Cactus and leo make the movie worth it but it is definitely oddly paced, like a futuristic Korean revenge thriller in Germany with a mute Amish lead who is badass to the end.

Honestly, this movie could have been so much better. It was entirely too slow, and when it had a chance to have a Walking Tall moment, it didn't even show the fight.

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.

Oh my gosh. What a mess. At about the 20 minute mark, I realized this was not a good film. Poorly cast (Paul Rudd is not a convincing bad guy), filled with scenes of probably unintentional hilarity, and dully paced. This is one serious stinker of a movie. The fact that it's trying so hard for a Blade Runner city vibe just makes it look all the worse compared to the masterful Blade Runner sequel that came out around the same time.I'd say skip this one. It's not bad enough to be entertainingly bad, it's just bad.
