The Mule (2018)
Shallow, Overly Simplistic, and Lacking Creativity
6 January 2019 - 198 out of 309 users found this review helpful.
I was preparing an in-depth review, but this film doesn't deserve one.
The good:
-Clint Eastwood
-Supporting cast
-Music score and soundtrack
-A couple strong moments (Earl and Mary's last convo, Earl and Agent Bates' last convo)
The bad:
-Shallow characters
-Story lacks detail and complexity
-Tonally uneven
-The purpose and message of the film was conveyed in an unimaginative and cliche manner
If you love Eastwood, check it out. You might enjoy it. Sadly, his character is the only one with any nuance, substance, or layers. The plot is developed poorly without enough detail to make the viewer feel immersed or invested in what's going on.
