This was a really great movie - a unique story told mostly in the bed of a hotel room . There is no sex but some violence. Our mule does not speak much but that the point. Mules are not very smart -they are good and carrying though. The cops are cast well and the Australian production is very enjoyable. I would caution anyone watching this film to not eat any food during the film. The mule's mum and dad play there parts so well and the mob boss who is wound up with aggression -its just a matter of time before someone gets waked. I think the Mule's boss is badly stereotyped as the Jewish TV repair owner,but he is so funny and callous when he wont allow the Mule to take his 30 minute lunch - The Mule quits and owner says Come back - take 35 minutes for lunch. This movie is full of wit and humor while it deals with a very deadly subject.

**SPOILER ALERT** The Mule is not funny, it's not entertaining, it's neither engaging, nor well-written and as an audience member I was not interested in what happened to the main character. In fact about half-way through I was hoping it actually is possible for someone to die from not being able to pass stools. I'm not being gross here, that is what the movie is about, a drug Mule, trying not to pass stools, so that he won't get caught by the Australian Federal Police.The acting by the main character, Angus Sampson, is below par. And not even the extraordinary Hugo Weaving could lift this appalling script and it's scant premise from the gutter that it wallowed in.I know it's attempting to be a black comedy, but it lacked both the finesse and comedic characters or dialog to ever be either.With so many incredible stories coming out of Australia this film is an embarrassment to see out there in the world.Like the premise of this film the viewing experience of watching The Mule is like being made to swallow a steaming pile of excrement, again and again and again. Do yourself a favor, watch ANYTHING else instead.

8.8 of 10. Taking the elements of gross-out humor and applying it to a crime drama/thriller provides something new, insightful, scary, and amusing, but does require a strong stomach.The grossing-out starts quickly, so there's very little time to prep yourself. Just when you think the gross stuff is easing up, something more subtly gross from real life gets introduced. As a result, the film is continually immersive while still providing no shortage of strange situations.The characters and actors also do an exceptional job of providing the yucks. There's only 1 attractive main character with the rest being disgusting in either or both form and action. It all builds up to smart and surprising ending that should also impress crime mystery lovers.

Brilliantly made film, best independent indie film of 2014. The film was great from start to finish, very engaging and highly enjoyable for all. The lines were not only sarcastic and serious but also extremely comical at points. The directing was done perfectly and showed the audience the lovable character that is a typical mummy's boy as we followed him on his drug-induced journey that was highly enjoyable.The acting was phenomenal and literally has you mouth opened at several point sin the film because it is just that shocking. A beautifully produced film and highly enjoyable for anyone to watch. Would definitely recommend this to anyone. 10/10.
