Yay my friend's HBOGo.
Clint Eastwood is an old man that is beloved. He's a vet, has a great relationship with his granddaughter, and has quite a green thumb. He also has an estranged wife and daughter. He's got a bit of money trouble and he can address it via a chance meeting. So he does and becomes the greatest drug mule ever.
Andy Garcia is a drug lord. Bradley Cooper, Lawrence Fishburne, and Michael Pena are the feds that are WAY too obsessed with a mule rather than drug dealers.
This has to be considered a black comedy. It's a drama technically, but throughout it's so absurd that it's very difficult to take it seriously. Even when the heavy stuff takes place you're just waiting for the humor.
It was a good film, I'm just not sure what it was about. What was the message?

“Every record been destroyed or falsified, books rewritten, pictures repainted, statues, street building renamed, every date altered. The process is continuing day by day. History stops. Nothing exists except endless present in which the Party is right.”

I liked it, but I have an Eastwood bias.
