As a huge fan of Zombie films, I was excited to get into Mutants. It being French didn't really matter to me. The shooting was well done, great gore, okay acting, but the storyline left me thinking "COME ON". The events that took places were just plain stupid. And somehow the main character ,a poor little white lady, survives.
*SPOILER ALERT* She kills a SOLDIER. Really a skilled person in the military? It was the French military, but even still. A paramedic shooting a really brute soldier in the face for no real reason? Come on. The main character also watched on two separate occasions people get eaten alive while she was holding a fully functional weapon. Then when she escapes to out of the building through a vent into a small area surrounded by fences, she wastes time trying to pull the lock when she had all the time in the world to climb over. But get this, the zombie catches up to her, and DOESN'T attack her. He sniffs her. Then she kills him. I was completely confused. But GET THIS. The zombies surround the fenced area. Just then the army comes, shooting them. Bullets fly everywhere, yet shes unscathed. It all seemed too cliché with the army coming to the rescue of the little innocent pregnant white lady. It all left me shaking my head at what could have been a spectacular zombie flick. 4 out of 10. Yes the storyline was that bad.
