In A Night in Old Mexico, 83-year-old Robert Duvall plays a bitter 83-year-old Texas curmudgeon who has lost his ranch and enlists his new found grandson on a geezer roadtrip adventure to a Mexican bordertown. Duvall is one of our greatest actors, and, after his profound performances in The Apostle and Tender Mercies, it’s fun to let him seek debauchery and tear up cantinas. That being said, there’s really nothing remarkable or original in A Night in Old Mexico – it’s a trifle. Columbian actress Angie Cepeda is especially appealing as the hard luck gal who takes up with the guys.
A Night in Old Mexico is available on DVD from Netflix and streaming from Amazon, iTunes, Vudu and Xbox Video.
