Mute was marketed wrong. It was marketed as scifi action movie when almost all action is cut away and story didn't have anything needing to be set in science fiction world. This happens in same world as Moon (2009). Connection to Moon was little footage shown on television couple times. If you didn't pay attention you missed it. I am disappointed movie being so little science fiction. Nowadays you should have strong reactions to everything but I don't hate it. I am only disappointed. Disappointed it not being science fiction.
Protagonist is mute Amish bartender whose girlfriend goes missing. Mute reminds me lot of far eastern crime movies. It could easily happen in Tokio or any another Japanese, Chinese or Korean city. It happens in futuristic Berlin. There are some science fiction technologies but those have no impact on the story.
Mute is like those art movies you go to see at film festivals. It might not be the most entertaining or best ever made but you enjoy it because it is something different. I was disappointed it not being science fiction but I enjoyed it. It should have ended about fifteen minutes before it ended. There was perfect ending point. If this was far eastern movie it would have ended there. It might miss audience who would like it because it was marketed as scifi action movie which it is not.
