Almost shockingly disappointing. A screenplay and plot not remotely worthy of its strong cast, though the chemistry between the actors makes this at least a passable film, but it's hard not to notice that every female character is basically a cartoon, though Dianne Wiest tries her hardest.

I'm not sure if I should give this a thumbs up or thumbs down. I had a few good laughs, both intentional and unintentional, but aside from that the movie comes across a very bleh. Scenes just kinda happen. Character motivation is either nonsense or nonexistent. There was nothing that was painful or unwatchable, but nothing good either.

This film has the distinction of being the last 2018 film I will watch prior to doling out my movie awards for the year. You'll be able to find those by searching Library Chess Productions on YouTube. As for the movie, Eastwood gives a solid performance in a movie that I'm sure aspired to be better than it wound up being. That's not a huge criticism, as I still enjoyed it, but I was left with a sense of "I'm not sure that's how the cartel works" by the end. A decent film to cap an average year.

Eastwood in relaxed Breaking Bad mode is a very, very good thing.

Another Clint Eastwood Classic. Must watch, hope this man lives forever, because he isn't done yet. A true master.

For Clint Eastwood to direct and star in a movie at his age and have it be relevant is truly impressive! Great drama.

Checks all the boxes for an aged film director in that there’s a lot of discussion about their place in the world, what has passed them by socially/politically/personally, their loneliness and lastly and most importantly their horniness. Sad sad picture

A crime film produced and directed by Clint Eastwood. This is Eastwood's first starring role in a film he directed since 2008's 'Gran Torino'. Eastwood's charming but at times racist performance is really good, but it's his directing that is even better. It may not be one of his best films but certainly not his worst. 'The Mule' does have some problems with it's stereotypical characters and poor acting by the supporting cast. This is still good acting and directing by a true movie legend.

I find it hard to rate this film - on one end I find most of the subplots and characters boring, but Eastwood's character is intriguing especially considering the mythos behind his film legacy. I would rate this highly if it were purely on the merits of his character and how well it shapes the hard-hitting climax/ending, but it doesn't salvage what is ultimately rote and rudimentary filmmaking. I'd look at this as a mediocre film that manages to serve as a fantastic character study of its lead.
