Leave your thoughts about The Old Way.
| ObserverRex ReedThe 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. |
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerYes, 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. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThis 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. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayUltimately, 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. |
| Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpWhen Donowho brings The Old Way back to the well-trod ground of old Westerns, it’s just plain old. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichThe first part of the problem is that Donowho’s competent but uncompelling oater doesn’t have enough fresh meat on its bones to fill out its Western cosplay. |
| RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiThe Western may not be entirely dead yet, but The Old Way is not exactly doing it any favors. |
| Screen RantPatrice WitherspoonDonowho’s western tale follows a typical formula, but there are plenty of laughs and smiles to be had throughout this familiar story. |
| EmpireJordan KingThough 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. |
| The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe Nicolas Cage aficionado carries two hopes into each of the 59-year-old actor’s new films. The first – not often met, truth be told – is that it will be good. And the second, failing that, is that it will be mad. Alas, this thin and lumpy western is neither. |
