NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Floyd Shoemaker Let me start off by saying I love Robert Duvall, but this is not one of his better efforts (no fault of his, lousy writing and lousy co-stars). It's his typical "tough old guy" routine on steroids.The movie starts slow and gets slower. From there it becomes boring and increasingly predictable.I found myself fast forwarding to get to a point where there was something going on.....and then suddenly I was at the end, thank God.Skip this one, and keep your love and appreciation of Mr Duvall intact!

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.

Turtle Heart I am a big fan of Robert Duvall. I was so excited to see this film. It is about an old timer (Duval) in rebellion against his pending poverty, separation from his long time home into a trailer park, suddenly going off to "Old Mexico" on a lark for what, it never seems clear. Just as he makes this break out his grandson, whom he had never before met up with, shows up and goes off with him. So the stage is set for a great road adventure with a great actor. Not. This film creeps along, following an old timer who has lots of boring memories, a long life without any details as to what he was, or what he might have accomplished. The plot is really thin, almost invisible. It is by far a turkey film. Duvall is just terrible in this film. The writing is terrible, the supporting actors make no sense to the story. The basic idea of the story is thin to begin with. The film was really disappointing and it was terribly sad to see such a great actor lend himself to such a bad film and deliver such a forgettable performance. This film just made my list of really bad films made by great actors. The writing is very poor, the plot exceedingly thin, the supporting cast forgettable, the director seems to have tweeted in his desires, as there is no craftsmanship in this film anywhere. the only good character in the film is a vintage old red Cadillac, apparently owned forever by the Duvall character. Disappoint and a little bit infuriating, given the expectations we all have for a Duvall film. A truly sad end to a great career, if this turns out to be his last film. Five minutes after the film ends you will not remember what this film was even about.

majorlagg1 I love Robert Duvall. A lot. Unfortunately, this movie had a predictable plot, bad writing and bad acting (even Duvall). It reminded me of an 80s buddy cop film only not as good. Duvall overdid his cantankerous old man role. The Jeremy Irvine was predictable and the Mexican lady was bland. The story kept switching villains as one got shot by another. I'm not sure why. It seemed to serve no real purpose. It was hard to cheer for Duvall when he was chasing after "his" money when it wasn't his money. I hope Duvall makes another good movie because I don't want this one to be his last. Again, I do love Duvall. Guess, I'll go watch No Country for Old Men.
