Review – The Last Duel

 Here we have the Rashomon version of one of the last times in French history that a legal dispute was ever decided by trial by combat. When Marguerite de Carrouges (Jodie Comer) accuses Jacques le Gris (Adam Driver) of rape, her husband (Matt Damon) proves politically unpopular enough to prevent him from seeking justice in the courts. So he challenges her attacker to a duel in which God will allow right to prevail. You can tell Ridley Scott directed this because of all the crap floating around in the air. Honestly, I'm a little surprised that he’d try another long, moody, Medieval drama, though it was more bad luck than bad filmmaking when this flopped due to poor promotion support from the studio. Mildly amusing
