Westerns look like a dying breed. Only every now and then you get another western so it's waiting for a good one. Old Henry is one of those. Not very fast paced but certainly worth watching. No huge names either, although Tim Blake Nelson was perfect to play his character. The cinematography was good, the acting was more than good, and the story has a little twist that was clever. Definitely worth your time if you like westerns.

Instant Classic Western
What great acting Tim Blake Nelson , wow .
Stephen Dorff's bad guy is perfect .
This is such a great movie loved every minute of it .
If you like westerns watch this !
Par for the course
I saw someone describe this as a classic; I can only think that they're easily pleased. It's a typical low budget western, no more and no less than that. The plot feels influenced by STRAW DOGS but without the Peckinpah gravitas or depth. The performances are indifferent apart from Stephen Dorff who does a good villain. Action is okay and twist ending unsurprising. Par for the course, really.
