Mute directed by Duncan Jones and written by Michael Robert Johnson and Duncan Jones is a SCI-FI, mystery movie. The movie is about Leo (Alexander Skarsgard) a mute Amish man in a futuristic world. His girlfriend Naadirah (Seyneb Saleh) has gone missing, and he is determined to go find her. Along the way he keeps running into Cactus (Paul Rudd) who is AWOL and
trying to get papers to go back to the U.S.
This movie is amazingly acted. Especially Alexander who is mute the whole movie, he gives us so much emotion without saying a single word. I do think they don't give him enough time in the movie, we get about a fifty fifty split of him and Paul Rudd. The way he acts with his eyes is amazing. Paul Rudd also does great as a witty jerk. Sadly, sometimes his character feels to generic. His character does border between someone we root for and someone we hate.
This movie also looks beautiful as most SCI-FI movies do. The soundtrack is nice. I think the movie does a decent job at setting up their world. My complaints are not enough time with Alexander, and some character choices with Paul Rudd's character. Besides that I thought it was a fun SCI-FI movie that kept me entertained for most of it.
