Well into his eighties Clint Eastwood continues to direct stellar movies and in many cases star in them.
In The Mule Eastwood both directs and stars in a film based on a real event.
Eastwood stars as Earl Stone who is in his eighties and faces foreclosure, bankruptcy and destitution.
With no one to turn to he agrees to take a driving job that by all appearances seems perfectly innocent and easy money.
It’s not until later that he finds out that he is transporting drugs for a dangerous Mexican drug cartel.
Can he right a wrong before the cartel and the police close in?
The Mule is a harrowing tale of a man pushed to his breaking point and despite the circumstances decides to take a stand.
The Warner Bros. Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Combo Pack also includes a ‘making of’ featurette and a special music video by Toby Keith.
Despite his age Eastwood delivers a powerful and sympathetic performance of a desperate man who realizes his mistakes and takes whatever it takes to rectify them.
