The Old Way Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeat9 november 2025My quick rating - 4.8/10. I figured I'd give something a bit different a try. Westerns aren't my typical go-to. But this keeps popping up on the Firecubes Amazon banner, so why not? It was pretty easy to pick out the star of the show, and it was NOT Nicolas Cage. He did have a bit of a bounce back recently with a couple of decent flicks, so I was hoping it was just a spell of poor choices, but this one is mediocre at absolute best. I swear, it seems that he can act so well in some movies and turn around and be horrendous in the next. If it weren't for Ryan Kiera Armstrong playing his daughter, who ends up in the middle of a wild west revenge story, this would've been far worse. I still enjoyed it enough due to her wisecracking along the way as her aging gunslinger father is faced with some kid from his past, whom he had shot the father of years before. Dean Armstrong plays the man seeking revenge, and he should hit his real-life daughter up for some pointers on how to command the screen when he is on it. Production-wise wise this one looked just fine with the scenery adding a nice touch to the realism. Unfortunately, the writing was not on that same level since it is so full of cliches throughout that at times you may wonder if it is a parody. It didn't help you to take it seriously when our evil villain, out for vengeance, looked straight out of a fraternity house afterparty. The whole thing moves at a slow pace to a predictable ending, so don't expect any twists here, just a run-of-the-mill western flick that didn't put any effort into bringing us anything new or memorable to the table. As far as the next line of this, I would save your money and wait for free. My rating may be quite generous. If I were to watch it again, it may not be as high. Oh, if you really need a recent Nicolas Cage fix, check out The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
- Kevin Ward4 juli 2025The Old Way is a western revenge tale that while it’s mostly cliché, it makes for a fairly entertaining watch. Nic Cage outshines pretty much here as the infamous Colton Briggs who has hung up holsters and settled down to be a family man. But when a band of outlaws comes across his homestead, he’s forced to pick up those holsters one more time and bring his young daughter along for the ride. As a classic western revenge tale, like I said before, it works fairly well. The final showdown underwhelms however and kind of brings the whole film down a notch. But I was actually quite enjoying the journey up until that point. There’s a story element that suggests Colton’s daughter (and potentially Colton himself) is on the autism spectrum. It feels rather ham-fisted, though and not really woven into the story with much care. Cage is always watchable in my opinion and that holds true here. It’s not anything to go out of your way to watch, but if you need a time killer, you could do worse.
- TexasWolf5 januari 2025This is a good movie even though it is predictable from the very begining. Ryan Kiera Armstrong did a great performance as Brooke Briggs out performing Nicholas Cage by far. I would like to see a part 2 in a couple of years about Brooke Briggs she is a lot like her father and I think that would make a good movie. I would recommend this movie to any Western Fan.
