Reviews
|
Variety -
In the end, The Mule is essentially a straightforward, somewhat overextended crime story enlivened by its uniquely grotesque circumstances (based on a true story, as noted at the beginning), and directed by Mahony in a lean, no-frills style that’s entirely convincing where it counts.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service -
A bloody, violent and yet grimly comic tale.
|
|
Village Voice -
The Mule proves a tough sit, but by the end you might be satisfied you gritted through it.
|
|
The Dissolve -
The film’s biggest drawback is its essentially passive nature, which prevents it from ever building to a crescendo.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
While the film suffers from its own occasional sluggishness, it picks up as the lawmen watching our hero grow as strained as he is.
