Broke, alone and facing foreclosure on his business, 90-year-old horticulturist Earl Stone takes a job as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel.

Interesting film and boosted by Eastwood commanding the lead role. There is a strong support cast but they don't get a lot of focus in the scheme of things. This is Eastwood's film and no one is going to get in the way. This is a good film and passes the time, but it is a safe film. The cartel moments are playful and there is a moment in the film that should've played out more violently. The film feels fluffy and nice when in reality it would be more sinister. Overall a good film. 07/10/2019

The main thrust of the plot isn't anything special but Eastwood seems to be using it to examine his own personal failings which gives the movie a deeply sad undercurrent.

An all-star cast help deliver this middle-of-the-road tale of an old geezer rebuilding the bridge to his disassociated family. This is possible mainly due to the mad money the guy makes by running drugs. The work is competent, unfortunately even while avoiding the inherent moral implications, or any thoughts of it, thereby reducing the thrust of the work to little better than an offering from Hallmark. What"s more interesting than the actual plot is how the artist relays knowledge of the cultural divisions in the United States and offers ideas as to dealing with them.

For all purposes, this is Gran Torino 2 - or how Clint Eastwood plays another cartoonish old geezer who has the depth of a saucer (and befuddling motivations) and is supposed to be funny by talking shit to strangers - so, let's just forget this and go for Breaking Bad instead.
