[Awards Cinema] The Mule starring Clint Eastwood and Bradley Cooper

Am hoping it ends up having something in common with THE LOBSTER but looks unlikely based on trailer.

 

Modded version of Unforgiven.

 

He blew his cover when he called them pee-cans instead of pe-khans when talking to the Texas state trooper.

 

Some backstory: This will be the 2nd of 4 films that take place in the same universe as Gran Torino, called the Eastwood Universe.

Spoiler

Not true.

 

IDK if I like this male white washed remake of 'Maria Full of Grace.'

 

Its based on a true story.

 

Looking forward to this. Eastwood still delivers.

 

I had a little trouble engaging that film but Weisz was pretty endearing in the latter half; I've never made a list but she'd probably be right at the top.

 

i saw the trailer for this the other day when i went to see bohemian rhapsody.. got gran torino feels from it. idk if it will be that badass or not. may check this one out though

 

I'm in

 

they don't look like mules.

 

Mules are notoriously difficult to work with on set. I've read that Eastwood used humans in mule costume in some scenes, and CGI mules in other scenes, depending on whether the script called for close ups of facial expressions versus action sequences.

 

Did anyone see this on the big screen? I got it yesterday at Redbox and was really surprised at how good a job Clint Eastwood did playing his roll. It's a slow paced movie, and you don't have to be glued to the screen to still get into this show. It's no Gran Torino, so you may as well accept that part of it.
