Hi friends, how are you all? I hope many of you are well. After a long time, I saw a great action movie from the Chinese industry. I have kept this movie in my wishlist to watch for a long time, but haven't seen it for a while. Finally got a long vacation, now I will watch several movies and share them with you. I will share some things about the movie that I saw today.
At the beginning of the movie, a group of people attack a place and kill everyone there. A child is shown trying to run away. The scene changes to a place where a businessman is loading his goods onto a car, a group of terrorists attacks and takes away all his money from the businessman, three of them walk towards the businessman and rescue the businessman from the terrorist group. Those three are the main characters of this movie, meaning the hero of this movie and the other two can be called the hero's associates or friends. This is how the movie started. At the beginning cool and interesting.
This movie is an action movie. But it would be wrong to say only action, there are several suspenseful scenes that you will like very much. This suspense can be seen in Chinese movies, which are liked by the audience. And the story of this movie is very beautiful, I can guarantee you that you will like it from the beginning to the end. This director has proved that such a beautiful movie can be made with such a small budget. The director did not have to use too much space or too many locations to present his events or stories. But the places or locations used are amazing.
Those who have worked in this movie, be it small characters or big characters, have presented their work very well. I liked everyone's performance. Especially in this movie, the action scenes of the hero have been presented, and I like them very much.
Those of you who have seen this movie will agree with me. For those who haven't seen it yet, if you like action movies, you can watch it if you want. In this movie, as you will get action scenes, you will get suspense and twists. All in all, a beautiful movie.

How would you like for your little daughter to be your personal assistant, or in this case, your sidekick? Great, right? Well, Colton Briggs(Nicolas Cage) wouldn't exactly agree with you.
I present to you "The old Way". A western movie starring Nicolas cage. Many of the movies I've seen him in were either action or drama but today, I'd be making a review of a western movie acted by him.
Colten Briggs is a retired gunslinger whose life was changed by a woman, his wife. He was merciless when it came to killing and never took note of the people he had hurt in the process.
Twenty years later, after starting up a family, it was time for him to pay for all the atrocities he had caused. Like they say, "karma is a bitch".
His wife asked him to walk his daughter (Brooke) to school as he was never really a constant in her life and with so much reluctance, he finally agreed.
Brooke's teacher wasn't around as she had taken ill and so Colten had no other option but to take his daughter with him to his store. She sits quietly at the corner and observes all the things going on.
As a very smart girl, Brooke figured that her mom didn't come to school to get her. Even if school was closed, why didn't her mom come over to the store to ask for her. This was when the action began.
Ruth Briggs is confronted at home by four men who claim they were missing. She senses suspicion and tries to run away. The men found their way to capture her and she is murdered in cold blood. The killers leave the message "I owe you more" written with Ruth's blood
Colten is so pained. His wife was murdered by someone he can't even remember. His acquaintance, Marshal Jarrett, didn't want to disclose the identity of the killers, saying that "he's protecting a killer from another killer".
Marshal Jarrett assures Colten that he would take care of the men that murdered Ruth in a legal way. He went further to say that there is no room for vengeance as long as Brooke was alive. That statement prompted Colten to almost kill his daughter but his calm and coordinated daughter made him shrug off the thought.
With his daughter by his side, he set out on a revenge journey. The murderers lured him their way. But like I always say, "going for revenge with so much anger wouldn't end well". In the process, Colten was murdered by Clark -the son of a man Colten had killed two decades earlier.
In Clark's ecstasy and satisfaction, he got shot. By whom? Wouldn't you want to find out?
I got to find out that Brooke was so much like her father. They had no emotions or they were 'born dead on the inside' like they put it.
A scene that stood out for me and also got me laughing was when Colten told his daughter to cry in the middle of the road to stop a bypasser so that they could hijack his horse. Brooke went "maah maah my baby, my baby" with no drop of year on her face.That was just so hilarious. How would a nine-year-old-looking child have a baby? Her mission was accomplished either way.
I actually didn't expect Colten to die(the regular movie plot) but there was a twist when he died. He wasn't immortal after all😅.
Cast
Nicolas Cage as Colton Briggs
Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Brooke
Dean Armstrong as Clark
Kerry Knuppe as Ruth Briggs
Nick Searcy as Marshal Jarrett.
Personally, I loved this movie. It depicted the one thing I like about western movies which is their dressing . I like seeing cowboy hats, the shotguns and the horses . Western movies aren't complete without the horses! It's the first western movie that I've taken my time to watch, all thanks to the cine TV weekly prompt whose deadline I didn't meet up with.
If you're in the mood for some action and twist, then you really should check out this movie. It's a 2023 movie so it won't be so far-fetched.

