Leave your thoughts about The Duel.
| VarietyOwen GleibermanThe 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. |
| Film InquiryDavid FontanaIt'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. |
| The A.V. ClubAlex McCownBlessed 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. |

| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersThe 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. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerWoody Harrelson and Liam Hemsworth try their best to save this very slow-moving Western. |
| RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonThere’s a lot more nonsense here, all of which starts out intriguingly before overstaying its welcome. |
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghDespite promising elements of mixed-genre thrills, the film is finally the underwhelming sum of too many plot devices. |
| ObserverRex ReedThe theme is racism, insanity and savage brutality in Texas. Some things never change. I guess it’s a new-fangled old-fashioned western. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe story is an intriguing twist on the western genre, but in piling on other subgenres and story elements, including a dangerous and charismatic cult, it dilutes the essential nature of what could have been a potent revenge tale. |
