The Last Duel (2021)

The Last Duel (2021) is our first Ridley Scott picture! Full disclosure... Ryan loves Ridley Scott but he's well aware of the some times sporadic quality of his work. Some times it's great. Some times it's not. In this case, it's not great.

We're uncovering his latest work, THE LAST DUEL, this episode. It's also noted as one of the latest "spots" in any of the films we've covered, within the last few minutes of the film inordinate length. And yes, the film is inordinate. It's too long. And it subjects you to a scene of the worst kind of barbaric human indecency one can inflict on another not once, but TWICE so you're able to ascertain some level of subtly from this heavy handed example of storytelling. We break it down pretty succinctly but it's not easy to bring the yucks when this is what you have to work with... Good luck.
