MULE

Today's film was

Maria Full of Grace (2004)

Spoiler.

A young Colombian woman with some attitude decides to quit her sweat shop job and become a drug carrier to the United States.

It is a harrowing journey through the thicket of illegal entry, druggies and all the rest.

But with a combination of pluck and luck—grace—she gets through it and grows into a new life in a new country.

The film is episodic. Realistic. Nothing is amped up. The tension comes from the almost documentary feel of the thing.

I will give it a 4 out of Netflix5.
