Two to Tango, also known as Matar es morir un poco (English: "To Kill is To Die a Little"), is a 1989 American-Argentine suspense film directed by Héctor Olivera and based on the novel Last Days of the Victim by José Pablo Feinmann, who also co-wrote the screenplay. It was one in a number of ten movies Roger Corman produced in Argentina during the 1980s.[1] [2]
A hitman who wishes to leave his line of work is tasked by his agency with killing one final target in Buenos Aires, but the situation becomes complicated when he falls in love with his target's lover and asks her to flee to Nepal with him.
The film was based on the novel Ultimas dias de la victima, by Argentine screenwriter, philosopher and novelist Jose Pablo Feinmann. The book was adapted as a movie for the first time in the Argentinian film Últimos días de la víctima (1982).
The story was totally rewritten by a U.S. screenwriter, Yolanda Finch (Yolande Turner), together with Feinmann, for a North American audience.[1]
Variety called it "uneven".[3]
