Upon discovering that his best friend, Colin (Dylan Sprouse), has been having an affair with his girlfriend, Woody (Callan Mcauliffe) decides that no modern form of revenge could possibly satisfy him. Instead, Woody challenges his closest companion to a classic contest of honor -- a gentleman's duel to the death. When two of their friends join the act, the once inseparable group of men inch closer to the day of destiny and test the bonds of their relationship until the moment of no return.

The edgy comedy looks sharp enough, but lands like a rapier with a cork on it.

7/10

It has an interesting premise, but falls apart in the 2nd act. The 3rd act does redeem it somewhat.

2.5/5

If you plow down deep enough you’ll find what resembles a thematic core. But it’s buried under banter and antics that only seem there to get an R rating.

A macho fantasy film that seemed effete to me.

3/4

This modern-day dramedy, about an old-school idea, successfully balances humor and anxiety.

7/10

The Duel leaves a bit to be desired in terms of its characters, mainly because its absurdist tendencies go overboard, but its satire is compelling enough to warrant a watch.

Great movie, the directors kelp you thinking and wondering how the movie was going to end.

This was really special. Sprouse is all grown up, and it's good to see he's picking cool projects. It was almost perfect for me, just a little slow in the middle.

A very clever film that kept you not knowing for sure how it would end until the very end.

If only it could have found its feet. It often felt piecemeal and clumsy. But if you can overlook that fact, there are some real gems here. I was entertained and would likely watch again.

Not horrible but also not great. The idea hooked me but I just found it to be a bit boring. The actors to me didn't connect well. Many were good but the connections were off.
