A group of inept terrorists metes out bloody punishment to unsuspecting socialites and other unusual targets.

Budd Wilkins

Slant Magazine

Álex de la Iglesia’s feature debut, the scrappy sci-fi satire Acción Mutante, revels in the chaos of his anarchic sensibilities, even if its critique of religion is mostly limited to a hysterical takedown of the sanctity of marriage.

You could read meaning into this if you like, but it wouldn't be wise to seek other than a certain visual panache and a jokey determination at all costs to surprise.

Despite the promising premise and frantic energy, the film is nowhere near as much fun as it needs to be to grab the viewer.

Cinema Crazed

The film is nuts and never boring, bringing so much to screen, it’s easy to miss something, but as it warrants multiple watches, this is not really an issue for this film.

Rated: 3.5/5

Accion Mutante is a messy and chaotic sci-fi film and an even sloppier comedy, but it’s worth checking out for its ridiculously aggressive and amalgamated "futuristic" mayhem.

Rated: 3/5

Observer (UK)

By the time the characters have been introduced, the director has run out of inspiration.

The script is less important than the irreverent sense of comedy and violence, which will later get more sofisticated in other De la Iglesia stories. Also, some touches from Almodovar's production which do not fit bad.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Alex de la Iglesia se atreve en su debut con un cyberpunk a lo absurdo que resulta muy divertido y entretenido.

Una pelicula muy bizarra y extraÃ±a accion mutante es la opera prima del director Alex de la Iglesia que demuestra como le gusta hacer cine y como tiene un manejo interesante de los medios y de un humor negro muy peculiar de los espaÃ±oles que hacen a esta cinta algo divertidisimo!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
