This was bad. Not a poor man's Blair Witch, more likely a destitute homeless living in a soggy cardboard box man's Blair Witch Part 2. Let's see, poor acting, awful plot, annoying as hell jumping around camera work (yes, I know all Found Footage movies are like this but this one's worse), almost all filming is in the dark si you can't see jack and finally, so much aimless screaming and running around. Did I say this was bad? I lied, it's much worse than bad. Don't watch it. You'll thank me! Oh, lastly, it's far from scary, just very annoying.

Many reviews on here compare The Mule to El Camino (an understandable comparison in some ways), others complain about Clint's politics (which I also disagree with) & some say that it was boring & little happened. I say that I could care less about Clint's politics & if I were looking for an exciting, action packed movie, I would not have chosen to see this movie as it was clearly not going to be thrilling & nonstop action. The Mule is a slow paced entertaining drama about a man who has made choices in his life that put his family second & his regrets as he has aged. The drug cartel aspect of this movie was, to me, more of a sidebar of the real story; a man's search for personal redemption & a second chance. I was moved by The Mule, felt the acting was very good & it is well worth your 2 hours. Well done, Clint!

A Quiet Place hooked me from the beginning & kept me there through the ending. The best word to describe this movie is: tense. The quietness of the whole movie made you focus on what you were watching, the characters were well developed, acting was great, music was perfect, directing & editing concise, script was too the point without any needless filler. The creatures were pretty cool & original. We saw enough of them to see how they functioned but not so much they became silly. Complaints? Sure, too many unanswered questions since we never saw where the creatures came from & how the onslaught first started but...that's ok. Don't ask too many questions & you'll be hooked all the way through. I loved it!
