Review of The Duel

The Duel (I) (2016)
7/10
Missing the good footage
18 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This movie misses just one thing, which makes it so underrated: the proper footage. I've imagined its action using the old 60-70s cameras, and colors, and the feeling on the cinema tape. If it all would be right here, we would see this new-kind of western with another eyes.

I truly liked the original plot, which is combined here with classic western elements. What distinct is, the Bad guy and the Good guy are on different sides not because of money, not a woman, and even not because of revenge.

The most interesting fact there is no obvious sex or platitudes, or something which would make your stomach suspended. Authors are very polite to their work and they're trying to avoid special effects, to make the suspense and philosophy on top of this all.

The final scene looks a bit unbelievable, and reminded me one of the scenes in the acclaimed Danny Boyle movies... but considering how hardcore mad and strong is the person played by Mr. Harrelson, I may agree this still could be allowed.
