The Mule

Clint Eastwood stars and directs himself in a role starting to be a typecast for him. Curmudgeonly old guy, racist but charming. Here he loses his business and home and with remarkable easy, becomes a drug cartels most successful drug transporter, moving heroin from El Paso to Chicago.  Rolling in money yet matter of fact about what he is doing, this is a pretty flat character drama without a significant story arc. Instead, it is a "slice of life", albeit an out of the ordinary life. 

3 stars (out of 5)
