Outside of Eastwood’s unprecedented staying power as a major star, director, and composer, what makes this success so surprising is that his little movie was released without much fanfare or advanced publicity. Many believe this was due to the studio’s fears about some of the movie’s content.
The Mule (you can read my review here) is based on the true story of 90-year-old Leo Sharp, who worked for a decade as a drug mule for a Mexican drug cartel. Eastwood does not shy away from presenting people, including his own character, as they really are, and this resulted in a number of moments that offended the Woke Fascists who currently rule the entertainment industry, and do so like a gang of low-rent Joe McCarthys.
