CommentsXp Best movie ever!

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

indiedavid Robert Duvall is my favorite actor of all time but not even he could save this miserable script, poor directing and amateur cinematography. Other than Duvall, the other actors are worse than you would see in any high school play. The script is probably the worst I have ever seen produced. There are at least 30 scenes that were imitations from other, real films. Of course, they were very poorly executed. There were plot holes at every turn and others that just didn't make sense. I didn't bother to research but I cannot fathom how this train wreck got produced. I felt sorry for Duvall throughout the whole film. His performance was definitely not Oscar worthy and my mind drifted off, wondering if he has financial problems that would have led him to participate in this amateur endeavor. I have honestly seen much better productions from film schools.

dan_c99 Once again, Robert Duvall delivers like few others can. The cast, story line and everything about the movie was grand. His co stars, while I was unfamiliar with them prior to this, were so outstanding. Movie drew me in right from the start and held me fully. Only disappointment I had with the movie was that it had to end. No matter what role Mr. Duvall plays, he is so very convincing and makes you feel like he is someone you know personally. very different from the lawyer in the Godfather. The scenery was outstanding as well with such a great soundtrack. Its sad that ranchers and farmers alike face the devastation of losing the homes and land that they have worked so hard on due to the way things are these days. Instant classic.

The Couchpotatoes You can say whatever you want about Robert Duvall but he always delivers in a movie. I don't think I ever saw him playing bad. And in A Night In Old Mexico he again puts down a very good performance playing the grandfather of Gally (played by Jeremy Irvine). Jeremy Irvine and Angie Cepeda are good in their roles as well but still it is Duvall that makes this movie worth watching. The story is well written, it's like watching everything a little bit in slow motion but there is enough action and good dialogs to keep you entertained. You feel for the old man that doesn't want to end his life in a tin can. I certainly did enjoy this movie, like any other with Duvall in it.

ibgp3 I've known people like the good guys in this movie (including the Duvall character) This was about my friends out acting crazy...and they do. I understand that it was not believable to strangers; but if you let Duvall show you someone you never met, he does it well.Irvine is criticized for not holding his own with Duvall. Get real!! A New York raised college-boy and the Duvall character would take a long time getting acquainted. The day and night in the movie might be enough. What would not be believable would be if the grandson started out on an even footing.I usually judge a movie by what stayed with me to the next day. Sometimes the next morning I have to try to remember what the movie was. "A Night in Old Mexico" was not forgotten. Every character is sharp and clear and real. All of the locations are real to me. If you have met someone like Red, (Duvall's character), and spent a night or two being wild and crazy in a Mexican border town; then it is easy to watch. The cast and crew all met someone like Red, (Duvall), and they were all in a border town. Maybe the fault in the movie is that it doesn't bring outsiders in. If you haven't been there and met him you don't see the reality. Too bad for you.
