A female American reporter searches for her missing brother against the backdrop of violence and human smuggling across the US/Mexican border. The Mule is not a bad film as many stated it was it's problem for me at least was the story and certain characters mostly the villains it's a movie that talks about immigration and although it does have some strong scenes with a pregnant woman dying or even a rape scene the film looses it's focus between the whole plot story about Stone saving Billy Zane who by the way is pretty much forgettable. Would i recommend you to see it? Probably no but if you ever see it on TV or Netflix give it a shot who knows you might actually like it but don't except much the characters and the story are mediocre although the performances were actually decent.

I came into this film not expecting much, and i honestly was blown away by the movie. I'm not claiming that this movie is 100% factual or even close to it but I think the filmmaker did a brilliant job of chronicling the immigration reality.If this movie had been entirely fictional, I would have given it 2 stars. The importance of the story and the care taken in some parts gave it 5.Before I excoriate, here are the good points. It tells a very important story for everyone to know. The reality of the border was depicted realistically, though I am no expert.The end has a fantastic, unexpected twist. It's a clear criticism of the system. I won't spoil it. But it's a must see.This movie earned my attention and i was on the edge of my seat until the end credits. I've watched all the major movies this year and this is, in my opinion, one of the best film of the year.

I really liked this movie. Sharon looks different, but I like that. Good actors change to fit the role. The director had a clear vision and look for it. The smooth camera moves are so cool and the music is chilling and melancholic. I also like all the actors. I look them up and some are famous in their own countries.Many American probably don't want to see this sad reality, because they are very comfortable with their American Way of Life, and they don't want to be bothered. But I think cinema was created to show reality in a different light. This movie is a piece of art. I highly recommended!

It's a shame they didn't use "Border Run" from the start. A much better title, that would also leave you with a little surprise (probably) towards the end of the movie. As it is, this is supposed to be the vehicle for Sharon Stone and a lot of actors have achieved great things with low budget movies. Something I guess she was expecting too. But the theme of the movie was the big seller.Controversial and not easy to chew, this movie tries to show how ridiculous the border situation is. But do we need a 90 minute to show us something we already know? You decide if that is necessary. You also have to judge the late in the game "twist" and if it really was necessary too. Whatever the case, the movie tries hard but kind of fails delivering (no pun intended).
