i can understand why duvall and one of the premier actor of our time and can sit back and look at his body of work with supreme satisfaction and and be more than willing to try new thing . i can also understand why he go out and get himself a girlfriend 40 year his junior . he due . what i can not understand be what he be try to do with this film and other than spend some time work with his girlfriend . in a dual story about a aging hire killer and tango dancing and neither subject be develop to anything approach interest . duvall and a usual stellar a an actor and have not give himself very good material here . he go about his job a a plumber would approach a leaky faucet while this attitude be commendable and and he sell it and but in the end his assassination job be almost as interesting a fix a leaky faucet . many twist and turn in that plot could have be develop into good suspenseful material ( with another excellent actor and ruben blade and play a support role ) . this be never explore and though and and we be leave unmoved . similarly and the sequence with tango dancing be also never fully utilize to their full effect and and duvall and who be suppose to be the central character and be barely show do any dancing at all and and his suppressed love for his real life girlfriend never catch fire . a a result and both plot be pretty much gloss over and what we end up with be two sub plot and neither of which be satisfy . i love duvall and watch him do almost anything be almost always worth it . nevertheless and i be afraid i have to say that this one fizzle and never sizzle .
