(rated R, 110 mins) As he did with “The Apostle” Robert Duvall multi-tasks as director, writer, producer and star in the story of a loving step-dad and husband to wife (Kathy Baker) by day; seasoned hit man by night. Sent to Argentina by his boss (Frank Gio) who hides behind his Brooklyn dance hall where they practice tango, Duvall gets sent on a mission with a lot of spare time. So when there’s nothing else to do, he dances. This is a good strategy to match his character’s turn-on-a-dime personality but the two storylines never merge as expected. While the tale is full of adventure — loving daddy, beauty shop owner, lover, hit man, he may have gone too far infusing his obvious real life love of tango. He’s a multi-faceted character but the components of the story line don’t quite click.
