Prime Video is removing Jodie Comer's "fantastic" period drama this week

The Last Duel, a period drama starring Jodie Comer, is leaving a UK streamer in the coming days. With a stacked cast including Matt Damon and Adam Driver, you'll need to hurry to watch this one.

The film is from legendary director Ridley Scott, and is based on Eric Jager's 2004 narrative history book The Last Duel: A True Story of Crime, Scandal and Trial by Combat in Medieval France.

The period drama is based on a true story, with Damon portraying nobleman Sir Jean de Carrouges. After his wife Marguerite (Comer), accuses Jacques le Gris (Driver) of rape, the pair take part in a judicial duel.

The acclaimed film is currently available to stream in the UK on Prime Video, though you'll have to act quickly if you want to watch it there, as the listing is due to expire on Friday (25 September).

In addition to the aforementioned stars, the stellar cast includes Ben Affleck, Harriet Walter, Alex Lawther and Clare Dunne. Affleck and Damon, who also serve as producers, co-wrote the screenplay with Nicole Holofcener.

Though not a box office success upon its theatrical release in 2021, The Last Duel was widely lauded by critics, with Rotten Tomatoes currently reporting an impressive approval rating of 85% from 292 reviews.

"The Last Duel is perfectly engrossing as a slice of historical intrigue, a clash of iron wills and iron swords, all muddied on the battlefields of medieval France," noted The Independent, while Chicago Sun-Times called it "fantastic".

"Even as it pretends to add complexity and context, it simplifies and focuses. It's not so much a history lesson as it is a savage, beautiful catharsis - a bonfire of the bros," opined Vulture, while The Jewish Chronicle dubbed it a "compelling medieval cautionary tale".

The Washington Post was also full of praise, writing: "As a portrayal of preening male vanity and misogynistic hypocrisy that exists to this day, The Last Duel reaches at relevancy with admirable ambition."

The Last Duel is streaming on Prime Video until Friday 25 September.
