The Duel Ratings & Reviews
Film Inquiry
David Fontana
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.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
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.
Common Sense Media
Barbara Shulgasser
Muddled, violent Western echoes Apocalypse Now.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
Woody Harrelson and Liam Hemsworth try their best to save this very slow-moving Western.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
For those capable of working past such strangeness at times, there's plenty to admire about the effort, which hits genre highlights while remaining in a dark place.
We Got This Covered
Bernard Boo
The Duel is a forgettable, muddled affair that wastes its two charismatic leads on endless scenes of tonal wonkiness.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
Pretty to look at, but the story itself is overly long and overly wrought, a flabby two-hour tale that feels about three.
CinemaBlend
Gregory Wakeman
The Duel boasts an impressively psychotic Woody Harrelson performance, bloody violence, and an intriguing allegorical plot, but it's just all a bit lightweight.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
"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.
Observer
Rex Reed
Situations are not always convincing, and motivations are so weak that whole sections of explanation seem to be missing.
AV Club
Alex McLevy
Blessed with solid supporting character work and several scenes of genuine good fun, the movie manages to make its nearly two-hour run-time pass by easily enough, but not so much so that the seams on this patchwork quilt don't still show.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Despite promising elements of mixed-genre thrills, the film is finally the underwhelming sum of too many plot devices.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
It's like "Straw Dogs" as a mediocre TV-movie, and the tension slowly dissipates.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
The Duel could have been something.
Entertainment Weekly
Devan Coggan
Hemsworth's emotionless performance (and a murky subplot about his wife's inexplicable descent into madness) mean that this scattershot Western misses its mark.
Nerdist
Luke Y. Thompson
...mostly makes for a satisfactory mano a mano battle in bullets and brutality
