The Mule

Rated R
1 hour 56 minutes
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Bradley Cooper, Dianne Wiest

I’ve always liked Clint Eastwood movies and this one is no exception!  Eastwood directed and stars in this film as Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who is broke and facing foreclosure of his horticulture business.  He’s also alone in life and just when things are about as bad as they can be for him, he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive.  He’s never had a ticket or even been pulled over, so seems like the perfect person for the job – and he does well at it – very well.  He enjoys the work and makes great money, but what he doesn’t realize is that he has just become a drug courier for a Mexican cartel.  Everything’s fine for a while, but the better he does, the more cargo he carries, and the more DEA agents start trying to track him down.  Eventually, Earl finds himself caught in the middle between the cartel’s enforcers and law enforcement, and it’s only a matter of time until something has to give!
