The Duel is a Western film directed by Kieran Darcy-Smith and written by Matt Cook. The story follows David Kingston, a Texas Ranger who investigates a series of unexplained deaths in a town called Helena, where he hides his identity from the preacher and mayor Abraham Brant whom killed his father 20 years prior to the events of the movie.
The film stars Liam Hemsworth as David Kingston and Alice Braga as Marisol Kingston whilst Woody Harrelson portrays Abraham Brant and Emory Cohen plays Isaac Brant. The two leads, Liam and Woody are great in their roles, giving their best to the screen. The others are also pretty good, nothing wrong with the acting.
But why did the film get such bad reviews and low score on IMDB? I believe it's because of how dark and gritty it is and how it isn't historically accurate, the movie is also slow paced and has meaningful dialogue above action, but when action hits it hits hard.
But my honest opinion is that it's a nice looking film that placed two great actors against each other and it made for some entertaining and well done drama. It's worth watching, for the cinematography and acting, I also found the story to be quite well and the characters were well written.
