The 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…
Kevflix And ChillJan 7, 2023Happy birthday to my favorite actor and one of my favorite people alive, Nicolas Cage!!! 🥳🎉 I love this man to death, and I decided to celebrate by seeing his new movie in a theater. Was tons of fun. For the movie itself, it was good. Nothin special, but it was…
LordGunnarTheDudeJan 5, 2023Nicolas Cage scholars might quibble with the promotional claim that Brett Donowho’s “The Old Way” is the actor’s “first traditional Western” — a choice of words that’s careful not to step on the spurs of neo-genre fare like “Butcher’s Crossing” and “Prisoners of the…

STARRING: NIC FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKIIIIIIING!!!!! CAGE (THE COPPOLA SAGA) Nicolas Cage’s True Grit-ish is a shrug of a movie anchored by a solid performance from Cage as this beaten-up, somewhat stern man who seeks to seek revenge after a band of outlaws pulls him back into the…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineMar 26, 2026poor Nicolas looks old & tired, he really doesn't want to be here, you can easily tell. like "blink if we should free you from this" bad.
shookoneJan 14, 2023“I like watching you do most things” -Colton Briggs- The Old Way, and please excuse this pun, is “The Old Way” of storytelling. The Old Way is straightforward and predictable, riddled with tired cliches and cheesy dialogue. There are no surprises and it’s brimming with…

First 2023 release for me and it’s ridiculous mostly in the worst ways. The tone is incoherent and inconsistent in this one. I feel like it was trying to be comedic in a lot of ways (including a silly-looking Nick Cage shooting outlaws that let out wilhelm screams not five…
NickJan 7, 2023true grit 2: the mandy way i get the feeling nick cage agreed to this role just to mark "traditional western" off his bingo card, but ryan kiera armstrong slayed

- Natalie dislikedThe Old Way
This movie is like a train wreck in slow motion. The writing? Total disaster zero originality, zero depth. The dialogue is boring and predictable….Bad acting, poor choice of soundtrack/music. Expected ending. No excitement during the whole movie. Skip this one, trust me!!! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
Vince is "meh" onThe Old WayHit or miss with Cage everytime🤦🏾♂️5.5/10 •Production/Set design was ok, waste of a great cast •Poorly written but made me a fan of Noah Le Gros(James McCallister) & Shiloh Fernandez •Only highlight was seeing Clint Howard & Nick Searcy(Justified) That 🎥 when he wakes her up👌🏾
Garmelie dislikedThe Old WayThis pissed me off. Cage is a zombie who refuses to change his facial expression, the “story” is boring, and while punching down on child actors isn’t subjective a cardboard cutout would’ve been more entertaining. The list goes on but like Cage I can’t be bothered. 1/5
- Rachel is "meh" onThe Old Way
4/10. Completely mediocre watch. Forgettable and cringey dialogue. A couple of the monologues felt never ending. I did really like Brooke’s character, though. I hope to see that actress in more films in the future.
Popsiclebandit likedThe Old Wayhated it at first. if this was anyone else and not nic cage it'd been way better truly. hes a plastic man with plastic emotions. his daughter absolutely CRUSHES as does main villain. ended up liking it overall
Shark likedThe Old WaySlightly better than mediocre western. Nick Cage is enjoyable with some decent supporting characters, but Ryan Kiera Armstrong as his stoic daughter may have stolen the movie.
- Stanley Spadowski dislikedThe Old Way
This is slow, poorly written, poorly acted and boring. The sets are poorly done, there are continuity issues. I could find nothing redeemable about this movie.
Sierra likedThe Old WayGood if you want something to throw on but I felt the story, dialogue, and characters could have been developed better. Felt like the story was rushed through
Stefan dislikedThe Old WayThe soundtrack sounded like it’d be royalty-free music in a youtube video, and the acting was comparable. Nick cage is the only decent part

The revenge narrative may be worn rope-thin by archives of forgotten shoot-’em-ups, but Mr. Cage and director Donowho pull enough sub-themes out of old Bud Boetticher movies to inject the kind of suspense and true grit that still works.

This is a revenge Western we’ve seen dozens of times before, and the villains aren’t nearly as intimidating and pitch-black evil as they need to be. The end result is a passably entertaining shoot-’em-up with very few surprises.
