MUTANTS **

2sur5 Survival in a post-apocalyptic hell and only white French film presented in Gerardmer in 2009, this pure action-movie gore appears mostly as an excuse to spread some sleazy exploits (vomiting blood etc..). In the first half, Mutants is a game of cat and mouse in a huge disused building between a couple where the man is in full decay physical point of boredom but soon a rescue team joined the alleged besieged citadel, now HQ of the last men. Program, internal tensions (but nevertheless persistent bad shape) and zombie attacks (trash as it should).
*
History and issues are minimal, only the graphic violence and the sense of reality of Helen Fougerolles are not purged. The set will nevertheless tempered by mutual affection of two protagonists, but even supposedly heartbreaking times, it's incredibly clumsy, incoherent view, inadequate to the whole.
*
However, Mutants is attentive to load a sensual chaos, the expression of dominant natural power relationships most prosaic (with some ill-dualities assumed wise / pragmatic decision maker mean / obsessed follower or assistant forced) work and the film brings some consistency.
*
It wants to be quick to encourage the French genre cinema, especially since it seemed to try to awaken in the 2000s - but that so too humble artisans or there expressionless geeks come to doubt the prospects for , horrific hexagonal, which seems especially to young technicians used a little punks get their hands without seeking the invention. If Mutants rises a little above the fray, it is based on limited intentions, particularism (in terms of scenario ideas as icons) almost non-existent, apart from its aesthetic environment.
*
There is still fit the barbaque, sometimes the odd (since the mutant) and many human conflict. Primal but silly. It looks like the exhibition of the imagination a fan of video games: everything looks like a pub survival we are at the forefront (if not the hero), with sound effects and graphics power but no spirit and no construction (ie Outpost with less supernatural than symbol, but more involvement).
*
Mutants will not be among the major (high voltage), not to rank among the stews shameful way the Horde. It occupies a rather intermediate still lagging behind other equally basic but stylish Inside. There will still feel pregnant that it's all that lost time is a lap honest but linearity, a disconcerting simplicity. Fortunately, the last half hour just boost this penauderie stirred outrage to accomplish a big carnival. And then retain beautiful physical demonstrations, especially respectable When it built the film's budget.
