Both dancing it and watching it, but this movie didn't show enough to be considered good by that standard. It was a self-indulgent homage to his new main squeeze. I felt like I was intruding on their “cute” scene together. I expected better. More dancing scenes would have made the rest of this stuff more palatable

it's really horrible. Very slow, I had to fast forward through most of it. What a wasted afternoon, should've watched Shrek instead!

Total waste of time, bad acting, bad story line, and even bad directing for Duvall.

Duvall may be considered a good actor but I think he's floating around in never-never-land on this one.

Some lovely scenes of Buenos Aires and a touching May/December romance make this film worth watching. The crime caper is a bit thin, and Duvall directing Duvall results in a few riffs where he is a bit too full of himself -- material that might otherwise have been left on the cutting room floor. Duvall really clicks with his love interest (Luciana Pedraza -- who in real life is his wife). She is a dream.

I don't understand all the negative remarks preceding mine. This is a very well done movie with surprisingly good performances. The dialogue is so real it's as if you're listening to conversation, not acting or written rehearshed words. Duvall is excellent and the supporting cast is above average. Yes, it's slow is parts. Do you need racing cars and shooting and bombs to be entertained? The dancing is graceful, interesting, sexy & beautiful. My wife & I thought the film was way better than we expected. I can promise that it's better than previous reviewers here state. This is not a waste of time.

There is one word in the title of this movie that really says it all........................and I wish I had done that after the first 10 mins of the movie............by assassinating it!!! Unless you want to learn how to do the tango, then by all means rent it. Shame on you Robert Duvall.........you definitely did this for your real life tango dancing girlfriend, I don't know what else could have possessed you..........................ugh!!!

Duvall talks to himself in order to explain things. Even that explains nothing.
