Mule by Clint Eastwood. Well, that was a shock how old Clint is. I mean he was old before but still ripped and lean, but now, in his 90s, you feel sorry for him as he has to hold to walls and other sturdy things when he walks.
The movie starts seriously with Clint facing foreclosure and in desperate need of money which makes the US a very harsh place when it can not take care of its high-level seniors. Filmmakers are aware of this problem which they try to explain by showing us that Clint is in a bad relationship with his family which is a hard pill to swallow that kids would be angry at their 90-year-old father to the point of letting him pretty much starving to death, but hey, we do it for Clint's sake. When someone is 90 years old he is automatically a patient and you can't be crossed with him unless he's literally a nazi, which Clint is not. He is a very charming guy and that is where the film falls apart as it becomes goofy: Clint not only is such a swell guy who helps people and dances with women every day, but he has threesomes with girls who could be granddaughters of his granddaughters.
So I stopped watching when he gets invited to the villa of the Mexican cartel boss to dance and party with escort girls. Not because it is goofy but because Clint is telling me to enjoy life and find some hooker to party with instead of wasting my life watching this crappy movie.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
