Mutually exclusive dichotomies are an easy way to create interesting characters...like a millionaire homeless bum or a gay gigolo or hitman who adores his little girl, never lies, and loves the tango. Duvall fleshes out the latter in "Assassination Tango"; a sort of character study of a heartless killer with a sensitive side which is hard to swallow. The unfortunate result is a weak in story with a nice execution making the film as much a mixed bag as its critical reviews suggest. Half good, half bad adds up only to average. Recommended for Duvall fans and film junkies who've seen all the really good stuff already. (B-)
