Mute Review: 4 Ups & 6 Downs

4. Sam Rockwell's Cameo Is A Total Disappointment

Sam Rockwell Moon Movie
Sony Pictures Classics

Jones piqued a lot of fans' interest when he confirmed a long time ago that Sam Rockwell would have a cameo in the film, reprising his Sam Bell role from Jones' brilliant directorial debut Moon.

Sadly Rockwell's appearance, which is spread over two separate scenes, lasts maybe 30 seconds in total and adds very little to the film or the overall sense of world-building.

It's a vaguely cute Easter egg for Moon fans more than anything, but if you were hoping to see Sam Bell interacting with this world and a significant bridge being created between the two films, you'll most certainly be left wanting.
