The Duel never feels long, Darcy-Smith allowing events to build with a deliberate delicacy that allows the final face-off between David and Abraham to explode in emotive ferocity.

Pretty to look at, but the story itself is overly long and overly wrought, a flabby two-hour tale that feels about three.

"The Duel" has a few ideas and a glint of politics but is largely characterized by its perplexing shifts in tone and unpersuasive story turns.

3/5

Hemsworth and Braga make a well-matched couple as the forces of good digging into the townsfolk's secrets, but it's Harrelson who really catches the eye.

It's not entirely forgettable, yet in our current world where even big stars don't sell movie tickets, The Duel had to have something more in order to really be successful. The film is an unfortunate misfire.

Watched this in two sittings.., I enjoy a western, and although this has a narrative that escalates quickly, it was definitely worth a watch.

This movie was very slow, but interesting. The end was absolutely pathetic and anti-climactic.

Do not stop thinking about Trump's wall when watching the movie

This is not one of my favorite westerns. I thought that it was very slow and boring for the most part. The last 30 minutes are somewhat decent, but the movie as a whole was a bit of a disappointment.

Decent performances and an interesting plot make this sluggish Wild West drama watchable. The Duel isnt your typical shootout western but its disturbing. The ending was a little unsatisfactory because theres no telling what happened to his wife, but all in all I was intrigued to see how the story will conclude.
