Saul Malone is a geologist, a "rock-jock" as he calls himself, who is socially awkward and a poor decision maker. So isn't he the person who you would want to have to save the Earth? That's exactly what he's asked to do when he goes on a mission to the center of the planet in an attempt to prove his theory that all rocks are descended from an extinct Mother Rock. But when the mission goes awry and his ship crashes, he enters the bowels of the Earth where he encounters mole men and a great evil -- an evil that only he can stop. If he can't stop it, not only will he die, but he'll take everyone else on Earth with him.

Barry Garron The Hollywood Reporter 12/17/2019
Computer effects create a primitive world of stone and flames, but what really matters here is Gardner's performance as the goofy Saul and a script that is hilariously geopolitically incorrect. Go to Full Review
Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 12/17/2019
You find it used in "Saul," with its deliberately bad acting (the voices appear to be dubbed in later, to further that effect) and "Tim and Eric." It speaks of awkwardness, embarrassment and paralysis, and is consistent with the zeitgeist. Go to Full Review
Susan Stewart New York Times 12/17/2019
Come to think of it, "Saul" is derivative of something besides some lame, unlamented television shows: It looks a lot like hell. Go to Full Review

Don't get me wrong, I'm no Adult Swim purist. I have no objection to ultra-low-budget live-action shows in the programming block, I just wish they were funnier. Go to Full Review

With any luck, the convoluted nonsense known as Saul of the Mole Men will hurry up and get back to work soon. Go to Full Review
