The Old Way Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
The Old Way is at first glimpse merely a classic revenger, but it's also vintage low-key Cage, with that acid little twist that makes it all the more fascinating.
New York Times
Calum Marsh
It's a distinctly low-effort affair across the board, from the simplistic plotting (our heroes chase the bad guys, then find them) to Cage's performance...
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The Old Way is a cold, uncompromising Western that tracks down suspense and tension by moseying down a conventional narrative trail.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Donowho's competent but uncompelling oater doesn't have enough fresh meat on its bones to fill out its Western cosplay.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
Perhaps if more Westerns were being made these days, The Old Way-which is more of a half-baked mistake than a total disaster-might have been a little palatable or at least easier to forgive.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
The Old Way sputters to a conclusion we saw coming a mile down the road.
Observer
Rex Reed
When it comes to re-writing the rules of Hollywood Westerns, they don't exactly break new ground, but they do prove the old ways still work best.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Consider it a bump in the road of Cage's long-overdue return-to-the-mainstream resurgence.
Spectrum Culture
Miyako Pleines
A tame western version of John Wick with Cage replacing Keanu and the dog replaced by a daughter who learns how to shoot a pistol in 20 minutes. Maybe, in this drab month of January, that's all we need to get by.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
Granted, so many westerns have been made due to being notably cheaper to make, but while this may be a step above a lot of DTV Cage films, it still feels like it's coming from a lower tier of filmmaker as far as creating an authentic western look.
In Review Online
Oliver Parker
Thanks to an anonymous set design and too dry narrative, the film never realizes an immersive viewing experience, with its setting left to feel more like mere window dressing than a meaningful engagement with the genre.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
Even still, it's not a complete failure, and those who take a look at this work just to see Cage in a cowboy hat riding a horse will certainly get their money's worth. There's also a hint of charm to the piece, so take that for what it's worth.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
Take a bit of "Unforgiven," a dash of "True Grit," throw in a sleepwalking Nicolas Cage and you get "The Old Way," a bland and at times rather dull western that breaks no new ground.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Ultimately, this is a movie with real personality, about a man coming to realize with no small amazement that he has an actual legacy to pass on - even if it's a grim one.
Collider
Robert Taylor
The Old Way just feels too formulaic to leave any sort of impact. And though there are a few instances where it feints at pushing the boundaries of the genre, it ends up pulling back because its short runtime and limited scope.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
It's just so bland and cheap-looking.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
Nicolas Cage phones in a performance which is too serious for the rousing shoot-'em-up western this wants to be at times and not nearly serious enough for the underwritten Unforgiven backstory that slows everything to a crawl.
Decider
John Serba
The Old Way's six-shooter is just firing blanks.
North Shore Movies
Sean Burns
Gropes around at some promising ideas. But the movie is cut too close to the bone, pulling back to meat-and-potatoes genre beats whenever things threaten to get really interesting.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This simple Western ultimately doesn't have terribly much to say, but Cage's hard-as-an-anvil performance, his chemistry with young Armstrong, and some playful dialogue make it worth a look.
