Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWoody Harrelson scrimmaged with a local high school girls' soccer team on two Saturday mornings and one Sunday afternoon while staying in Greenwood during filming.
- GoofsThis is described as taking place in 1866 - two years after the War Between the States. The weapons used are anachronistic. The first Winchesters were made in 1866 and certainly not enough to have populated the 'West' so rapidly as to be the dominate arm in the movie. And the Springfield trapdoor shown in the movies wasn't around until 1873.
However, only the opening scene is set in 1866. The rest of the movie is set 22 years later in 1888. By then these weapons would have been available and commonplace.
- Quotes
Abraham: [in a foreign language] You were sent here for me. I will not let you go.
David Kingston: What does that mean?
Abraham: "I'll embrace your company while I have it."

The Duel
This film tells the story of a young boy who witnessed his father being stabbed to death in a duel. Years later, he is sent to a remote border town, where Mexicans strangely disappears. He investigation and brings the culprits to their rightful justice.
"The Duel" is not like an ordinary Western film. It is not just about bar fights and senseless violence among ragged men, seeking revenge after revenge. Instead it tells a story that is more than revenge. For a start, the main characters are all well dressed with good self care, which is a refreshing change. The plot emphasises on how the new couple settles into a new town, being embraced and rejected by its residents at the same time. Woody Harrelson portrays a charming leader of the town, yet his two faced character can be chilling at times. The use of snakes though, it a little over the top, and makes me wonder whether that is a realistic portrayal of life back then.
