(1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 50% Rotten Page   1   C- "Francis Ford Coppola suggested to his friend that he combine his love of tango with his love of filmmaking. The story doesn't seem to be thought out much beyond that."   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna "...unlike [Duvall's] last directorial effort, The Apostle, Assassination Tango is a meandering, pointless and ultimately dull character study."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B+ "I loved this film for what it didn't try to do."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz D "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."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A quirky drama written and directed by Robert Duvall in which he plays a hit man enchanted with the dance form that most exquisitely gives expression to his soul."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "For those who do not demand a firm adherence to formulas and genre-driven expectations, this movie offers the chance to see something a little different."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "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."   ToxicUniverse.com   Jeremiah Kipp 4/10 "A film that feels like the writer, director and star was too blinded by his interest in the subject matter to make a good movie about it."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 1 "It is a form of condescension that Duvall could only perpetrate while being blinded by true love."   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 2/5 "Duvall at his worst is still an accomplished performer; Pedraza is a modern-day Ali McGraw, lithe and beautiful but no kind of actress. For all her fluidity on the dance floor, she's a dead weight who drags the film down."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2/5 "What could have been a fascinating exploration of the sensuous culture of Argentine tango (a subject the actor/director displays an affection for) winds up instead being a rather clumsy mobster movie with lots of been-there, done-that touches."   Filmcritic.com   Nick Schager 4/5 "If Duvall's presence in films that are clearly beneath him are necessary in order for him to produce flicks like The Apostle and Assassination Tango, I certainly hope Jerry Bruckheimer never loses his phone number."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 3/4 "More a song about living and dying well than a picture that makes much sense in the traditional definition."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 7/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 6/10 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R.
