Movie Reviews of Assassination Tango
Movie Review: Self indulgent ego trip
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this upon the recommendation of a friend who is just learning tango and based upon a general Amazon rating of 3 stars--I wish that I had bothered to look at the detailed breakdown of reviews. This is one of the poorest excuses for a movie that I have ever seen. The acting, including Duvall, is amateurish; the directing is non-existent (the use of the term improvisational is generous); and the dancing is poor. My wife and I stuck with it for about 20 minutes waiting for it to get better, thinking that it could not possibly be that bad--but it was. Duvall's impression of an assassin is ludicrous--he blows hot and cold from an unjustified anger at something in life--having grown old? to a patronizing quasi-stepfather...step grandfather?? I would not even give this to someone that I know--that might mistakenly think that I somehow liked it. I have to stop writing now...Movie Review: A Disapointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been dancing the tango for about 10 years, so when I heard about this movie I was anxious to see it. However, it appeared locally for only about two weeks, and after seeing the DVD I know why. It was a big disappointment. The plot very thin, and the dancing--with one exception--was a letdown.I think many people would watch this movie just to see the dancing. But there was so little of it, and what was shown was not even that good. The best dance demonstration was at the end of the film, perhaps as a consolation. If you'd like to see an excellent tango movie, check out "Tango". It was made in Buenos Aires about ten years ago, and might be available at your local library. You won't be disappointed with this one.
Movie Review: Not Much Tango
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this DVD because of the tango. I tired to see the film at a theatre but it wasn't around for long. The movie is not exciting. People say Duvall did this movie to showcase his wife, tango dancer Luciana Pedraza. She is NOT an actress. Her acting is poor. The routines are very short and too few. Duvall sort of stands still while she dances around him. Scenes of Duvall in bed with a prostitute made me gag. I wanted more tango. I can see why this film died at the box office.Movie Review: Virtuallu Unwatchable
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie is so bad that I had to struggle to make it through the 20 minutes that I DID watch. Duvall has obviously gone with the "unscripted dialogue" approach in an attempt to make the characters sound "real". Ironically, it makes the dialogue so jilted and forced that you can TELL exactly what is going on - and the characters sound even MORE false! A big disappointment for Duvall fans.Movie Review: Boring!
Summary: 1 Stars
To start with, Robert Duvall is absolutely ridiculous as a assasin. He is clumsy, incompetent, badly spoken and certainly not some suave type that filmakers wanted to portray. The idea that a young attractive woman is interested in him is laughable. You'd think movie about an assasins and contract killing would be a little more intertaining but no such luck. This will put you to sleep in no time.
