Attempting to transform predictable material into ambitious, unusual storytelling is always an admirable (and welcome) goal, but here, the tactic back ..

It should be fascinating to watch as the towns secret horrors transform David into a morally loose and bloodthirsty ranger, questing for vengeance.

Very message y.The movies greatest flaw is that, despite all the violence, it isnt nearly as disturbing or instructive as it seems to want to be.
Common Sense Media

Its more like Straw Dogs as a mediocre TV movie, and the tension slowly dissipates.
Variety

A cinematically flat, sluggish western that feels altogether bloodless despite offering up several splatterings of runny red stuff, The Duel is a mess ..

Its not enough to encourage saddling up for the ride, but if captured and taken there against ones will, one can at least enjoy the scenery.

Editing isnt kind to the film, which feels rushed in places, awkwardly shaped to bring the movie down to a manageable size.

Woody Harrelson and Liam Hemsworth try their best to save this very slow moving Western.

The surfeit of danger and the continuing violence should add up to more suspense, but an occasional abhorrent gasp is all this ambitious, slow moving, ..

This climax alone is enough for me to recommend the watching of the film to genre fans.

That isnt really good enough.A simple aside about Abraham being a master of hypnosis, or something like that, could have gone a long way there.

But despite promising elements of mixed genre thrills, the film is finally the underwhelming sum of too many plot devices.
