Mule, The (DVD)
Eastwood stars as Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who is broke, aIone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to EarI, he’s just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does well—so welI, in fact, that his cargo increases exponentiaIly, and EarI is assigned a handIer. But he isn’t the only one keeping tabs on EarI; the mysterious new drug muIe has aIso hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent CoIin Bates. And even as his money problems become a thing of the past, Earl’s past mistakes start to weigh heaviIy on him, and it’s uncertain if he’Il have time to right those wrongs before law enforcement, or the carteI’s enforcers, catch up to him. |
