Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Imran Ahmed Western movies are few and far between these days. So when a Western does appear I take the time to watch them. Generally, the stories are not the simple 'black and white' good versus evil or cowboys versus Indians plots of the past. Instead, viewers are fed with more complicated stories with fewer set piece gunfights. The Duel is no exception. It has some great acting by Woody Harrelson though the other main actor's performance, i.e. Liam Hemsworth, is acceptable at best. The story has an underlying social message relevant to today's far right Christian movement about discrimination and xenophobia. At times the plot moves slowly and the film could do with more action. Nonetheless, for fans of Western movies The Duel is eminently watchable.

Jurjen van der Hoek I was really impressed by this great movie and the low rating seems totally unjustified to me. Sometimes you see a painting where it is not the content that catches your eye, but the way that it is painted. I would say that i have that experience with this movie: a well crafted piece of art. The acting is superb, the sound, music and scenery fit well together and create the perfect atmosphere for this story. Not a complex or spectacular story, but intriguing, and beautifully painted. Absolutely a must see for those who appreciate quality.

Michael Ledo In the opening scene Abraham (Woody Harrelson) kills a man in a knife duel. The six year old son of the dead man becomes a Texas Ranger 22 years later in the post Civil War era. With Mexican bodies turning up in the river, David (Liam Hemsworth) goes to investigate and his wife (Alice Braga) insists on going with him. Abraham runs the town in a cult-like fashion wearing cult white when we first see him again.David is offered the job of sheriff, which he doesn't take lightly.The acting was good and the film had a few good scenes. You kept waiting for the inevitable conflict and revealing of identity which was slow in coming. David's wife was a confusing mess.Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity.

robertahoyt-86667 We rented this movie and I was horrified and disgusted by it, I do not want to ever see a movie as gross and stupid as this again as long as I live. This is not a well thought out critical review, and there's a good reason for that. This movie doesn't deserve one. It's just ugly and awful without a single redeeming characteristic. I have few enough years left in my life, I refuse to waste them on ugly trashy movies that are upsetting and simply gross. No good acting here, no wonderfully written story, no adventure or interesting plot, just humans behaving badly and I must highly and unequivocally NOT recommend it.
