Clint Eastwood in Hollywood is not just a long-liver, but a real living legend, which everyone knows as a star of the Westren, and loves him for his charisma, and appreciates the director’s talent for “Baby in a Million” and “Gran Torino”. Eastwood no longer needs to prove anything to anyone – he has been accepted by the cinema for a long time, we respect and even honor him. So now Clint is shooting a movie for his own pleasure – he just wants to tell a story, and he tells it. And he cannot but be respected for it. Because, firstly, he achieved such status, reputation and opportunities on his own, and secondly, he still does his job with his characteristic quality and enviable professionalism. Which once again proves the just-released Drug Tracker (The Mule, 2018), which, with one of its trailers, drove the sophisticated viewer to the movies.
Is this film worthy of awards? It is difficult to say, given that they have bypassed him this year (perhaps we will hear about him again next year), but we have an unusually high-quality crime drama. Not like the usual strong representatives of the genre like the masterpieces of Mann or Scorsese. This is an independent film, the author of which does not copy anyone (except perhaps a bit like the Cohen brothers), he does everything himself, in his own handwriting, which is captivating. The picture’s narration is not urgent, there will not be bright skirmishes or chases (if only a little bit, and then the driving and exciting this spectacle can not be called), the speed of story telling fully coincides with the age and activity of the main character (and he is quite active – itÂs necessary to decide to carry drugs by centners at ninety years!), Which, although it is a criminal, causes sympathy, pity, a share of respect.
Before us is a veteran of the Second World War, an exemplary worker, a lover of flowers and a gardener, but a disgusting husband and father, who constantly missed all important family dates and holidays, could not please his family. And he decided to correct his life by responding to the offer “to earn some money.” The plot of the film is very simple in appearance, it can fit into a short article of the newspaper, but the most interesting part of this story is its real basis. The film is based on real events, which stirs interest in the film.
The drama of the picture, in many ways, lies precisely in the issue of attention that a person gives to the family. Because of the eternal haste and desire to arrange their lives, people often spend all their time and energy not on what they need, and only at the end of life with experience they realize that they were wrong. ÂItÂs impossible to buy time, the main character constantly repeats the character Bradley Cooper, and itÂs impossible not to disagree by watching him constantly apologize to his family. Eastwood plays his role just fine, he lives in the frame of the life of a complex person with a complex history, but deserving of such a film incarnation. You look at this lovely grandfather, such Âdivine dandelion, and it is simply impossible to treat him negatively, although he and the viewer very quickly realize that he is a criminal. Which is very well shown in the final. By the way, without humor in the picture, too, nowhere – and he is also connected with our granddaddy, who is still Âhoo and capable of many things, which he more than once surprises both the characters of the film and the viewer. And it really will be fun.
And this film is the struggle of the old generation and the new. Twentieth Century and Twenty-first. Conservatism and future changes. If the first here is Eastwood himself, then the second is his main star from the “Sniper”, Bradley Cooper, who played here the drug control operative, who comes to see Earl (this is the name of the old courier). And Cooper is really good here. With his past images (including law enforcement), this image has little in common. Here, in all seriousness, Cooper is playing a slick opera, famously unwinding a really important thing from the bullshit. The vivid image of a person who really lives his work, and constantly disappears on it, which in turn is noticed by the hero Eastwood, pointing out to the young special agent that this could harm the family. Their relationship is very interesting against the background of the game between themselves in cat and mouse, although they are barely familiar, but it is the criminal and the federal who form the most powerful and interesting duet in this film, which with its chemistry even more stimulates interest in the climax. We can not say about the young star, the beautiful Taissa Farmiga, who played the granddaughter of the protagonist. When she is in the frame, her eyes can not be removed. Michael Pe?a and Lawrence Fishburne in the role of the feds (Lawrence, as always, the demanding chief of the protagonist, Cooper) provided some good support to a couple of the main actors, and as additional familiar faces in the frame were credited. Special thanks for the lighted in a small role (as always the drug lord) Andy Garcia – for a long time this remarkable actor was not visible on the big screen.
Well, for which it is worth separately to praise the film – this is for the camera work. The constant taste of the protagonist from various angles of the chic Lincoln protagonist (also a kind of humorous moment when the granddaddy changes the old battered pickup to a brand new off-road vehicle of premium class) forget that the main character lives on these trips, has lived with them all his life, and it is with the help of the excellent work of the operator that they have found such a thing in such a life.
