Austin Chronicle
Yes, The Old Way is at first glimpse merely a classic revenger, but it's also vintage low-key Cage, with that acid little twist that makes it all the more fascinating. - 63
Chicago Sun-Times
This is a revenge Western we’ve seen dozens of times before, and the villains aren’t nearly as intimidating and pitch-black evil as they need to be. The end result is a passably entertaining shoot-’em-up with very few surprises. - 61

The Western may not be entirely dead yet, but The Old Way is not exactly doing it any favors. - 38
