Discuti Il corriere - The Mule

Pretty good film; if people like Clint Eastwood in films more appropriate to his age (such as Gran Torino), they'll probably like this movie.

Anyhow, a former coworker of mine sort of lived this life for awhile. He's now in his 60s, gray-haired, a bit pudgy and a grandfather; you'd never guess he ran drugs until his late 40s. He said his secret to never getting caught was that he was white, wore glasses, didn't have tattoos, dressed conservatively, never had a particularly threatening physique, and was never flashy.

Blew past the cops every time with a car full of drugs, while watching others get pulled over and arrested. He finally got popped for DUI (alcohol) around 48 and decided to turn his life around, leaving the drug-running life behind; but he was never caught for the drugs.

Just goes to show that someone who appears to be an "upstanding citizen" may be anything but.

Incidentally, he said that when he was selling drugs, his best three clients were a doctor, a lawyer, and an insurance agent . . . people many would've never suspected of partaking in the cocaine.

except Earl was pretty flashy about it buying new black Lincoln and wearing big golden bracelet, he probably didn't care, but it was not very smart, should have chosen some used truck and the best most common model (that would be F150 I guess), same with throwing away money to restaurant etc., I am suprised the word didn't get around from his surroundings

Good points, Markoff.

But, we must remember-- Earl was 90. Ninety! I'm sure suspicions would've been raised, but I don't think ANYONE would've suspected the cash-- in Earl's case --was coming from drug-running.

You can get away with A LOT when you are elderly-- people cut you slack and just figure you're a little eccentric because you're, well, OLD.

i thought they said hyperbole he is "like 90", but never specifically said his age, I doubt he was really 90, more like 80s, but not big stretch considering he is 89 in real life next month
