Ben Affleck Knows the Real Reason 'The Last Duel' Suffered at the Box Office
1 year ago
When I saw the trailer for The Town, I was mesmerized. Well-executed, edited to-the-nines; star players laying it on the line.
When I saw the trailer for this film, I wondered how long a "duel" could last. The average in-shape man can fight at full energy for about 3 minutes.
And then I wondered how an hour and a half film could stretch that 3 minutes out. It just didn't grab me.
To be fair, one of Ryan Reynolds' most under-rated performances is in "Buried", and it had the same effect on me: What will they do for 90 minutes?
Which meant I wouldn't pay to see it in the theatre. But when I saw it on HBO a year later, it was awesome!
..."Plus, the name choice sucked"... B. Affleck...
Love ya, Ben! Can't wait to see this on HBO:)
