The Duel's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
The Duel" promises a battle of wits and wills, then turns into a violent grab-bag. But it does make you want to see Woody Harrelson get another movie worthy of his leering bald Nietzschean bravura.
The A.V. Club
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.
New York Times
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.
Roger Ebert
There?s a lot more nonsense here, all of which starts out intriguingly before overstaying its welcome.
The Hollywood Reporter
There are plenty of fisticuffs and shootouts to be found in 'The Duel', but precious little of interest.
