7/10
Based on a The New York Times Article
1 April 2019
In the 80´s, in Peoria, Illinois, the Korean War veteran Earl Stone (Clint Eastwood) is a ninety year-old horticulturist that has always prioritized his work and friends over his family. He is estranged by his ex-wife Mary (Dianne Wiest) and his daughter Iris (Alison Eastwood). When his granddaughter Ginny (Taissa Farmiga) is celebrating her engagement with her fiancé, Earl is completely broken and accepts to become a mule above any suspicion for the Mexican cartel transporting drugs from Illinois to Chicago and other places under the alias Tata. He makes money and resolves many financial issues of his family and friends. Meanwhile the efficient DEA Agent Colin Bates (Bradley Cooper) is in charge of investigating the notorious cartel and the mysterious Tata with his partner Agent Treviño (Michael Peña).

"The Mule" is a drama directed and produced by Clint Eastwood based on a The New York Times article. The story of a 90 year-old veteran of war transporting drugs for the Mexican cartel has Clint Eastwood in the lead role and supported by great names in the cast and is attractive. My vote is seven.
