MOVIE REVIEWS BY CRITICS

“..the story fails to grab us, and while the assassination plot is interesting, the rest of Tango is dramatically flaccid..”
by Eric Harrison [Houston Chronicle]
“..The focus is on the "Tango" portion of the title, not the "Assassination"..”
by James Berardinelli [ReelViews]
“..it almost feels like a documentary..”
by Andrea Chase [Killer Movie Reviews]
