...Assassination Tango, a dance-tinged character study armed with a title that explains its plot with TV Guide-caliber brevity (Duvall’s an assassin, and he tangos!). Duvall’s aging hitman, his hair yanked back in a low-hanging mini-ponytail, departs his Brooklyn pad for a job in Argentina, where he drinks in the local color. Duvall also directs and writes—the first time he’s done so since The Apostle six years ago. Assassination Tango screens...
...after the opening salvo intended to kill him--hardly seemed himself. Pictured alone in a cramped makeshift studio, the dictator, 65, looked shaken and tired, his face puffy behind big spectacles he rarely wears in public. His words, rambling and repetitive, were read from scribbled notes on a large pad held in a hand more often seen brandishing a rifle.

On the power play at 16:17 after a Collins high-stick, Harvard worked the puck around the zone. Moore pushed the puck to fellow senior Brett Nowak along the low boards. Nowak found sophomore defenseman Noah Welch open on the blue line, and he in turn passed down to Pettit near the top of the right circle. Pettit wound up and fired a hard slap...
