The Last Duel, I finally saw it, and thoughts...

It's brilliant. Every performance in this film is 100% a game. Fuck, this is among his best work, and I've been watchin Ridley movies since fucking Alien.

The fight at the end is better than Gladiator. Yup.

I don't think I have ever seen Ben Affleck acting better than he does here.

Matt is unreal.

Fuckin Adam Driver is fucking brilliant and I can't believe the missed opportunity here. I DO believe he could have been Darth Vader's Grandson. Missed. He was perfectly cast for Kylo Ren, it was just a shitty character, imo, in 3 shitty movies.

Jodie Cormer is 100% up for a nom here. Oh, she's killer, in a film where everybody is killer. Oh, she's great. Do I agree that she "steals the movie"? No, it's just that part 3 of the Last Duel is a fucking gut punch, and most people will be rooting for her character, imo.

This film is a little blatant and a little on the nose, so anti sjw's may not like that idea, but I think it works. It's a fucking great film and I can't wait to see House of Gucci.

All hail to Sir Ridley Scott, he's one of the best filmmakers of all time, by far.

As always, your milage may vary.
