A Night in Old Mexico

What to Know

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.

Leonard Maltin leonardmaltin.com 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. Jun 2, 2014 Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com 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 May 16, 2014 Full Review Daniel M. Gold New York Times 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 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com While Duvall will always be a welcome screen presence, this isn't a vehicle worthy of his time or ours. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 30, 2019 Full Review Mark R. Leeper Mark Leeper's Reviews the story is driven forward by far too many coincidences Rated: 6/10 Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Rob Hunter Film School Rejects 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.

Renee R 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Don W Shallow script and a lazy self-indulgent performance by Duvall. He reminded of his portrayal as "Sonny" in "The Apostle". Boring and predictable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/05/24 Full Review Laurie S 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Nicolas M 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/01/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Never really gives the knockout punch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/18 Full Review Read all reviews
