The Mule

Nobody runs forever

Sinopse

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.

**_Good enough Eastwood flick based on a true story_** A 90 years-old horticulturalist and war veteran (Clint Eastwood) inadvertently becomes a courier for a Mexican drug cartel. Will he continue to neglect his family? “The Mule” (2018) was directed by Eastwood and inspired by the real-life Leo Sharp. There are similarities to “Gran Torino” (2008), but not as much action. Long stretches natu

I never understood how people disagree with giving a movie either 10 or only 1 star here. Either it does it's job or it doesn't. The Mule is the kind of movie that my dad, rest his soul, would beg me to see in the theater with him, and then rave about after. A lonely old man that breaks a few laws in order to provide for his family and, in the process, gets himself into trouble with some bad

Clint Eastwood takes on the character of "Earl Stone", an elderly gent who takes great pride in his award winning flowers but one who is broke; facing the loss of his home and his business. He has to earn some cash, so takes on a job as a delivery driver. He's a Korean War vet, so whilst never quite sure what he is "delivering", he knows full well that the less police involvement with his antics,

This be good. I enjoyed 'The Mule'. It's an entertaining and well paced flick from 2018, as Clint Eastwood fully stars in a film for the first time since 2012's '<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/trouble-with-the-curve/" rel="nofollow">Trouble with the Curve</a>' - and first also as director since 2008's '<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/gran-torino/" rel="nofollow"

I wonder if Clint Eastwood is one of the few directors who could have gotten this movie made. It took me a while to get around to watching it, partly due to some of the negative buzz I heard out there in the Interworld. I suspect I liked this movie for the same reason a lot of the bad buzzy folks hated it. How many respected directors have the star power to get a movie made that, even with a v
