The Last Duel (2021)

[cinemoments]

The last duel, dir. Ridley Scott, 2021.

[spinnenpfote6]

I’ve been thinking about making myself an AO3 account because I really wanna write some dumb fanfic/oneshot featuring Adam Driver as knight/squire Kylo Ren and Alex Lawther’s King Charles but it would be historically inaccurate af and I don’t know where to start and what plot or situation to pick lmao

[mandoreviews]

📽️ The Last Duel (2021)

The trailer for this movie was so good! I was dying to see this movie just because the trailer made it look amazing. It was not what I expected, but it may have been better than what I expected. I loved that it told the story from the perspective of each person involved. It made for a longer movie, but it was awesome to see it from each side and see how different people view the same circumstances in different ways. Perception plays a huge part in this movie. Honestly, I didn’t really like any of the characters, but that was part of what it so interesting. That, and the fact that, even though the story is told in the three different ways, you’re never quite sure what the truth really is. Now, it is pretty graphic (both with violence and sex), but if that doesn’t bother you then I definitely recommend this one.

Sex/nudity: 8/10 (full female frontal nudity, fairly graphic orgy scene, graphic rape scene shown multiple times, references to sex, crude terms used for sex and body parts, probably more - it’s pretty graphic)

Language: 7/10 (4 f-words, 2 c-words, not a lot else, Ben Affleck says most of it)

Violence: 7/10 (prolonged rape scenes, battle sequences, animal killings, one long fight scene with lots of blood and stabbings, death shown on screen)

Overall rating: 7/10

if they make a movie on adam i hope they cast alex lawther

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Open on an erratic driver in the city at night. He has ear pain, swerves around and crashes in front of a doctor's office. In agony, he makes hiss way up to the doc, collapsing on the man's desk. His entire face and head is mutating from something which he demands the doctor remove. Before the doc can act, the man tells thing in his ear that it "can't make him anymore", then yanks it out and throws it on the floor, and he dies.

Cut to opening credits.

Next, at Curious Goods, Micki and Jack are late for an auction. Johnny is writing a story based on Bigfoot, after reading about it in a tabloid. The auction they are going to is from the estate of a man who bought a half dozen items from Louis. The man, an investment banker, never answered their calls. As they leave, Johnny picks up his paper. The back page has a story about a banker whose head exploded in his doctor's office.

Cut to an audience watching a show of a man, Adam Cole, with supposed psychic power. He correctly guesses the photo a woman had. He correctly guesses the next person is a woman, but then misses the cues given by his assistant in the audience. Seems his hearing is beginning to fail.

Backstage, his assistant Phil (who says he created this whole act), demands Adam get a hearing aid, and they bicker. Phil doesn't want their current hot streak to end.

At a doctor's office, Adam gets bad news about his hearing, and the doc says he needs it and surgery won't help. Adam is quite reluctant. The doc leaves Adam to look at the hearing aids, but Adam feels drawn by a slight pulsing sound to open a drawer. He finds an odd hearing aid inside and puts it in his ear, hearing the doctor from the other room. The doctor tells him not use that one, but Adam pockets it.

At the next show, Phil and Adam go over their cues. Adam is nervous people will think the hearing aid is a cheat, but Phil says the blindfold will cover it. He also tells Adam a talent coordinator for a television show will be in attendance. They have prepared ahead of time to surprise them with info they have researched.

Adam is doing well at the show, hitting on all of Phil's cues. Next, Phil lets Adam know he is near the talent scout. Phil asks for more info on her, and just then, the cursed hearing aid begins to show Adam what it can do: let him hear the thoughts of everyone in the room. Adam is overwhelmed, tearing off the blindfold. But then the device calms down, and he tells a heckler about the fact that he killed someone. The man is angry, but Adam pushes on, scaring everyone. He goads the man to pull out his gun, which he does, and shoots, missing Adam. The man is subdued by others. The audience is shocked, and Randi, the scout, is quite impressed. Phil is confused. A glimpse of the hearing aid shows it pulsating in his ear and Adam rushes out, stumbling on the streets in pain.

At Curious Goods, Micki signs for a package. Seems they have bought back five of the six items from the auction, but are still unable to locate the last the man bought, a hearing aid. Johnny remembers the story from his tabloid. Jack and Micki's info on the banker and his death match up with the article. Jack is skeptical, but Johnny presses on. Soon enough they are inclined to believe him.

Adam is still struggling with intense pain, making his way back to the doctor's office, just as Jack calls the doctor. Adam bursts in and scares the doctor, pushing all the thoughts built up in his head on to the man, killing him but releasing the pain from himself. Jack has heard the noise on the phone and tells the others they need to go, now. Adam leaves. Jack and crew get to the doctor's office and find his dead body.

Later, Adam shows up at the apartment of Randi, the talent scout, with wine, telling her things he heard her think earlier. Still impressed by his ability, she lets him in and closes the door.

Jack, Johnny and Micki search the doctor's office. They take his appointment book to investigate his patients.

Next morning, Adam and Randi are still in bed, having fun. She knows he is somehow reading her mind. He also can tell she wants him on the show, tonight. And that she wants to run the show herself. He says maybe she will someday. She goes to dress, he calls Phil, who says the phone has been ringing off the hook. Everyone wants him to be on their show. Adam then tell Phil he is breaking up their act, to Phil's dismay. Adam hangs up. A knock at the door, and Phil answers to Jack, looking for Adam. Phil tells Jack Adam sometimes lives there, but just quit. Jack presses, and Phil tells him that Adam will be on The Stan Elliot Show tonight.

