The Duel

It was a great story with some amazingly dark humor and had the best cast to do it with! It really helps show off the diversity of Indiana landscape! A definite must watch film! It shows truly how regrettable it can be to go against your best friends but also how once you have started anything as serious as a duel you must see it through to the end. The Biltmore house, the Inferno Room, and Bluespring Caverns are all hidden gems that this movie has helped expose these amazing places to the world! Pigasus Pictures has truly entered the big leagues with this film! And i can't wait to be able to own a copy so i can watch it over and over!

I had the privilege of seeing this movie premier in theatre and let me just say, it was an EXPERIENCE! The audience loved it. It got a standing ovation! I loved it. It'll have you on the edge of your seat but also laughing at the perfectly timed jokes. You can tell the cast has really great chemistry. The production quality is amazing and oh my gosh the ending..... the ending. It's crazy. The perfect amount of suspense, humor and WTF moments. Great job at keeping it unpredictable but not all over the place. The cast being lovely off camera was such a treat and makes me love the movie even more. It was a 10/10 in my book!

The Duel, starring Dylan Sprouse and Patrick Warburton, poses an interesting question, namely, can or should modern problems be solved with historic solutions. Specifically, was the antebellum tradition of dueling a bonafide, or even an honorable way for real men to settle serious personal disputes? While this may seem outrageous on its face to modern audiences, the film goes to great lengths to explain, after a fashion, the philosophical basis for a practice that presumably spanned many centuries. Of course, the idea that SoCal beach bums would readily adopt the Code Duello may strain the credulity of the viewer. Undoubtedly inspired, to some degree or another, by the success and notoriety of Hamilton on Broadway, The Duel posits an improbable question in a very engaging and watchable package. Patrick Warburton as the dueling expert is reason enough to watch this!

This is a comedy basically making fun of toxic masculinity culture and buddies too invested in the idea of being men to remember they are buddies or able to ever just walk away or talk about it. While there is some interest, I presume the many 9 and 10 reviews were posted by the makers? There really is no action till the end (when the duel finally comes round). The story is built on a premise of being interesting because an old world duel is happening once again in the modern vibe. Trouble is they literally committed to the idea that its this entirely awesome idea, and nobody would ever wonder why? I think the audience might have done better if one or both of the characters WERENT unquestionably locked in this weird illegal unbelievable idea that this is how they should settle this here in modern times? OIf they had shown one of them trying to escape, or both trying to escape, or their friends being the sadistic driving forces or some sort of side twist the audience could see as a reasonable reason maybe? But it just never really felt normal? Still it had a few moments. But it mostly dragged on with no real believable ideals driving it forward. You learned to disrespect toxic masculinity, men in general for being this level of stupid, and women who are painted as in no way worth what they drive men to do. None of it was really working well. It was a better idea than the finished product.
