... has some effective comedic moments, yet is less compelling as an examination of aging or fractured family dynamics.May 16, 2014
The well-nuanced performance of Robert Duvall, among the greatest actors of our time, compensates for the contrived and oversimplified screenplay.May 15, 2014
The director Emilio Aragón wisely trains the camera on Mr. Duvall. "A Night in Old Mexico" is his baby, and he rocks it.May 13, 2014
A scruffy tale built around a hilariously, quotably gruf performance by the great Robert Duvall.May 15, 2014
This poky, clichéd, slackly told picture, directed by Emilio Aragón, would've felt dated a few decades ago; now it feels like a downright relic.May 16, 2014
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.May 15, 2014
Not a second of this feels real, but at least we see Duvall croon "Mexicali Rose."May 15, 2014
The movie doesn't have the same kind of emotional depth that Duvall and Wittliff managed to pull off decades ago. Worse, the dialogue often sounds stilted.June 02, 2014
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.May 12, 2014
Red is the kind of lazily written, thankless curmudgeon role that uses the trials of advanced age for cheap laughs rather than harnessing a veteran actor's talent to engage our empathy.May 16, 2014
It's hard not to wonder if Duvall got passed over for a role in Last Vegas and, not to be outdone by that snake Kevin Kline, decided to make the Western version instead.May 15, 2014
A Night In Old Mexico would be stronger if it acknowledged a bit more how tall a tale it's telling. But it's good to see Duvall demonstrate so forcibly that he has no intention of going gently into that good night.
