"Viewing: 1st Format: Blu-ray Thoughts: I was hesitant to give this a watch as it got lukewarm reviews and just felt like it was going to be a slow, uneventful film. But being that this is Clint Eastwood I had to give it a watch. Sure enough the man can still make an enjoyable film at his age which is quite remarkable.

Indeed, The Mule made me laugh more than virtually any comedy released during 2018, but the jokes aren't dumb or slapstick - the"

" As a director Eastwood seems to be going down a strange path. I love his ability to experiment at his ripe old age, but this one fell a little flat. Still, he no doubt is the big sell as the main actor. Too bd the supporting cast seems second rate. The movie left me with thinking he could have made this a better movie ten years ago. "
