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

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 30, 2019

the story is driven forward by far too many coincidences

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 6, 2018

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.

| Jul 19, 2018

... has some effective comedic moments, yet is less compelling as an examination of aging or fractured family dynamics.

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.

The well-nuanced performance of Robert Duvall, among the greatest actors of our time, compensates for the contrived and oversimplified screenplay.

| Original Score: 7.0/10 | May 16, 2014

It's hard not to wonder if Duvall got passed over for a role in Last Vegas and, not to be outdone by that snake Kevin Kline, decided to make the Western version instead.

| May 16, 2014

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.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 16, 2014

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

| May 15, 2014

The movie doesn't have the same kind of emotional depth that Duvall and Wittliff managed to pull off decades ago. Worse, the dialogue often sounds stilted.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 15, 2014

This poky, clichd, slackly told picture, directed by Emilio Aragn, would've felt dated a few decades ago; now it feels like a downright relic.

| May 15, 2014

A Night In Old Mexico would be stronger if it acknowledged a bit more how tall a tale it's telling. But it's good to see Duvall demonstrate so forcibly that he has no intention of going gently into that good night.

| Original Score: 3.0/5 | May 15, 2014

Not a second of this feels real, but at least we see Duvall croon "Mexicali Rose."

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 15, 2014

Though A Night In Old Mexico won't be Duvall's last screen performance, it's as fitting a farewell as he's likely to get.

| Original Score: C+ | May 15, 2014

Formulaic and often hard to swallow, the picture offers little beyond the familiar pleasures of Duvall's old-coot mode.

| May 14, 2014

Unfortunately, there's a clichd bag-of-money plot surrounding Red's hell-with-old-age night out, which would have made a more unique movie on its own.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 14, 2014

Red is the kind of lazily written, thankless curmudgeon role that uses the trials of advanced age for cheap laughs rather than harnessing a veteran actor's talent to engage our empathy.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 12, 2014

Robert Duvall's excellent performance as a cantankerous rancher makes A Night In Old Mexico a night to remember.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 12, 2014

A Tex-Mex-flavored shaggy-dog story that finds Duvall perfectly cast as a robustly cantankerous South Texas rancher determined to have one last fling south of the border.
