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.July 07, 2016

Even when "The Duel" isn't very good, at least it's bad in surprising ways.June 23, 2016

Pretty to look at, but the story itself is overly long and overly wrought, a flabby two-hour tale that feels about three.July 02, 2016
Woody Harrelson and Liam Hemsworth try their best to save this very slow-moving Western.
