The Mule

Australia, 1983: Hapless TV repairman Ray (Angus Sampson) is caught coming back from Thailand attempting to smuggle large amounts of illegal drugs in his stomach. With the police allowed to hold him for seven days in order to allow the evidence to "appear," Ray must spend the week locked in a hotel room, guarded by two cops (Hugo Weaving, Ewen Leslie) and desperately trying to avoid a trip to the bathroom. Based on a true story, this quirky Aussie comedy also stars Leigh Whannell, Georgina Haig, John Noble. 103 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
