The Mule (2014)
This movie is an instruction manual on not to be a mule
This was a really great movie - a unique story told mostly in the bed of a hotel room . There is no sex but some violence. Our mule does not speak much but that the point. Mules are not very smart -they are good and carrying though. The cops are cast well and the Australian production is very enjoyable. I would caution anyone watching this film to not eat any food during the film. The mule's mum and dad play there parts so well and the mob boss who is wound up with aggression -its just a matter of time before someone gets waked. I think the Mule's boss is badly stereotyped as the Jewish TV repair owner,but he is so funny and callous when he wont allow the Mule to take his 30 minute lunch - The Mule quits and owner says Come back - take 35 minutes for lunch. This movie is full of wit and humor while it deals with a very deadly subject.
Beyond the Reach (2014)
Beyond me
Its a shame Michael Douglas feels the need to make this simplistic, sardonic movie - He is a great actor and this is way below his standard. Jeremy Irvine shot mor ebullets (and he didn't shoot many) than he spoke words. Giving his girlfriend his gun at the beginning of the movie was a big fat tell, you just know that gun is going to be used at some point in the movie.How about the last minute. The acting between Ben and Laina is so manufactured, there is no emotion and their lines are so cheesy The movie had an extremely small cast made only $45,895 Its beyond me how they are going to pay Michael Douglas. Oh and the simple story is about and rich old man following a young tracker in the wilderness hoping he dies from heat stroke. The star of the movie is a 6 wheel Mercedes Benz SUV.
