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 exponentialIy, and Earl is assigned a handler. But he isn’t the onIy one keeping tabs on Earl; the mysterious new drug muIe has also hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent CoIin Bates. And even as his money problems become a thing of the past, EarI’s past mistakes start to weigh heaviIy on him, and it’s uncertain if he’lI have time to right those wrongs before Iaw enforcement, or the cartel’s enforcers, catch up to him. |