Opinión Personal
Cuando era niña siempre acompañaba a mi papa a ver televisión, desde boxeo, carreras de caballos, carreras de autos, lucha libre y por supuesto lo que más me gustaba película de Western de Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Kevin Costner entre otros, había una en especial de John Wayne llamada Mas Corazón que Odio, no me cansaba de verla, pero nunca había visto una de Nicolás Cage quien es un actor que se ha destacado por su brillante actuación en todas las películas que ha interpretado, romántico o violento, sin embargo quiero decir que en mi opinión en THE OLD WAY, la trama estuvo fatal, vi los trailer y ansiaba ver esta película, pero no conseguía los subtítulos hasta que la vi, comienza muy bien, pero a medida que se desarrolla uno va perdiendo interés y lo que quiere es que termine, porque ya tú conoces el final.
No soy crítica de cine pero considero que es un drama sin emoción, hasta la última escena, ni la expresión de Nicolás le quedo bien, se le veía falso no expresaba nada, parecía que forzaba los ojos a permanecer cerrados, entiendo que su personaje era un hombre que estaba muerto por dentro como él decía, y que no le importaba la vida, pero bueno de esa forma lo vi yo, a la final no todo fue malo, la película tiene unas cuantas escenas que me gustaron, y son precisamente de la niña (RYAN KIERA ARMOSTRONG) muy buena actuación, cuando ella tenía que llorar sin saber cómo, me hizo reír, cuándo hablo con su padre y le dijo que cuando murió su mama, ella sintió como si ella hubiera muerto, mostro un sentimiento de dolor, pienso que el ir tras los asesinos de su madre sirvió para unirlos como padre e hija, porque en realidad él no la conocía a pesar de vivir con ella. Bueno amigos espero vean esta Película y coménteme que les pareció, Besos y Abrazos.
Hasta la próxima publicación, Dios los bendiga.

Personal Opinion
When I was a child I always went with my dad to watch TV, from boxing, horse racing, car racing, wrestling and of course what I liked the most Western movies of Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Kevin Costner among others, there was a special one of John Wayne called More Heart than Hate, I never got tired of watching it, but I had never seen one of Nicolas Cage who is an actor who has stood out for his brilliant performance in all the movies he has played, I saw the trailer and I was anxious to see this movie, but I couldn't get the subtitles until I saw it, it starts off very well, but as it develops you lose interest and you just want it to end, because you already know the ending.
I am not a film critic but I consider it a drama without emotion, until the last scene, not even the expression of Nicolas was good, he looked fake, he did not express anything, it seemed that he forced his eyes to remain closed, I understand that his character was a man who was dead inside as he said, and that he did not care about life, but well that's the way I saw it, in the end not everything was bad, the film has a few scenes that I liked, and they are precisely of the girl (RYAN KIERA ARMOSTRONG) very good acting, when she had to cry without knowing how, it made me laugh, when she talked to her father and told him that when her mother died, she felt as if she had died, she showed a feeling of pain, I think that going after the murderers of her mother served to unite them as father and daughter, because in reality he did not know her even though he lived with her. Well friends I hope you watch this movie and let me know what you think, Kisses and Hugs.
Until the next publication, God bless you.
