The scant action scenes are decently staged, but what holds this film back is the continual drop of long monologues. They happen several times and not only do they slow down the momentum, but they don't add anything to the narrative.

There's virtually nothing about this movie that's original and it might have been a bit more bearable if it stuck to Western tropes instead of dramatic monologues.… Expand

The dynamic between Cage and the girl is good, but that can barely do half the job overall, because the rest of the cast doesn't help much, and as I said, with such a mediocre script, there are only certain places to go, and in this case it all leads to disappointment.… Expand

The Old Way has decent technical credits, but it lacks a personality. A western starring Nicolas Cage should be a lot more interesting.
