As much as I love C E (and I think Gran Torino was one of the best movies ever) this was slow, and unrealistically simplistic. Major drug cartel is going to trust this novice mule with a $12M shipment, and not put a gps on his truck OR THE PHONE THEY GAVE HIM???
And the feds are going to make their mark by busting the mule instead of going up the cartel ladder? We see the boss ordering Earls death, but apparently they bloodied him up and sent him on his way with the shipment. And the guy who didn't even know how to text recognizes he's a mule, he gets stopped by a cop with a drug sniffing dog, deflects the dog and pacified the cop with some popcorn. Really? Anybody but Clint and Cooper and this wouldn't get 3 nights in theaters!
