Leave your thoughts about A Night in Old Mexico.
| AV ClubDavid EhrlichHere’s a film that knowingly and transparently exists for little reason other than to let the 83-year-old actor bow out in a blaze of glory. And though A Night In Old Mexico won’t be Duvall’s last screen performance, it’s as fitting a farewell as he’s likely to get. |
| We Got This CoveredAlexander LoweRobert Duvall's excellent performance as a cantankerous rancher makes A Night In Old Mexico a night to remember. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreRobert Duvall may be 83, but he’s still up to playing a real Texas hell raiser on the screen. He can hold his own with bad hombres. |
| Film School RejectsRob HunterRed's personal journey remains a fun ride, a feat due as much to Duvall as to the script, but Gally's own coming of age portion of the tale falls flat. |
| CinemalogueTodd Jorgenson... has some effective comedic moments, yet is less compelling as an examination of aging or fractured family dynamics. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. Leeperthe story is driven forward by far too many coincidences |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThis poky, clichéd, slackly told picture, directed by Emilio Aragón, would've felt dated a few decades ago; now it feels like a downright relic. |
| New York TimesDaniel M. GoldThe director Emilio Aragón wisely trains the camera on Mr. Duvall. A Night in Old Mexico is his baby, and he rocks it. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeFormulaic and often hard to swallow, the picture offers little beyond the familiar pleasures of Duvall's old-coot mode. |
| L.A. WeeklyMichael NordineIt's hard not to wonder if Duvall got passed over for a role in Last Vegas and, not to be outdone by that snake Kevin Kline, decided to make the Western version instead. |
