Encore un super film du grand Clint Eastwood, original (et basé sur une histoire vraie), subtil, où le bien et le mal ne sont pas forcément là où on les attend. J'ai beaucoup aimé !
Synopsis
Earl Stone, a man in his eighties, is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he's just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does so well that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates.
