About this movie

Eastwood stars as Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he’s just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does well—so well, in fact, that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl is assigned a handler. But he isn’t the only one keeping tabs on Earl; the mysterious new drug mule has also hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates. And even as his money problems become a thing of the past, Earl’s past mistakes start to weigh heavily on him, and it’s uncertain if he’ll have time to right those wrongs before law enforcement, or the cartel’s enforcers, catch up to him.

Ratings and reviews

If he had got away with it id give it 4 stars as Clint Eastwood has made some great films, but the ending of him being put in prison was stupid bearing in mind his age. I kept on thinking he'd die driving the last run and that would be the ending, or that hed get away with it because of his wifes funeral slowing him down. But he gets caught instead and thats when his family act like they actually care about him.

Good film up until the end where it ruined the film because the editing cuts away from the film and doesn't explain the cuts and bloody face and escape?

Fantastic film well worth a watch 👌
