I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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.

I liked the ending.The ONLY criticism I would make was not showing more 'cattle' and a Cow-dog - if not a horse or ATV.A friend of mine who's a small cattle rancher up here in Martinez CA, is 75 yrs, and is going through chemotherapy for prostate, (altho' I think it's the type of tuberculosis you evidently can get from cattle which is treated by chemo!) he had to hand over the cattle operation to his ranch hand ( a Mexican who's waiting for his wife from Mexico so he can stay in the cottage on the property ) - while he recoups (hopefully) at his brother's; I recommended it to him, I think he would feel encouraged. … He's very hard working, fixes everything himself; He was a former fisherman in Alaska - and a carpenter after that. Besides being as gruff as the character Duvall played , he's the best person you ever met - kindly but strong - and smart as a whip still. Ididn't like the 'gun' scene - that's why I had to debate about recommending it to him, but I did recommend it to him. (I'm the girl friend he ends up with! - so that was "true to life" - Writers, how did you know!?!

I doubt I've ever seen a Robert Duvall movie that was not worth watching and the same can be said of this one. Duvall plays a cranky old coot not ready to take up the rocking chair and I hope he isn't ready for a long time. A decent premise to the movie and several places that make you smile. If you like crotchety hard-headed old folks this is the movie for you. While in all respects a slow movie I didn't regret a minute. I wish IMDb didn't require ten lines for a review because I doubt I've had ten lines to say about any movie.But it's nice to be able to give one a good review, one that isn't cr*p found footage and one where the acting enabled the suspension of disbelief for a couple hours.
