At 88 years old, Clint Eastwood might be the hardest-working man in Hollywood. And now, with his second directorial outing of 2018 — and his best film since at least “Letters from Iwo Jima” in 2006, and perhaps 1993’s “A Perfect World” before that — he’s finally explained…
davidehrlichDec 20, 2018A movie about how Eastwood is really sad that there’s only a finite amount of time on this earth for us to enjoy its comforts, like singing along to "cool water", dancing to polka music and devouring pulled pork (and ice cream) sandwiches. Which, honestly, same. But also a…

🎵tell me something Earl, are you happy in this modern world?🎵
Matt ErspamerDec 18, 2018Marketed as a thriller, this is actually a beautiful, contemplative film about singing along to the car radio, enjoying a pulled pork sandwich, dancing at the legion, learning from your accidental racism, and staying sexually active at 90.
Will SloanDec 10, 2018Could be five stars if you were 80 years old, racist, and had terrible taste in film

Riding along with a ghost. The big road, the open space of possibility and time and the texture of fiction, of past regrets and present privileges. Careful modulated. As often with Eastwood deeply felt, but not devoid of awkward moments that are there for plot concerns…
Filipe FurtadoDec 14, 2018I thought this was a better version of Clint reckoning with himself than GRAN TORINO, although admittedly that was more legacy work and this is decidedly more personal. Huge bummer that Clyde didn't show up.
matt lynchComo en toda buena película que mira al cine clásico o que bebe del cine clásico, su belleza está en la simpleza, y la complejidad, inteligentemente, se solapa entre medio de una historia divertida, algo aún más valorable teniendo en cuenta que hoy sobran películas…

Mark Bateman lovedThe Mule9/10 A determined provider who got caught up in their career, upon stepping back years later found their lost it all, reaching to make it better, took a courier job (aged 90yrs) not aware at the time it was for a Mexican cartel drug business. A true story. Loved it, Recommend.
Simon Olson likedThe MuleGood plot just needed some more action, honestly Clint Eastwood does really good for being 86 when he filmed this. Love that he added scenes where is banging various women, that’s legend energy. 7.75/10⭐️

Marcus Aguilar dislikedThe MuleLegitimately one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. As if it was written by a senile old man, and edited by a toddler with a keyboard.

This movie wasn't full of action, in some places you had to use your imagination. Small amount of violence, some cursing. Actually they didn't even show drugs that much... So why 5 stars? Because Clint Eastwood is an excellent Director/ actor and this movie was a good one.…

JVJesus VillarrealI was a little disappointed. There was hardly any action and it was boring. Sorry. I saw it because my dad is a huge Clint Eastwood fan

It’s perfectly watchable but a film with this puttering pace is never going to get the blood racing.

This movie is as much a eulogy for a country that Eastwood sees as slowly crumbling as it is for the life Earl chose to lead.

Eastwood is known for his ruthless efficiency as a filmmaker, but The Mule feels dashed off at best, barely even a movie. It’s a strange rough draft, poorly executed and disastrously performed, despite the starry cast.
