    • Trivia
      The armorer on the shoot was Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was blamed for a number of unsafe activities by the assistant director and Cage and was nearly thrown off the set. She was the armorer on Rust (which was shot after The Old Way in 2021) and is being investigated for the death of Halyna Hutchins and injury to Joel Souza on that set due to unsafe firearm handling.
    • Goofs
      When Ruth ran to hide in the barn she dropped a crossbar to "lock" the doors behind her. The barn doors slid open rather than swung open, making the crossbar useless.

    No. Just No.
    I enjoy Westerns and I can tolerate some pretty cheap ones on Prime or Crackle too but this was not engaging. As others have said it is a walking cliche revenge flick but with stiff moments and bad or bizarre dialogue at times and veers into outright cringey on a couple of occasions. Wait until you get to the "fear" speech and devil speech. Cage isn't very good in it, "me psychopath, me tough, me disinterested, me no speak much" is a bit boring and has zero range. The addition of a potentially autistic or sociopathic child could have been interesting if the dialogue and plot were better, but it ain't. Up against an Oscar winner, Nick Searcy is the standout performance in the film but he was given little to work with. The kid has an acting future but her character just didn't engage me. Empathy disorders will do that. If you can get it for free give it a try but don't pay for it.
