Synopsis

"Freaks" meets "X-Men" in this twisted, politically incorrect sci-fi satire from outlaw Spanish auteur Alex de la Iglesia ("The Day of the Beast") and producer Pedro Almodovar. A band of handicapped and mutant terrorists attacking society's standards of physical beauty kidnap a pretty socialite. The outlaws take her to a distant planet in hopes of getting big dough from her bakery tycoon father, but all hell breaks loose when they discover their leader has his own plans for the hostage and the ransom.

Critics' reviews

"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."

Budd Wilkins: Slant
"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."

Derek Malcolm: The Guardian
"Whatever bizarre charm the film first possessed becomes engulfed in unfunny sick humor."

Geoff Brown: Time Out
"Despite the promising premise and frantic energy, the film is nowhere near as much fun as it needs to be to grab the viewer."
