Critics Consensus

A Night in Old Mexico gives Robert Duvall a too-rare starring showcase -- then frustratingly wastes it on a contrived story that's often unworthy of his talents.

It's fairly plain that "A Night in Old Mexico" is a vehicle for Duvall, and as such it's thoroughly enjoyable; watching him is a genuine treat.

Duvall can justify it all, he's just that kind of actor, but "A Night in Old Mexico" hasn't worked hard enough to give him a story worthy of his talents. In many cases, he is acting all alone up there.

Rated: 1/4

The director Emilio Aragn wisely trains the camera on Mr. Duvall. "A Night in Old Mexico" is his baby, and he rocks it.

While Duvall will always be a welcome screen presence, this isn't a vehicle worthy of his time or ours.

Rated: 1.5/5

Red's personal journey remains a fun ride, a feat due as much to Duvall as to the script, but Gally's own coming of age portion of the tale falls flat.

I’m a huge fan of Robert Duvall, however, I had never seen this movie. He was perfectly cast as Red. I really enjoyed the story, the acting and the ending. A must see if you love Robert Duvall movies

Shallow script and a lazy self-indulgent performance by Duvall. He reminded of his portrayal as "Sonny" in "The Apostle". Boring and predictable.

Despite being 82 when he made this, Duvall still delivered a solid performance. I'm not sure the choice of actor playing the lad was right. I enjoyed it.

This is a comically bad movie. The script and direction are dismal and only Duvall does anything like acting. In fairness to the rest of the cast, it's impossible to imagine that they could do anything meaningful with this rubbish.

DuVall is like a man trying to sow his last wild oat in mexico when his land is being sold off in the states. Takes his grandson with him for a women and booze - when they discover there's 100k in their backseat. A waste of DuValls skills on a predictable plot.
