From acclaimed actor, writer, and director Robert Duvall comes Assassination Tango, a complex thriller, fascinating character study, and provocative look at the intoxicating world of Argentine tango. As in all of Duvall's films (including the award-winning The Apostle), Assassination Tango offers both an in-depth portrait of a complicated man and a truthful, incisive exploration of a world outside the mainstream.



John J. (Robert Duvall) is deeply devoted to his girlfriend, Maggie (Kathy Baker), and to her young daughter, Jenny (Katherine Micheaux Miller). He is also passionate about dancing, a talent he hones at local Brooklyn dance halls. But his skill on the dance floor seems incongruous with his profession - John is a hit man, and a very good one.
