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. May 8, 2023 Full Review Derek Malcolm Guardian 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. May 11, 2021 Full Review Stephen Amidon Financial Times Despite the promising premise and frantic energy, the film is nowhere near as much fun as it needs to be to grab the viewer. Apr 21, 2021 Full Review Emilie Black 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 Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Chris Sawin Hub Pages 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 Jul 20, 2022 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) By the time the characters have been introduced, the director has run out of inspiration. May 11, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Alex de la Iglesia se atreve en su debut con un cyberpunk a lo absurdo que resulta muy divertido y entretenido. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Debut de Alex de la Iglesia, original y gamberra. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Just a movie where you could scream "what the fuck !" every minute or so. Excentric, crazy, funny and innovative ! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Una pelicula muy bizarra y extraña 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 españoles que hacen a esta cinta algo divertidisimo! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member SF black comedy, one more crazy movie by Alex de la iglesia, surly like other of hes movies not for everyone for sure, but it's good movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
