It's a curious and unsatisfying lark, in which Robert Duvall the actor is rendered speechless by Robert Duvall the writer and sideswiped by Robert Duvall the director.
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten
A film that uses tango as a metaphor for life ought to generate some fire. But Assassination Tango offers little heat.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
Rotten
What we care about in Assassination Tango is the tango, not the assassination.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
While the assassination plot is interesting, the rest of Tango is dramatically flaccid.
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
