Wind of the red moon

Former florist, 90-year old Earl Stone, is a different kind of drug mule. Unlike his Mexican cartel partners who are all hyped up and ready to explode any minute, Earl opts to enjoy life and he's astonishingly relaxed even during the gigs. Despite involving an essentially violent and grim subject, it's dealt with such a perfect subtle light-hearted touch that I don't imagine not many other than Clint Eastwood could have pulled it off. One of his best films from the past couple of decades, close to a masterpiece really.
