07/10/2018 What starts out as a run of the mill cowboy movie turns into a cowboy movie with a ridiculous plot for it's foundation. Most of the actors seemed professional and physically appeared as we might expect people from the late 19thC old west might appear, that is with the exception of bald headed, slow talking (Mr. I'm thinking ahead before I speak) Woody Harrelson. Deep thinking, lost in thought, is not what comes to mind when I think of Woo-D. He's ill cast for the part and his appearance and dialog kills the movie from my perspective, along with that asinine foundation for a movie I've glossed over. At best, a one time watch only movie. Watch for yourself and decide. Bon Appetit
... View MoreI was really impressed by this great movie and the low rating seems totally unjustified to me. Sometimes you see a painting where it is not the content that catches your eye, but the way that it is painted. I would say that i have that experience with this movie: a well crafted piece of art. The acting is superb, the sound, music and scenery fit well together and create the perfect atmosphere for this story. Not a complex or spectacular story, but intriguing, and beautifully painted. Absolutely a must see for those who appreciate quality.

Twenty two years later, Governor Ross sends Texas Ranger David Kingston (Liam Hemsworth) to investigate feared preacher Brant in a mysterious series of murders. David's father had challenged Brant in the duel. Brant is rumored to have slaughter countless Mexicans and Indians. Marisol (Alice Braga) insists of joining her husband David on the mission to Mount Hermon.Kieran Darcy-Smith is more an actor than a director. His style is limited. This needs to be stylistically darker and more brutal. There is already plenty of that in the script but it doesn't feel like it on the screen. I wonder if it's the lighting, the sets, or the camera work. The pacing is lethargic. Woody does his work. Liam isn't bad in this. I'm not sure I understand what happened to Marisol. The parts are here but it's put together a little weak.
... View MoreThe movie was very depressing. They put good actors in a bad movie. I was not to impress with the story to the movie. Not much action in the movie. No point to the movie besides boredom .they had no idea. What they were doing in this movie. What was going on. What was happening. I think it was the worst yet.crappy movie.not good.very pointless.there was no point. It was honestly a pile of **** and don't know how this was even a movie. Doesn't make any sense at all to me. Please tell me where the point is in this movie.the movie duel was no good. I say to anyone do not watch this crappy movie called a movie . Your wasting your time and money on garbage.
