Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas and Dale Basye take a ride with Clint Eastwood’s 2018 film The Mule. Inspired by a true story, The Mule follows Earl Stone, an elderly horticulturist who inadvertently becomes a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. As he navigates a dangerous underworld, Earl is forced to confront his past mistakes, estranged family, and the unexpected consequences of his choices. With Eastwood directing and starring, the film blends crime drama with a poignant meditation on aging, redemption, and the price of a life lived on the margins. Is The Mule a gripping and introspective late-career triumph for Eastwood, or does it stall under its own weight? Find out on Uncertain Age!
