Review of Old Henry

Old Henry (2021)
3/10
Am I the on;y reviewer who watched this movie?
10 October 2021
The first warning sign was that Trace Adkins was in this movie. He had a small role and didn't talk so much so he didn't hurt this one. I took the chance watching it because of the high marks it had (7.8 out of 10 at the time I am writing). What a mistake!

Steven Dorff is the only believable role. Everyone else failed. The script wasn't good to begin with, and the lines sounded like a second to last dress rehearsal. It has a bit of action but it was sparse.

The real problem is that it seems someone watched "Unforgiven" and decided that if they made it they would use a really well known outlaw. That is about all the thought that went into this. Obviously they didn't spend money getting a good scripts and actors were mediocre.

The Unforgiven was a masterpiece whose mostly boredom was played to great dramatic effect making the end well worth the wait. The contrast was sharp and biting. It made you spend most of the movie plotting a bad review but after the cpntrasting action you left ready to level the house of anyone who has wronged you and cheer gleefully. This movie does none of that.

Don't be fooled, this movie is a 3.
