Where to watch The Mule (2018) tonight

The Mule (2018) runs 1 h 56 min, is rated R in the US and averages 6.9 from 5,533 TMDB members. Earl Stone, a man in his eighties, is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he's just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does so well that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates.
