He's an old assassin, she's a young local dancing hottie, and they mix dance, lust and guns.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

It is a form of condescension that Duvall could only perpetrate while being blinded by true love.

| Original Score: 1 | Dec 27, 2004

O ritmo lento, falta foco narrao e o ato final confuso. Por sorte, este no um filme sobre "tramas", mas sobre personagens - e a que merece elogios.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 29, 2004

It's slow, but it's also sure-footed. Duvall takes it at his own damn pace, and his grouchy old man of a contract killer is a well-rounded and wholly believable personage.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 15, 2004

More a song about living and dying well than a picture that makes much sense in the traditional definition.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 29, 2003

I loved this film for what it didn't try to do.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 20, 2003

This is the type of stand-up-and-take-notice performance that burgeoning actors dream off, yet Pedraza is so effortless in her portrayal that I started to think she almost didn't have to try to be so wondrously beguiling.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 19, 2003

Assassination Tango runs aground with an accumulation of small illogicalities.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 28, 2003

Turgid and self-indulgent...haphazardly constructed and featuring dialogue that sounds poorly improvised--as well as a central character who's less a human being than a collection of cliches.

| Original Score: D | May 28, 2003

Are there 72 year-old hit men?

Full Review | May 27, 2003

...it would be a mistake to dismiss Duvall's career behind the camera as a rich character actor's hobby.

Full Review | Original Score: A | May 26, 2003

If Duvall wanted to celebrate his hobby, he should have made a documentary.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 23, 2003

You get the feeling Duvall took a tango trip to Buenos Aires and haphazardly decided to make a crime movie while staying there.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 22, 2003

It's a curious and unsatisfying lark, in which Robert Duvall the actor is rendered speechless by Robert Duvall the writer and sideswiped by Robert Duvall the director.

Full Review | May 1, 2003

While Duvall's contribution to the tango canon may not add much to its mystique, it still offers considerable pleasures to anyone who shares his interest.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 20, 2003

Not so much a movie as a chance to sidle up alongside Robert Duvall and twirl around a cinematic dance floor with him.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 18, 2003

Its many tiny character details make up for the ludicrous story it's telling.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 18, 2003

A film that uses tango as a metaphor for life ought to generate some fire. But Assassination Tango offers little heat.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 18, 2003

One of the most boring films in recent memory. Almost nothing happens.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 18, 2003
