A 90 year old horticulturalist and Korean War veteran (Clint Eastwood) is caught transporting $3 million worth of cocaine through Illinois for a Mexican drug cartel.
"Eastwood's latest thriller is a tender, conflicted, and sometimes very funny meditation on what America conditions people to want for themselves - on how natural it can be to forget who you are in a country where work is an identity unto itself." - David Ehrlich, indieWire
"The Mule thrives in teasing ambiguity...For decades now, Eastwood has been one of the great interrogators of American social mores. 4/4." - Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
"It's the detours on Eastwood's road movie- the stops along the way that show an old man dealing with the dim possibilities of change near the end of his life - that reveal this drug-mule-in-winter drama as a deeply personal reckoning." - Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
