steve d Just becuse your movie is odd does not mean it is good. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Following the brilliant performance/phenomenal writing/surehanded direction of Robert Duvall in "The Apostle," he assumes the role of writer and director of his own star vehicle once again. Unfortunately, this film doesn't come close to the greatness of "The Apostle." Not to say I'm directly comparing the two films, as they're polar opposites in terms of plot: "The Apostle" is the story of a man determined to do God's work no matter what, "Tango" is about a hitman who loves the tango. The only thing in common is that both men in both movies have an obsession. Unfortunately, Duvall's writing and directing in THIS film is haphazard: the cast consistently looks like they're struggling to find something to say. It looks awkward. Overall, not the best followup to a masterpiece. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Robert Duvall directs & stars in this beautifully shot film about a contract killer who's passion is to dance Tango.While on a job in Buenos Aires he meets a lovely Tango teacher and starts to fall in love with her while his job is being delayed... This film is obviously directed by an old man who lies to take his time and let the camera roll for our greatest pleasure. The dancing cessions are well choreographed and this film is charming. Nothing big but an honest entertainment done with taste and passion. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Frances H Very boring and it didn't have much of a plot. The only interesting part was watching the tango dancers. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/09/13 Full Review Audience Member Robert Duvall, gives himself the free-rein to explore idiosyncrasies a successful and respected aging contract killer deserves. In the same spirit, the interwoven habits of the aging and respected director, actor, and character in the movie are explored with persuasive honesty to provide a rare authenticity. The "tango is life" metaphor ripples through the film as the movement in tango and those of his preparation to conduct a hit resonate with each other. Dissonances are tolerated ("welcome to Argentina") as he applies himself to learning tango. Seemingly mutually exclusive threads in his personality are partly reconciled as the complex, mutually aware nature of partners in tango become more fully understood. In the end it is beautiful in a gritty way Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting and erotic film! Robert Duvall is agreat actor and a good direcor. He managed to combine crime thriller with elements of musical film. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
