THE MOVIE - ASSASSINATION TANGO

ROBERT DUVALL steps up the pace in this gritty crime thriller set in the sizzling streets of Argentina where ASSASSINATION TANGO explores the sensual world of the tango.

Written and directed by the masterful DUVALL, this is a tale of dancing, deception and deadly passion and will be available to rent on DVD and VHS from 2nd August.

John is a seasoned hit man who is sent on his final job to Buenos Aires to assassinate a corrupt General (ANTHONY ANDERSON, Barbershop).
But when his return is unexpectedly delayed, John finds himself prowling the city and drawn to the intoxicating tango clubs.
Spellbound by the hot Latin dancing, he is seduced by a beautiful and mysterious dancer Manuela, played by newcomer LUCIANA PEDRAZA, who agrees to teach him how to tango.
Swept up in the heat of the sensual tango dancing, John and Manuela’s romance ignites.
The wildly exotic and tantalizing tango gives him a new lease of life.
But the dance-driven romance boils over into a fast-paced drama when he must focus on completing the toughest assignment of his career and staying alive…

ASSASSINATION TANGO is an evocative and absorbing film with fantastic choreography and performances from an all-star cast including RUBEN BLADES (Once Upon a Time in Mexico) and KATHY BAKER (Cold Mountain, The Cider House Rules).

The rhythm of the film is fast-paced with electric and erotic scenes to set the heart racing.

This exotic thriller, which is released at a time when the tango is totally hot thanks to the recent BBC TV series 'Strictly Come Dancing', will be available to rent on DVD and VHS from 2nd August.
