Clint Eastwood takes out a unique story inspired by a real life account where a 90 years old guy was arrested while working as a Mule, who carries drugs across borders, for the drug-lords.
He himself acted as that Mule driver. What was his compulsion to turn into a Mule at this old age, would be the question to everybody who would watch this film.
This question is not very well addressed.
Instead, Client Eastwood looks into what all things one would have missed with the family, when that person totally away from all family people throughout his life and finally regrets about them at the age of 90.
As a director he executed the script very well. The spontaneity of Earl even when he was taking millions of worth of drugs, interacting moments with his wife, daughter and grand daughter are usual emotional sequences. Dianne wiest gave some good performance as Eastwood's wife.
Photography, music are following Eastwood's directing tune and good. His favourite editor Joex Cox edited. Good as usual.
If the script focused on few other things along with Eastwood's spontaneous character, film would have become more of a classic.
I am his ardent fan. Considering his directing career, this is another watchable film of Eastwood.
At this age, his passion into good cinema is what is more amazing to me.
