      The Old Way

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Nicolas Cage's first Western may be a bit of a genre departure for the prolific actor, but in most respects, it's merely a return to his Old Way of picking up roles in disappointingly subpar projects.

      Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's just so bland and cheap-looking. Jan 18, 2023 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Two elements make the picture worth watching: one is Nicolas Cage, wearily brutal as Colton Briggs, a man who has already completed a lifetime’s worth of killing. The other is Ryan Kiera Armstrong... Rated: 3/5 Jan 16, 2023 Full Review Jordan King Empire Magazine Though Cage and Armstrong’s father-daughter dynamic merits praise, The Old Way tries so hard to emulate Westerns past that it squanders a gilt-edged opportunity to do something new. Rated: 2/5 Jan 13, 2023 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene In the end The Old Way is minor Cage in a minor film, but lovers of Westerns and sleight-of-hand acting will find it a tolerable amusement. Rated: B- Jun 9, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Yep! It's an oater like a saddle fits a horse. Rated: C+ Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Susan Granger SSG Syndicate There's little originality in Carl W. Lucas's contrive, utterly predictable script, blandly directed by Brett Donowho. Don't bother with this dismal Western. Rated: 4/10 Mar 20, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

      Cathy P It was predictable and slow at times. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Disappointed It was like watching a very low budget movie with inexperienced actors. Best actor was the little girl. But who leaves a 12 year old to survive on her own and run a merchantile store by herself even during the wild west? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Kathleen W Very very slow. Nicholas Cage needs to hang it up. Too old. The little girl that played Brooke was very good. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review John F It was a good western. I like Nick Cage too, so it was fun seeing him in that role. The girl who played the daughter was very good. The movie was a bit predictable, but I enjoyed it! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Donna M Not your typical western, slow moving but I liked it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Phil As soon as I saw the unbelievably fake mustache on Cage in the first scene of the movie, I almost walked out…I should have! Terrible writing, terrible directing, terrible cast, and one of Nicolas Cages worst performance’s ever! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
