The Last Duel (2021)
Honestly, the fight scenes were WAY more crazy than I expected and by far the best part of this movie. The acting is really good, but the story was slow. [Ben Affleck] with blonde hair is something I never thought I'd see and he looks so weird. It takes a couple scenes to get used to it.

Review
Honestly, the fight scenes were WAY more crazy than I expected and by far the best part of this movie. The acting is really good, but the story was slow. [Ben Affleck] with blonde hair is something I never thought I'd see and he looks so weird. It takes a couple scenes to get used to it.
However, back to the movie. Its a good story. It was interesting the small changes that were made in each telling of the scenes about the actions each person saw or felt they presented themselves. Ridley Scott (I know he is really mad about the viewership for this movie and "People on their screens", but honestly the amount of marketing for this movie was very limited) did a great job in showing small details or reshooting the scene with small changes made this interesting. It is very much a historical political drama mostly, so it can be slow at times.
My Rating
It's pretty good... ish. The acting is good and I believe follows the story pretty closely. Worth a watch at home if you like dramas.
Parental Rating
My Dad would watch it but be bored and my mom wouldn't watch this. Too much sex for her and the sex is pretty graphic.
