Description

"Nothing belongs to the dead, because the dead don't need anything. Only the living need to possess things. The living need food, water, shelter, clothes, family, money, land. But the dead... the dead have already been tended to. Once they're put in the ground, they have all they need. They're not selfish. I like the dead."

Not one, but TWO Nic Cage westerns?? You bet your ass.

The Old Way is so close to being amazing. I almost loved this movie. The premise is really interesting; Nic Cage plays a sociopath (or at least a near sociopath), who more or less unravels when his wife is murdered. And, his sweet little daughter is also a sociopath (or at least a near sociopath). That is a damn good premise and not one I've seen in a period setting. The script isn't quite sharp enough to achieve brilliance, but the concept is there, and that's more than enough for me.
