 Old Henry Review

 
Successful actor Tim Blake Nelson leads Potsy Ponciroli's horse opera "Old Henry," which is one of the best songs from Clint Eastwood who won the Oscar award "Unforgiven." "Unforgivable" and "Old Henry" share many similarities. In "Unforgiven" (1992), the gunman William Munny (Eastwood) went straight, bought a farm, and sat down. He too had taken control of himself. His wife, Claudia, had two children. He made his living by raising pigs. Unfortunately, Claudia succumbed to smallpox. Later, diseases plagued his pigs. Leaving his children to fend for himself, Munny grabbed his gun and walked away with enough money to change his fate. Similarly, Nelson plays an equally cruel border. When she dropped her six pistols, she settled down, was beaten, and gave birth to a son. Moreover, like William Munny, Henry McCarthy (Tim Blake Nelson of "O, Brother, Where Are You") has lost his wife to tuberculosis, a disease often referred to as 'eating.' As a single parent, McCarthy has struggled to raise her son on a farm. Interestingly, before he turned to farming, McCarthy was a famous striker, who was shot dead and reportedly killed in the Arizona Territory in 1881. Ever since he cheated on death, McCarthy has been exhausted as a farmer. No one really knows who Henry is, except for his brother-in-law, Al (Trace Adkins of "The Outsider"), his closest neighbor and surviving relative. All in all, "Unforgiven" and "Old Henry" paint a bleak picture of borderline life. There is nothing about the depiction of the Old West in any film that can be described as glamorous. Farming continued from dawn until dusk. My back hurt, and I was devastated. Disease infected humans and animals. "Unforgivable" and "Old Henry" seem incredibly true. Violence erupts suddenly, often deadly, heroic or criminal who does not adhere to strict rules of fair play. Who wants to play the same role when his life hangs in the balance?

"The Old Henry" took place in the Oklahoma Territory in 1906. Our character learns that no man is safe to look after, even on an isolated farm on the border. Cleverly, before we met Henry McCarthy, writer and director Ponciroli introduced the criminals. Sheriff Ketchum (Stephen Dorff of "Blade") and his deputies tracked down the thieves with a stack of bills. Living up to his surname, Ketchum catches one of the thieves. They beat the unfortunate man mercilessly for information and cut down a tree with his body. Before they could be strangled, Ketchum strangled her, using a rope to hang her. You will hate Ketchum because it is clever, bad on the bone. The strange thing is that he can have a bad conversation if he meets someone. While eating the grain, he plays with the wood. In addition to this joke, Ketchum is recording a dove! Ketchum and the company injured Curry (Scott Haze of "Midnight Special"), but then lost his trail. It turns out that Henry McCarthy found Curry while out on a ride. Undoubtedly, our hero takes this traveler and his bag full of money back home. After that, he strikes her on the bed so that she does not fall down and opens her wound. Curry blushes and attacks McCarthy's son Wyatt (Gavin Lewis of "Maximum Ride"), but our hero surprises Curry and faints. Later, he pulls a bullet out of a criminal's chest. As soon as he worked closely with Curry, McCarthy watched with suspicion as Ketchum and the company rode into his place. Armed with six firearms, McCarthy emerges from his balcony and denies seeing any injured people. Before Ketchum and his deputies withdraw, you can feel the tension between the two stubborn enemies. Ketchum and McCarthy are set to clash, and only the savvy will survive. In particular, Ketchum withdrew his initial recognition because he did not like McCarthy's handling of the pistol. Later, he explained to his deputies that McCarthy did not hold a shotgun like any detective had ever seen him.

"Old Henry" raises serious doubts and tensions ahead of the inevitable debate and ends his violent rage with an explosion. Basically, in the event of a domestic attack, our hero protects his property, protects a stranger, and keeps his son Wyatt alive. By prediction, since McCarthy is clearly not an ordinary farmer, we learn that Ketchum may not be a real lawyer as he claims. No one cuts anyone slowly when the shooting starts. "Old Henry" deserves as a space, with white hats, a clash of titans, with no opponent descending. For example, when one of Ketchum's deputies crawls under the house to shoot up, McCarthy pulls out a varmant with repeated blows of his double-barreled rifle. Yes, some miracles will be more spectacular than others, but no one comes out of this unscathed mêlée as a pile of flying lead fills the air. Tim Blake Nelson proves to be a powerful force in the midst of this nonsense shooting, and Stephen Dorff is unforgettable as McCarthy's vicious enemy. Given the low budget in Tennessee, "Old Henry" is able to look as memorable and authentic as some of Hollywood's leading operas, the twentieth century horses, such as "Forgiven."
