Disappointing 'Guy Ritchie from Wish'. TV movie level at best.

It's a shame Neil Marshall has gone down to this level. After his magnificent start (Dog Soldiers, Descent, Doomsday) it appears he peaked very early in his career.

The dialogue is very predictable. The story been told a million times and much better.

Unconvincing fights and overlong back and forth shoot outs become tiresome.

Tiger pit was hilariously overused.

The lead actress isn't as drop dead gorgeous as the director seems to think she is.

Her accent grates. Her fighting is terrible.

When so many kick ass female characters out there (Atomic Blonde, Red Sparrow, Nikita, Ava. Anna, Salt to name just a few) all done so much better it's kinda been done to death so if going to do it. Do it well and maybe a little different.

Sean Pertwee is always a fun watch, even if okays the same character in every film. He's a regular with Neil since Dog Soldiers.)

Stephanie Beecham is hilarious as "Charlie" the supposed dangerous hhead of a criminal organisation. But was cringe. Maybe they thought this would be her new breakout rolel playing against type (like Hugh Grant in The Gentlemen) of so then big fail.

Ita not all terrible. Just forced and cliché. The narration by the female lead was irritating straight away. Yes. That Snatch Guy Ritchie era narration wasn't good as the less you heard her voice the better.

Credit to the surprise desert death which I didn't see coming. One of only a few good moments.

Oh Neil. What happened?

Just go watch Atomic Blonde again.

Go team!

In Duchess, we follow a tough, petty criminal who morphs into an anti-heroine to be reckoned with in a murky underworld, in the treacherous world of diamond smuggling.

Erm.. an okay action/...romance film here, with a likeable enough lead actress. Turns into a bit of a comedy down the stretch, perhaps going a tad long. People always comparing every British crime film to Guy Ritchie's work is hardly fair, though it sure isn't where Marshall's previous accomplishments lie. The characters needed more detail or reason to root for them I'd say and there was plenty of shooting and fighting, without a lot of other, but what there was, is decent.

That was very mediocre, especially coming from Neil Marshall.

Earlier this month, I had binge through all of Neil Marshall's filmography and it was a fun experience for the most part. Now, I just finished watching his latest movie, Duchess (2024) and it was very mediocre.

Positives for Duchess (2024): Charlotte Kirk gives a good performance as the titular character in this movie. There are spots to where the B-Action side of this movie can be fun. And finally, the action sequences in this movie are good.

Negatives for Duchess (2024): The movie's premise is all that interesting to begin with. There are some noticeably bad performances from the other actors. And finally, the movie's runtime is dragged out way too long.

Overall, Duchess (2024) is one of those movies where it depends on you go into this movie and what you are expecting from it, so I would recommend that you go check this movie out for yourself.
