Old Henry

Old Henry is a western set on an isolated farm, where a widowed farmer named Henry and his son Wyatt cautiously take in a wounded stranger who is carrying a satchel full of cash. Their uneasy arrangement is broken when armed men arrive claiming to be law enforcement and demanding the money. Unsure who is telling the truth, Henry finds himself defending his homestead against a siege, and in the process displays a startling skill with a gun that makes everyone around him question who he really is.

The film was released in 2021 and runs 99 minutes. It was written and directed by Potsy Ponciroli, marking his first feature as director, ahead of Greedy People, Motor City and The Rescue. Tim Blake Nelson leads as Henry, with Scott Haze as Curry, Gavin Lewis as Wyatt, Stephen Dorff as Ketchum, Trace Adkins as Al and Richard Speight Jr. as Dugan. Michael Hagerty and Shannon Houchins produced, and 91 crew members are credited.

Made for about 2 million dollars, the film drew a 7.3 rating on IMDb from roughly 45,000 votes and a matching 7.3 on TMDB from far fewer voters, indicating a small but consistent audience response. A critics' rating of 7.7 from 72 reviews places professional assessments slightly above the audience scores.
