“The Duel” (*1/2 out of four) was a dud Western about a young Texas ranger (Liam Helmsworth) who comes to a small middle-of-nowhere town to investigate several unexplained deaths and then tangles with a treacherous preacher (Woody Harrelson) resulting in a duel to the death. Both Harrelson and Helmsworth can play these roles in their sleep by now and while we’re at it, film’s tedious pace and standard Western setting and cliches may put you to sleep. It’s hard to remember when Westerns used to be exciting and fun.
