Not badDescent writing, great acting. It’s low budget, but the acting and writing make it an ok movie. It’s not as “western” as I thought it would be. It’s an indie kinda movie, so don’t expect much and you’ll probably like it..Score: 3/5
Good Story, Rendered BadlyI'm not sure what all the fuss is over this movie. 5 stars? Hardly. 3 at best for the nice twist at the end, but that's it. The story wasn't awful, even though it dragged on at first. What makes it suffer is the unlikable actors they chose. Tim Blake Nelson? Seriously? Why in the world they picked this goofball of a nerd to play the lead, I'll never know. Not to mention, his acting was robotic and unconvincing to me. I'm sorry, but he's forever going to be Delmer from O Brother Where Art Thou. That kind of role is what he's best at. Also, Stephen Dorff was your predicable villan, as usual. You know how it's all going to pan out; what he's going to say and do before it happens. It's a decent rental, but I wouldn't buy it or watch it again..Score: 3/5

Not a western, but a tribute!If you squint long enough, you might start to look like the titular character. But you also might start to see an original spin on the Old-West drama that may be the best in a decade. This is not a Michael Bay testosterone flick, and, out of generosity, I’ll call the pace “considered”—but it serves-up tension so subtly, that as you’re drawn into Henry’s story, it starts to feel like a half-thriller in a manner reminiscent of that frontier-masterpiece, “Unforgiven.” Yes… some of the plot lines are predictable… but if you’re watching a Western without expecting at least a little of this, you’re off-genre. Instead, Old Henry offers you a new, slightly unexpected, way to connect to the myth of the frontier and the outlaw, and does so without ever over-reaching or underselling the idea..Score: 5/5
Modern Day TwinTim resembles Mr McCarty in statue and face shape so much as to add value to this story. The tin type photo that everyone uses and the one used in the movie shows McCarty to be right handed but I once read that the tin type wa actually reversed and Billy the Kid was left handed. A lot of storys as to what really happened that night in Fort Sumner have changed and been left to interpetations over the years. Accolades to the acting , the story and the set production for taking us back in time.Score: 4/5

A True Western, thick with strong characters and great actionIt is rare for me to write a movie review, however, this one is worth it. The characters are true to the quote that “life is suffrage”, endemic during earlier times without our modern day conveniences. While the landscape in this movie is tempered, the characters are convincing and jarring and action scenes spring upon you like a hurricane. Sit back when you have some peace and enjoy this movie triumph. Kudos to the lead as well. Great work..Score: 5/5
