For those who find humour in bodily functions, Australian crime comedy The Mule is a lot of fun, laced with killings and beatings and featuring strong performances.
Inspired by true events, THE MULE tells the story of a naïve man who is detained by federal police with lethal narcotics hidden in his stomach.
The gambit of launching Tony Mahony and Angus Sampson's dark comedy The Mule simultaneously on digital platforms in Australia, New Zealand, the US and Canada last Friday, bypassing cinemas, seems to be paying off.
After platforming at four cinemas in New York and Los Angeles John Curran's Tracks expanded to 28 screens in the US last weekend.
Hugo Weaving and Angus Sampson are confirmed to attend Q&A preview screenings of The Mule in Sydney and Melbourne ahead of the film's November 21 digital released.