Back at the store, Jack arrives and hears Micki and Johnny had no luck with the patients they checked out, but Jack thinks Adam is the guy and tells them about Adam's sudden reversal of fortune. Jack knows mentalists are just working on clues, not mind readers. He tells them to go to the show while he does research, and warns them that Adam might be able to read their minds, too.

At the show that night, Adam is on his own, doing his act, hearing aid in place. He knows people's names, and is being quite charismatic. Micki and Ryan are in the audience, and Phil, looking disheveled, also arrives to watch. Adam amazes a couple, knowing the man has a ring and is preparing to propose. Audience loves him.

On stage with Stan Elliot, Adam tells the host what he's thinking. He then spots Phil, and the sees Micki stand up. She tells Johnny she's going backstage, but Adam hears her thoughts about the hearing aid and getting it back, to stop him before more die.

After the show, Randi tells Adam that Stan Elliot loves him and wants him on the show again tomorrow. Randi is falling for him, he can tell from her thoughts. Adam says he wants her to produce the show, and that Stan Elliot will be agreeable since he wants to replace the current producer.

As they enter his dressing room, they find Phil inside. Adam sends Randi away. Drunken Phil is angry for being dumped as Adam hit it big. Phil pushes, letting Adam know about Jack coming to ask questions about him. He tells Phil to go after they argue. Micki arrives as Phil leaves, and thinks about the hearing aid, which Adam hears. She leaves, and Adam moves his hand, revealing the pulsating changes to his face the cursed item is causing.

Johnny is surprised Micki let Adam read her mind, so that he will come after her. She walks off, Johnny promising to follow closely. Adam does follow Micki as she walks, listening to her thoughts. Johnny almost hits someone who makes a scene, then a cop taps on Johnny's window. Micki wonders where Johnny is as Adam continues to chase her, then grabs Micki. They struggle, and he is trying to dump his overloaded head on to her, but Johnny drives up quick and Adam takes off.

Back at the store, Johnny calls out for Jack and tells him Adam tried to kill her, holding his head in pain. Jack says he figured out how the curse works. The aid lets Adam hear thoughts, but then Adam needs to offload them. Micki wonders how they can stop him if he knows what they are thinking.

Adam bursts in to Phil's apartment, in agonizing pain. Phil isn't surprised Adam came to him, but is shocked by Adam's appearance. Adam grabs him and pushes all the thoughts to Phil, killing him, just as Randi walks in to witness this. She's scared, but Adam says he had to do it to keep his power. Reading her thoughts, he knows she got the producing job. He says she can have whatever she wants for the rest of her life.

They go back to her apartment. Randi is still unsure, but Adam says they can have it all, and she'll never be alone again. She thinks he is perfect, he hears these thoughts, and then they kiss.

Micki is reading the paper and it seems The Stan Elliot Show is offering $50,000 to anyone who can stump Adam. Jack says the talk show is just step one for Adam. Micki suggests they talk to Phil, so they head out.

Adam is getting made up for that night's show. Randi introduces him to the network president, who wants to talk to him tomorrow. Adam tells Randi then man wants him for his own show. He tells her to cancel the other guests tonight, he wants the whole hour.

At Phil's crappy apartment, Micki and the guys look around. Micki sees blood under the sofa, and they find Phil's body underneath. They take off.

As the audience settles in, Stan Elliot is freaking out about just having only Adam. Randi tells him to calm down and trust her. The show starts.

As they drive to the studio, Jack tells them Adam can't listen to all their thoughts at once.

Adam is playing the crowd, as the pain builds in his head. Jack and crew arrive backstage, but Randi takes them to his dressing room. She locks them in.

Adam is in pain, and stumbles backstage to Randi. She says Jack Marshak is in the dressing room with two others. Adam gets pissed off that it is multiple people, so he pushes all the thoughts on to Randi, killing her, as Jack, Johnny and Micki try in vain to get out of the room.

As the show comes back from commercial, Adam shows up late, but is feeling better and goes back into his routine.

Jack and the others get the door off finally, find dead Randi, and rush to the audience. Adam is looking for another challenger, and Jack says he'll challenge him. Adam reads Jack's thoughts, about all the deaths. He tells Adam to remove the hearing aid, saying it isn't needed if he is reading thoughts. Micki and Johnny add their thoughts to the mix, goading Adam. Soon, the audience turns, and the thoughts become overwhelming. Jack presses, and Adam's face mutates, worse and worse, pulsing in front of the audience, who watch in shock. Soon, Adam pulls it out and drops it before dying. Johnny picks it up.

At the store later, they look at the small hearing aid. Johnny wonders if Jack was afraid, but he says Adam was trapped in the spotlight, adding that Adam should have looked at what was in his own mind before delving into the minds of others.

My thoughts:

Quite an interesting item. Reading someone's thoughts is quite a power to get. But I wonder if the antique would have been better able to keep itself out in the world if it let the user just hear one person's thoughts, instead of overloading the curse user to the point of death. Seems like it worked against itself in the end.

Adam was charismatic. And he found an eagerly opportunistic partner in crime with Randi. Too bad the pain was overwhelming.

The special effects were super gross. Not an episode for those with an aversion to body horror.

Micki put herself in a very vulnerable position. Might have been smarter for Johnny to follow on foot, as well. She's lucky he was able to get away from the cops quickly.

I liked Johnny trying to be a writer. A little more development for him.

And was the auction Micki and Jack went to their best ever attempt at getting antiques back? Five out of six items bought back with no muss or fuss! Impressive.
