Mutant Chronicles (2009)

Every guy has watched an action film and wondered when we'd get to the good stuff, but from minute one we're given "the good stuff," but it's just not executed well enough, and the film is too kitschy to really be enjoyed.

The feature is better executed in a shoot-first-ask-questions-later style that encourages silence and brutality. Once the material is asked to explain itself, the entertainment value of the film curdles immediately.

Oh, lighten up! It's a pulpy combo of Starship Troopers, The Dirty Dozen and Sky Captain. Perfect for a rainy Saturday afternoon.

not only ridiculously lame but sickeningly contrived

Mutant Chronicles is The Dirty Dozen - but with murderous mutants!

...suffers from a pervadingly low-rent sensibility that proves impossible to overlook.

Mutant Chronicles has an intriguing premise, good performances and some decent effects, but it's let down by some terrible pacing and an extremely dull script.

There is some excitement to be had. However, it looks like a computer game unwisely made into a movie without the money to do it justice.

When the ridiculous and the sublime come within kissing distance like this, you know that, script or no script, Hollywood has found a way to have a wonderful time.

There’s lots of shooting, grenades exploding and things going bang and, even if the film gets bogged down by some needless religious mumbo-jumbo, the whole thing looks great in a grimy, Blade Runner kind of way.
