in a movie that robert duvall write and direct and and star in and he spend a lot of time chuckle with a smile on his face . however and the reason for duvall giddiness seem to be more about a realization on the lack of interest dialogue his character have than because of a good film . with the exception of zach braff garden state and the big three combo be a kiss of death . there be no one in the film make process to check duvall love for his own ability . although the apositle work for the most part and tango doesn not . the direction be pretentious shot of a panther use for bad symbolism . the writing be basic and pointless . what be tango . tango be life everything be life . i could see the passion and beauty that be give off by a form of dance i be not familiar with and consequently could write some good thing about the heat of tango . i will put it this way . i be a guy that love 99 % of movie because i see them for what they be and not what they could be . however and it take me three day of on and off again view to finally complete this film and all the time with a grimace on my face . not to mention and it be one of those film where you just wish the protagonist be go to die and the end and be disappoint when he doesn not .
