Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Old Way (2023)

Colton Briggs (Cage) is a former gun for hire who has now settled into domesticity. He's got a wife, a piece of land, a shop, and a daughter -- in that order. When he's tracked down by a guy with a grudge, he takes his daughter with him to take care of the situation.

It's interesting only because Cage almost can't stop himself from being interesting. Otherwise, the only thing it's got going for it is the novel device of the daughter being a sociopath who needs to be taught how to mimic human emotion.
