Synopsis
The movie is based on a 2014 New York Times Magazine feature by Sam Dolnick and follows Earl Stone (Eastwood), a man in his 80s who 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 signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel, and also hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates (Cooper).

Critics' reviews 12

"A problematic character that director Clint Eastwood knows exactly how to make charming (...) 'The Mule' could do better where its identity politics are concerned, and that’s perhaps the biggest letdown"

"Engaging, humorous and, it would seem, quite personal (...) There is visual vitality here resulting from the first collaboration between the director and Canadian cinematographer Yves Belanger"
