The Mule (2018)

The Mule (2018). Rented this movie from Redbox and watched it tonight. My first thought when it started was, "Fuck! Clint Eastwood is looking old." I IMDBed him and found that he was born in 1939. He'll be 89 years old in May this year. Yep, he IS old!!

Anyway, he played his character — an old, 90-yr-old to be exact, man — well enough. I mean he IS an 89-yr-old man! Was it 'award'-worthy? I'm not sure if he or the movie was up for any but I would say no, not really. It wasn't a character that any actor/actress would have to go above and beyond to portray. It was just a matter-of-fact no-nonsense role.

I guess the overall tone of the movie was somber but it did have some occasional happy and/or 'comedic' parts. Don't expect a whole lot of action and adventure but more of a decently told story.

FINAL VERDICT: It's worth a watch for a low rental fee or if it is being streamed on something for which you're already paying. Again, you may have difficulty staying focused if you're used to action, adventure and excitement but it is interesting enough to watch.
