Odd little movie shot in Argentina about an American hit man sent to take our a general, only to find himself with time on his hands before he can take out the general and return home. To kill time, he takes up the tango, and the movie is as much about this unusual development as the impending assassination. Robert Duvall directed and starred in it, and it is worth watching for him and him alone. Ruben Blades costars. The dancing is great, but it's not enough to sustain a whole movie. This would appear to be a pet project of Duvall's. I hesitate to call it a vanity production like most Tom Cruise movies. The title is very literal with regardt the plot.
