It seems to be an exciting story about a dangerous world of cocaine trade. The story tells about one of the veterans of the Korean War, who is facing a financial ruin, scattered about his family, Earl Stone. Earl Stone, 83, is still desperate to get money. Earl begins his life by becoming a drug dealer and transporting cocaine from El Paso to Chicago. After a short time, he becomes a kind of Robin Hood with his bad money, as he tries to re-office at FW and pays for his daughter's wedding. In the end, Earl will be chased by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the cartel, which could change things.
Once you get past the outrageous nature of its true-life premise, this crime drama stumbles in its attempt to confront a deeper moral complexity, instead opting for a predictable redemption saga.
The story at its core deals with matters that have long been Mr. Eastwood's professional, and clearly personal, concern... When the old man finally mans up to his failings, the movie succeeds with special poignancy.
Tonally, this thing is a disaster, and you can only conclude that its maker, capable of sharp ironies as recently as 2014's American Sniper, didn't fully digest the material.
There's nothing heroic about Earl, but in Eastwood's 38th film as a director, he makes the character a felonious centerpiece as likable as anyone could ever imagine.
