movie review - Mute
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 2018.03.03
This is a gangster flick, in which a mute bartender is dragged into the appalling underworld of a sci-fi Crapsack setting. Dealing with characters like an Paul Rudd's uncharacteristically evil surgeon in a quest to find his girlfriend, he finds himself in a violent and desperate situation without much help.
It's dire, it's appalling, and despite some interesting flashes it seems to have been murdered en route to release.
Not recommended.
