Watching "The Mule" is like stopping by to see your eccentric grandparents on the way to an amusement park - you're drawn in by their oddly lackadaisical storytelling for a little while and spend your time on something more entertaining just out of reach, but you respect them too much to leave early. Clint Eastwood has gotten to that point in life where he just can't hold a film quite like he used to, too slow and not witty enough to keep the audience's interest for long. But there's enough suspense and personal tragedy to keep this from getting too boring.
Final Grade: C-
