The Mule- Clint Eastwood!
Saw the trailer run before Bohemian Rhapsody. Looks amazing. Eastwood Stars and Directs. He better dust off his shelf for another Oscar award!
Broke, alone and facing foreclosure on his business, Earl Stone takes a job as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. His immediate success leads to easy money and a larger shipment that soon draws the attention of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates. When Earl's past mistakes start to weigh heavily on his conscience, he must decide whether to right those wrongs before law enforcement and cartel thugs catch up to him. Release date: December 14, 2018 (USA) Director: Clint Eastwood Based on: "The Sinaloa Cartel's 90-Year-Old Drug Mule"; by Sam Dolnick Produced by: Clint Eastwood Production companies: Malpaso Productions, Bron Studios Cast: Clint Eastwood Taissa Farmiga Bradley Cooper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_QksSzK7sI |

I loved Gran Torino. I didn't bother seeing it in the theater, but it was far from the worst movie I've ever seen...

I liked Gran Torino. But this, I mean, why the **** would I want to go see a movie about some geriatric drug mule? The entire premise just seems like some awful part of life that I'd just as soon not know about.

At this point, just go for the brilliance that is Eastwood. Both directing and acting. Enjoy his work while he's still putting it out.

I heard this sucked and was only better than his previous garbage film that used the gimmicky method of having the real people play themselves. Can anybody confirm?

agreed, it was not as good as hoped. Rather jumpy in parts, they skip around especially towards the beginning rather abruptly.

The dude is 88 years old, still starring in movies. Quite amazing.

Gran Torino was shit. The acting was pathetic, the level of casual racism by Clint's character was so over the top it was cartoonish, and his character's brilliant plan to beat the bad guys was ludicrous and contradicted everything we had learned about the neighborhood throughout the movie.
But, other than that...no, actually it still sucked. The only way that POS movie could have been saved is if Clyde from the "Any Which Way" movies showed and slaughtered the gangbangers with a straight-razor. |

Yep, that movie was fantastic. While this one isn't quite as good as Gran Torino, it holds it own. Gran Torino 9/10 and The Mule 7.5/10. I consider Gran Torino to be some of his best work.
