O Último Duelo

This is the second failure I've seen this week from Justin Lee - the other being another miserable mess, A Reckoning. Does he not know how to write a screenplay or direct his actors? I guess this is the result when all your experience in writing and directing is TV series. At least give one of those hats to a professional that can teach you something before you try to do it all yourself when taking on a full length feature film. And what's with the Westerns genre? Dumb story that goes nowhere with lousy pacing and boring extended scenes that make you yawn. At least the directing was slightly better than A Reckoning. A generous 3/10 for the cinematography and directing.

With the exception of dialogue with Rose (trite, bad acting, unneeded romantic sub plot) the majority of the rest is well written and well acted for the budget. Cameos by bigger name actors are nicely integrated. Story is believable and details are seemingly and unusually accurate to the period. Filming is well done with well curated sets, costuming and beautiful locations. Re-casting or removing the Rose character would have elevated this flick to "memorable".

10/18/2018 Definitely worth watching one time, but the storyline and acting could have been much, much better. Enjoy it for what it is and try not to be to critical while you watch. Bon Appetit

This movie sucks. I do not advise anyone to see this movie !!!

I wanted to like this, since it was set in an area I know and like. Unfortunately, nothing about this was decent except the location. Poor direction, a bad script, and maybe collectively some of the worst acting I've ever seen. The story could have been great, but sadly, this was really awful. I think three stars was being generous.
