Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

George Taylor Dennis Weaver is chased by an unknown truck driver in one of Steven Spielbergs earliest movies. Relentless nail biter, I'm really glad no one has decided to remake what is essentially, a perfect movie.

DVR_Brale Most of the movie we see a guy, driving a regular car, who is being chased by another guy in a large truck. Conversations are seldom, characters few, as well as locations; everything happens in the lifeless Deserts of California. But you don't need any of that to create a gripping movie which Spielberg was successful to do using different camera angles which emphasized speed of the chase and secretly approach - a regular guy is getting chased 'out-of-the-blue' by anonymous, eager fella and nobody knows why. This secretly approach immediately signals that Duel is not a regular 'cat vs. mouse" movie as most of the people tend to see it. Rather, it seems to me that Spielberg tried to describe thoughts and behavior of a deeply insecure man when encountering a life threatening peril. A small car getting chased by a truck can thus be interpreted as a materialised dynamic of an interior process. With this approach all the details become meaningful: truck being dilapidated but still powerful, driver of the truck completely anonymous, action happening in the deserts with long roads and nowhere to hide, monologues peculiar to insecure people, ending itself etc.Either way, even for nowadays audiences, Duel is tense and fun. But underneath the chase there is more than meets the eye with enough space for individual and completely free interpretation which I applaud and appreciate.

shakercoola A well crafted and masterfully edited film about a reluctant man on a journey who is drawn into a fight to the death. Initially made for TV, Duel was released for foreign audiences the same year as a feature film with extra scenes filmed afterwards to take it up to the 90 mins mark. Internationally, it attracted the interest of Fellini, who recognised and embraced young Spielberg as a great new talent.

rodrig58 In my opinion, this "Duel" is Steven Spielberg's most Hitchcockian movie. Simple, effective, with great talent, using actors who are not celebrities - they are not even known - he manages to make a film that does not let you get bored at all, you follow it with much interest from start until the end. After 46 years from my first view, I really enjoyed it again. Best film of Dennis "McCloud" Weaver and one of Spielberg's best. Pure suspense. But with an original Spielberg brand. Very much appreciated how it is filmed and how it is edited.
