Review of Duel

Duel (1971 TV Movie)
5/10
A mixed bag
13 February 2002
On the one hand, you can tell that Spielberg is on his way to "Jaws" at this point. Can't you here the "duh-nuh" as the truck appears?

The cinematography was great, as the camera shots alone were enough for suspense. No need for music, not for Dennis Weaver to say much. Which is a good thing, because he hardly does. It's hard to look at this film 30 years after the fact and not notice how bizarre everyone around is acting. A classic suspense movie, but one that might have been better with no dialogue at all.
