The Mule [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2018]

Great movie where u see a humble yet dark side of Clint east wood in this I wanna call a crime thriller

This movie struck me as very similar to the part Eastwood played in Gran Torino.

Have not watched yet but I am looking forward to doing so

Clint Eastwood does a good job on this movie of a senior citizen who is about to lose everything, so he decides to become a drug mule for the cartel to make some money. This movie is loosely based on a true story, the real mans name is Leo Sharp and he spent one year in federal prison after he was caught, Mr. Sharp was married unlike in the movie and he died in 2016. The movie is not 100% true to all the events but a lot of the events likely will never be known as Mr. Sharp was working for the cartel. It is said Mr. Sharp had tried to get out but the cartel would not let him. The movie still does a good job and provides an interesting story line of what Mr. Sharp did. I don't want to go to far into the movie and spoil it for those who might be interested in it. One thing that is true to the actual events is Mr. Sharp made 1.4 million dollars as a cartel drug mule and he did share the money with many worthy charity causes. While what Mr. Sharp did was wrong he still used a lot of the ill gotten gains to do some good. This is a good human interest story that was based loosely off of true events. On thing I would like to add is in the movie they use a Lincoln pick up truck, that is a true detail as Mr. Sharp also used a Lincoln pick up truck when he was a drug mule.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray Clint Eastwood's latest film, The Mule (2018), starring Clint Eastwood, Bradley Cooper, Dianne Wiest, Michael Peña, and Laurence Fishburne. The two releases will be available for purchase on April 2. Synopsis: Earl Stone (Clint Eastwood) is a man in his 80s who is broke, alone and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he's just signed on as a drug courier for the cartel. He does well—so well, in fact, that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl is assigned a handler. But he isn't the only one keeping tabs on Earl; the mysterious new drug mule has also hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates (Bradley Cooper). And even as his money problems become a thing of the past, Earl's past mistakes start to weigh heavily on him, and it's uncertain if he'll have time to right those wrongs before law enforcement, or the cartel's enforcers, catch up to him.

Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" is my number-one favorite film of all time. It's a film-poem of exquisite beauty, depth, and meaning along many morality themes. Like a good number of his latter-day films, it concerns an older man looking back on a life with regrets. And while he's had some underwhelming missteps as a director since then, he's first and foremost a cinematic artist and craftsman of genius talent. I'd place this film, "The Mule", in roughly that same category of films he masters so easily. A man who has made choices that have caused him to fail his wife and daughter. But he's trying to make amends somehow, even though the way he ends up doing it is yet another misstep, albeit a well-intentioned misstep. This is one of Clint's best, and another favorite for me.

A great drama suspense film. Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he's just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does well -- so well, in fact, that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl is assigned a handler. But he isn't the only one keeping tabs on Earl; the mysterious new drug mule has also hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates. And even as his money problems become a thing of the past, Earl's past mistakes start to weigh heavily on him.

Another solid film from Eastwood and great to see him in a starring role again after the fantastic Gran Torino! A film full of comedy, drama and sentiment with all round good performances from a star studded cast with the most entertaining role, of course, being Clint. A small little fact: All Clint's clothes in the film are recycled from previous films to give it a more period authenticity! Worth a watch due to the fact that this could really be his last starring role and goes out on a high note!
