But I can\u2019t and won\u2019t recommend it in good conscience.<\/p>\n<p>Just imagine that critic\u2019s reaction to \u201cThe Old Way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming western, debuting Jan. 6, 2023 in theaters, stars Nicolas Cage as a reformed gunslinger trying to raise his 12-year-old daughter (Ryan Kiera Armstrong). When an outlaw gang threatens his family, Cage\u2019s character schools his daughter in the art of self-defense, and that means Firearms Training 101.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Old Way\u201d co-stars Nick Searcy (\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/terror-on-the-prairie-montana-shoot\/\">Terror on the Prairie<\/a>,\u201d \u201cGosnell\u201d), Clint Howard (\u201cApollo 13,\u201d \u201cFar and Away\u201d) and Noah Le Gros (\u201cA Score to Settle\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>The film continues the western genre\u2019s quiet resurgence, given recent oaters like \u201cPrairie,\u201d \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/dead-for-dollar-review\/\">Dead for a Dollar<\/a>\u201d and the modern western \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/kevin-costner-fox-nation-yellowstone-conservatives\/\">Yellowstone<\/a>\u201d series.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also trafficking in a topic that causes many critics to recoil.

Groups like Everytown for Gun Safety use advisory boards to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/miss-sloane-review\/\">tweak scripts<\/a> in development. That, in turn, ensures more gun control narratives enter pop culture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/hollywood-virtue-signaling-march-lives-guns\/\"><strong>RELATED: DOES HOLLYWOOD PREFER VIRTUE SIGNALING OVER GUN CONTROL?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Newly installed Disney CEO Bob Iger just confirmed his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2022\/12\/07\/disney-ceo-bob-iger-those-of-us-in-positions-to-influence-laws-shape-culture-have-an-extra-responsibility-to-push-gun-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">company\u2019s commitment to doing the same<\/a> across its massive content landscape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose of us who are in positions to affect change, whether it\u2019s by influencing laws of shaping culture or supporting organizations on the frontlines, I think we have an extra responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Old Way\u201d debuts on VOD Jan. 13, one week after its theatrical bow.
