The Duel

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

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

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.
