Jeff Wadlow just continues striking out these days. I mean,
when trailers for this film first reached cinemas, as soon as I saw this
guy’s name attached, my expectations for it nosedived pretty much instantly.
I’d say the dude is in the middle of a slump, but to be honest, I question if
he even had a high point in the first place. Between True Memoirs Of An International Assassin, Truth Or Dare, and even his earliest feature-length
outing with the embarrassingly twee Cry Wolf, he gives the impression of
someone desperately trying to find his niche through attempting just about
anything he can get his hands on, only for the end result to truly bring out
his ‘master of none’ status. And oh boy, does that come to a head with his
latest.

The Mule (2019) - Movie Review
After the tumultuous trainwreck that was last year’s 15:17 To Paris, I’ll admit that I was somewhat hesitant to see what Clint Eastwood
had in store for his next feature. I mean, I’ve gone on record about how I
don’t exactly agree with his politics, but I’m still willing to admit that when
he has the right material, he can pull through with some genuinely moving
cinema. And with him teaming up again with writer Nick Schenk, the scribe for
one of Eastwood’s true classics with Gran Torino, and stepping back into the
lead role for the first time since that effort, this at least has the potential
to be a step back in the right direction. Well, as I’ll get into, this
definitely works… although I question some of the aspects it ends up aiming
for.
