Ever seen a film about cops trying to catch drug dealers? About 100 times? Ever go to that old mall at the edge of town on a beautiful day and watch as the single, senile, geriatric people walk in laps because they're too afraid of the outside world-never thinking twice about all the time they've clocked in? Ever watch paint dry? Sometimes watching the elderly wander about or that dumb movie for the 101st time, or just zoning out doing nothing at all is alright enough. The Mule is alright enough

Eastwood the veteran actor does all he can to save the film and turn into a fascinating look at an aging man looking to finally gain the affection of his family. It falls apart mid way through the second act when zero of his relationships are awarded enough definition and are glossed over for the sake of reminder. Had writer Nick Schenk focused more on those dynamics the final act could have been more powerful. The drug run montages hurt because thanks to the title we already knew the plot.

As usual Clint Eastwood provides a good character study into his own character while neglecting all the others around him. You can literally summarize the others: Mexican drug lord, ex-wife, wishful granddaughter (more like a great-granddaughter!), cartel goons, snitch...the plot isn't any deeper either. If the bad guys are keeping careful watch on him, why do they bother paying him so much? I also expected threats to his family which didn't happen. Fav scene: social commentary w/profiling?

again eastwood pleas with a declining america to veer from his own regrettable path, complicating symbols of the american dream without stripping them of their innate allure, unmasking oblivious privilege and misplaced priorities on both a personal and institutional level. he doesn't always give the viewer enough credit, and i'd prefer a harsher ending and less shitty grandad jokes, but even so nobody understands and critiques the US from the inside quite like clint.

I don't know if Clint Eastwood plays an old kook so well because he's a great actor or because he's an old kook himself now. Either way, he's a joy to watch here. The Mule's plot is nothing special and definitely takes some creative liberties with how cartels operate, but it's a surprisingly good movie. Small touches like Eastwood's character's fondness for flowers and his desire to travel off the beaten path, in spite of the risks of his new occupation, really breathe life into this script.

Standard regretful-old-man drama is bolstered by the welcome return of Clint to the big screen. Time has not really diminished his presence or skill, at least not in front of the camera, and there is a certain fascination in watching him play a man who is forced to become a drug mule in his twilight years out of sheer desperation, but his direction is rote and the narrative decisions are purely by the book. Lacking an element of surprise, it simply goes through the motions and never takes off.

Passable drama coasts on the good will inherent in seeing Eastwood directing his favourite actor again, and the novelty of his performance as a character in dangerously over his head. Skirts credibility in its depiction of law enforcement, as well as some very naïve drug dealers; did Earl *have* to indulge in so much extraneous race-baiting? A well-stocked supporting cast is given little to do, bar Wiest delivering the first painfully overwrought and unconvincing performance of her career.

Eastwood's "grumpy old man who's mildly racist and can still lay some pipe" routine is really getting tiresome, and without that, there wouldn't be much of a movie.

“My 88 year old penis still has some fight in it. You will know my mule.” Eastwood looks like he is about to shatter at any second.
