This could end up wrongly in so many ways.
The story is simple, but told in 3 different views. The Duel is nothing short of spectacular and quite faithful to the real historic accounts.
3 great actors, Matt, Adam and Jodie tell us their version of the events, one of them probably the most faithful version.. up to the watcher to decide.
Photography on spot, with a necessary slow boil until the final action scene, with scenes of rare beauty and taste.
Soundtrack is reminiscent of "Kingdom of Heaven" (very similar on the end of the movie).
Ridley delivers yet again an epic, this time almost on a Shakespearian level and, like someone mentioned already, reminding us of a "Rashomon" style of counting the tale in several versions (but all necessary).
All in all a great movie that kept me on my "nerves" until the end. Who was the real hero, is for you to decide, but it shows how the middle ages were at the time towards women (unfortunately still happens today in some places).
Great story telling and I wish Riddle keeps with more period dramas or even epics, he has the talent to deliver and usually does.
