This movie was great, never taking a rotten tomatoes score seriously again. Wth were y'all watching? Woody is a menace in this movie.

Alice Braga esplendorosa, aquele velho faroeste com fotografia contemporânea... Uma excelente produção, sangrenta, violenta e covarde, o massacre mexicano deve ter sido assim, ou muito pior, e a religião desde sempre deturpando o corpo transformando a malignidade em benção... Muito uau, do meio para final ganha um fôlego renovado, muita intensidade, e que desfecho estupendo... Apaixonante..

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

It was ok. It was definitely entertaining. I thought there were a few plot holes though and the ending was rushed. Still, it's a watchable and decent Western movie.

I thought it was a very slow film with some plot holes but Woody was really strong in this. Liam couldn't keep up with Woody at times and they paint Liam as an overly heroic type of character. However, by the end, you respect Helmsworth's sense of nobility. The actress who played Liam's wife was badly miscast. A stronger female lead would have fixed some of the issues with this film. As a western, it's slow but good for a drinking-type night. I wouldn't have felt ripped off if I saw it in a theater.

Dunno why people are hating on this movie, it's dark well acted and the cinematography is great, it's not the same as movies before either

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Los Angeles Times

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.

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.
