Alicia I love this movie so much

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

RNMorton Duvall heads south to Argentina to knock off a General. Apparently he favors enjoying the local culture, as he soon becomes enmeshed with a generational tango crowd including the enchanting Predraza. For some reason I'm enthralled with movies about undercover hit men, this one pretty much fits the bill, and it's always interesting when Duvall's on the screen. Enjoy.

classicsoncall It's a great title, conjuring up the idea of an assassin and his target in an intricate dance of death with each trying to outwit the other. Not so oddly, none of this occurs in the movie, and the intended assassination has nothing at all to do with the tango. It could be that as a writer and director, Robert Duvall is a much better actor. In fact, I consider him my favorite modern day actor on the strength of such films as "Open Range" and "The Judge", not to mention the 'Godfather' films he appeared in. But here he just seems out of his league in a picture that meanders around in search of a compelling story line. In particular, the circumstances surrounding the Argentinian collaborators, Orlando (Julio Mechoso) and Miguel (Ruben Blades) was handled very weakly. Their apprehension by authorities was explained after the fact by a bug in John J's (Duvall) room, but it just seemed a very lazy rationale with a noticeable lack of intrigue. Regarding the 'tango' part of the story, I thought the dancers, Luciana Pedraza as Manuela, and Geraldine Rojas as Pirucha, were exceptional in their roles, but would have better served the story if their characters weren't so passive. Maybe this could all be fixed with a re-write in which Robert Duvall plays the part of The Tango Assassin.

ewelarry-262-482290 I loved the movie. You could tell there was a special relationship between Duvall and Luciana and, when I looked up information about her, saw that they are married to each other! Duvall is one of my favorite actors. I loved The Apostle and so many of his mannerisms are apparent in both of these films. I was also not surprised to see that he wrote the Assassin's Tango, as well as directed it.Most of Duvall's later films are about real people and real-life situations and that is what makes them so interesting. Tender Mercies was the same genre of film. Even his swagger is the same in all of these movies.Thank you for the many years of entertainment.

pik923 I have a huge respect for Robert Duvall. We've had the luck of watching his career - from The God Father to The Great Zantini, to The Apostle. Here is is the star, film script author and director and it is obviously a work of great love. You can feel how much he appreciates the art of tango, not just tango but going to the root of tango, going to Argentina for the 'real thing' how wonderful. The film has a gentleness, even though it is a thriller, it has a rhythm, a sensuality because it centers around the beautiful movement of the tango. The dancing is gorgeous - and reminds me in part of TANGO by Carlos Saura and of course Sally Potter's THE TANGO LESSON. This film belongs to that category of art films based on the tango.Congratulations to Robert Duvall and to Executive Producer, Francis Ford Coppola for bringing this film to the screen. Enjoy
