Steineded How sad is this?

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a young boy who witnessed his father being stabbed to death in a duel. Years later, he is sent to a remote border town, where Mexicans strangely disappears. He investigation and brings the culprits to their rightful justice."The Duel" is not like an ordinary Western film. It is not just about bar fights and senseless violence among ragged men, seeking revenge after revenge. Instead it tells a story that is more than revenge. For a start, the main characters are all well dressed with good self care, which is a refreshing change. The plot emphasises on how the new couple settles into a new town, being embraced and rejected by its residents at the same time. Woody Harrelson portrays a charming leader of the town, yet his two faced character can be chilling at times. The use of snakes though, it a little over the top, and makes me wonder whether that is a realistic portrayal of life back then.

rjacome24 This is the biggest let down of a Western film, it isn't even a Western movie, more of a philosophical boring movie with drama and politics. At best it could be considered a suspense movie with a weird plot that takes way too long, it is boring the entire movie. A Texas ranger is given the task of investigating murders of Mexican immigrants that happen near the Mexico border in a certain Texas town. His wife forces him to take her with him rather than be left home, and so he does because apparently a Texas ranger has to take his wife with him on every job in the 1800s. It gets much worse from there with nothing but a boring story without any western action whatsoever, nothing but continuous drama and only the slightest bit of suspense. The plot also depicts an psychotic evil man who apparently is some sort of "Christian" priest who ironically encourages people to brutally kill others as well as sleep with prostitutes. But the brave Hero is shown to be a good moral atheist. Lmao More politics in Movies. There was no need for anyone's religion to be depicted in this movie, just more political agendas and an incredibly boring plot. Please don't waste your money and more important don't waste your time on this awkward movie.
