Robert Duvall is a top of the line actor and close to being a favorite if I had one. He seems to enjoy character parts and was really good in the Hemingway movie.This movie I didn't really want to watch figuring it was predictable -good old boy goes to Mexico and raises hell. It was that and then some. Many years ago while in El Paso I use to cross over into Zaragosa by myself to roam the dark haunts always feeling it was best to keep a low profile,this movie goes against my personal beliefs. The voice of Duvall's character in this movie can also be heard in the movie Geronimo.In that movie his character was from Arizona and I couldn't help to remember him while watching a night in old Mexico. His character in the Geronimo movie had a famous line...A Texan is about the lowest form of white man there is . Seems unusual he ended up playing one.

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. 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. I will purchase it on DVD as soon as it is available and look forward to watching it time and time again. Instant classic.

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.

I am truly a huge admirer of Sir Robert Duvall, but his time is done, he cant even walk properly, a huge round belly has popped out, dialogue delivery is poor, while watching the movie i thought he might just go to sleep in between shots ....Now about the movie, poor storyline, poor editing done, nothing much to say, if you are bored and have nothing to do then watch this movie.But, Robert Duvall should now hang his boots from acting, he is unfit for any such roles.The actor who has played his grandson, should learn acting, he was an absolute dumb in the movie, All in all i think this is a cheaply done movie, trying to cash in the name of robert duvall, but duvall has failed, instead they should have chosen an actor like Clint Eastwood, Jon Voight or even Gene Hackman ... A fine word of advise to Robert Duvall, retire with respect !!
