The Last Duel, directed by Ridley Scott, gives us the texture of life in 14th century France, so much so that we feel that we are there, in this place that’s desperate and foreign and yet human and familiar.

The Last Duel reveals itself as something all too rare on the current Hollywood field of battle: an intelligent and genuinely daring big budget melee that is — above all else — the product of recognizable artistic collaboration.

Really great movie I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good story telling, good quality acting, great visuals, just a well thought out and excellently executed movie. The story is simple and powerful, and the main characters flawed living in a flawed world.... brilliant. This movie is in a class of it's own when compared to the other trash released these days.

Scott’s usual scope and scale meet unreliable narrators for a thought-provoking tale of systematic abuse. In a classy cast, Comer shines brightest.

While it’s not a wholly interesting or original idea to take battling machismo to task by stripping violence of catharsis, The Last Duel—at least in the brutality of its eventual climax—achieves strong emotional blunt force. A sign that its lightly boring morality play and history lesson before the very pre-determined destination was worth the time.

Adapting Eric Jager’s 2004 non-fiction book with screenwriters Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Nicole Holofcener, Scott spins a medieval yarn that is by turns gruesome, grotesque, gorgeous and inconsistent.

Despite a brief action interlude here or there, The Last Duel turns out to be a lavishly convoluted and, at times, rather interesting medieval soap opera.

Degreasing a stove is a more enjoyable way to spend your Saturday night.

It portrays the raw, complicated and ridiculous dynamics that STILL somewhat occur when it comes to violence against women. A must watch!

Bleakly shot and almost of TV quality. Kind of a slow paced hum drum tale. Half way through I was done and fast forwarded to the duel scene. Proves one thing even a good cast need a good script, better pacing and some nice cinematography.
