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?

I liked it, but I have an Eastwood bias.
