Critics are dead wrong about Mute. Visually one of the most ambitious sci-fi movies ever, that shares elements with Blade Runner but also does a lot of things Blade Runner doesn't. A weak central mystery is made up for with strong characterization (with an outstanding performance from Paul Rudd).

My name's Jayson Markey and I review movies and albums, recap TV shows and react to trailers and music videos! Mute is a 2018 science fiction mystery film directed by Duncan Jones, who co-wrote the script with Michael Robert Johnson. It stars Alexander Skarsgård, Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux. It has been criticized for being offensive (homophobic and transphobic), mishandling the issue of pedophilia, a ripoff of cyberpunk noir blade runner, with a luddite Amish hero. David Bowie glam rock influences, and it does have easter eggs and a shared universe with Moon. I explain why the critics are completely wrong, especially about the ending.
