About The Mule
This story of Eastwood as an unlikely drug mule is, in equal measure, a sharp and self-critical confessional and a relaxed (in every sense) road movie. The Mule finds the aged auteur grappling with his conspicuous physical frailty, and his recognition of his failures as a husband and a father. This latter subject is by no means new territory for Eastwood—who acts alongside his real-life daughter Alison in The Mule—nor is the cross-cut chase structure that harkens back to the films of Alfred Hitchcock and to the director’s own masterpiece, A Perfect World (1993). Eastwood’s extraordinarily personal latest also reveals the actor-director in the role of mentor to first-time 2018 director Bradley Cooper (A Star Is Born), who co-stars as a DEA agent hot on the elderly criminal’s trail.
