The Mule

2018 · Film · 116 min

Directed by Clint Eastwood

CrimeDrama

Earl Stone, a man in his eighties, is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he's just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does so well that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates.

    I'd actually put one in for Clint Eastwood.

    Although most popular knowledge about him revolves around his earlier acting career (Westerns, Dirty Harry), you'll notice a distinct change in many of his films once he started directing.

    Maverick? He's a younster. I just streamed 'The Mule', starring and directed by Clint Eastwood (about 90 years old).

    The action wasn't so violent, but the plot was good and the movie worth watching. Count me as a fan of older actors, when the vehicle is right.
