PARTING SHOT

The iconic actor Clint Eastwood stars in this film about an elderly drug mule that transports cocaine for a Mexican cartel.

This is the latest film for Eastwood, who’s 88-year-old. After having his name attached to such greats as Dirty Harry (famous for the “Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?” line) and the Fistful of Dollars trilogy, as well as his career as a director for the Changeling, you’d wonder how much longer we’ll get to see this acting legend on screen.

Enjoy his talents while you can.
