkable job as the character. What makes Duck Teddington Such a great supporting villain is that he basically is there to follow Cactus Bill ´ s orders by performing surgeries with him. Probably the best moment with Duck Teddington is when he and Cactus Bell are at a restaurant and they are spending time together drinking wine and not only was it really interesting but it makes sense because he likes spending time with him. The chemistry between him and Alexander Skarsgard is tremendous.
However the absolute big standout of the entire film is Paul Rudd as Cactus Bill. Now much like what I said in my Breaking News in Yuba County review this is a really different performance for Paul Rudd because usually he plays really nice and light-hearted characters but in this movie he plays a psychopath. What makes Cactus Bill such a fantastic villain in that right from the story you can tell that he Insane. Also his motivation makes sense because he has a daughter that he is really protective of. Probably the best moment with cactus bill is where he at the mall and he steals some food off the counter and the mall security guard tries to tell him not to do that but then cactus bill pulled out his knife and threatens to stab him in the throat and not only was it really disturbing but it made sense because he didn't want to pay for the food. It is probably the darkest moment of the entire film. I still think he's up there with Mysterio from Spider-Man Far from Home as one of the best villains of the 2010s. The chemistry between him and Alexander Skarsgard is still amazing.
The directing by Duncan Jones. What I like about his directing is that he makes this movie feel like Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 because of the setting the film is in the future in Berlin Germany. i still think it is really excellent how I did that.
So in conclusion I don't think this is the worst movies ever made the far worst movies like Batman versus Superman Dawn of Justice and Daredevil from 2003 those two films are more unwatchable then this film. I still think the storyline is really interesting how Leo has to search for the love of his life who has gone missing I still did the film handled that really well I also still think this is Paul Rudd´s most underrated movie and his most underrated performances as Cactus Bill. I think more people should give this movie a watch before calling it one of the worst movies ever made. Also if you like the movie Moon with Sam Rockwell you might enjoy this film as well. I give this movie a 10/10.
I agree with you Lou that Mute is a really awesome sci-fi film. I still think it is a really underrated Netflix original movie. Also Paul Rudd gives a Really great villain performance as Cactus Bell. I still think it is a really great villain performance. I'll say this it is probably the most underrated movie villain performance I have ever seen.
