A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Robert Duvall is my favorite actor of all time but not even he could save this miserable script, poor directing and amateur cinematography. Other than Duvall, the other actors are worse than you would see in any high school play. The script is probably the worst I have ever seen produced. There are at least 30 scenes that were imitations from other, real films. Of course, they were very poorly executed. There were plot holes at every turn and others that just didn't make sense. I didn't bother to research but I cannot fathom how this train wreck got produced. I felt sorry for Duvall throughout the whole film. His performance was definitely not Oscar worthy and my mind drifted off, wondering if he has financial problems that would have led him to participate in this amateur endeavor. I have honestly seen much better productions from film schools.

You can say whatever you want about Robert Duvall but he always delivers in a movie. I don't think I ever saw him playing bad. And in A Night In Old Mexico he again puts down a very good performance playing the grandfather of Gally (played by Jeremy Irvine). Jeremy Irvine and Angie Cepeda are good in their roles as well but still it is Duvall that makes this movie worth watching. The story is well written, it's like watching everything a little bit in slow motion but there is enough action and good dialogs to keep you entertained. You feel for the old man that doesn't want to end his life in a tin can. I certainly did enjoy this movie, like any other with Duvall in it.

If you like Robert Duvall's mature movie roles, you'll probably enjoy this kinda funny, kinda violent, definitely profane little comedy drama.The supporting actors were just OK in my opinion, but it may have just been the contrast with Duvall that made their parts pale. I did like the casting of the female lead because of her classical full body look instead of the skinny, hyper-pretty crap that's all too common these days. In a nutshell, the flick is heartwarming in a violent and gritty kind of way. I suppose it's a spoiler to say it ends happily, albeit in a totally unexpected way. On the other hand, I can't help thinking I would have enjoyed it more knowing the old fart comes thru smelling like a rose. Being an old fart myself, the ending was truly like a dream come true.

I am a big fan of Robert Duvall. I was so excited to see this film. It is about an old timer (Duval) in rebellion against his pending poverty, separation from his long time home into a trailer park, suddenly going off to "Old Mexico" on a lark for what, it never seems clear. Just as he makes this break out his grandson, whom he had never before met up with, shows up and goes off with him. So the stage is set for a great road adventure with a great actor. Not. This film creeps along, following an old timer who has lots of boring memories, a long life without any details as to what he was, or what he might have accomplished. The plot is really thin, almost invisible. It is by far a turkey film. Duvall is just terrible in this film. The writing is terrible, the supporting actors make no sense to the story. The basic idea of the story is thin to begin with. The film was really disappointing and it was terribly sad to see such a great actor lend himself to such a bad film and deliver such a forgettable performance. This film just made my list of really bad films made by great actors. The writing is very poor, the plot exceedingly thin, the supporting cast forgettable, the director seems to have tweeted in his desires, as there is no craftsmanship in this film anywhere. the only good character in the film is a vintage old red Cadillac, apparently owned forever by the Duvall character. Disappoint and a little bit infuriating, given the expectations we all have for a Duvall film. A truly sad end to a great career, if this turns out to be his last film. Five minutes after the film ends you will not remember what this film was even about.
