Jane Got a Gun

Jane has got a gun. Great then maybe she can use it to put those of us that took the time to watch this movie out of our misery. Not a good western at all as Portman is poorly cast as Jane. Boring and slow which are bad things when watching a western. Because when done right they can be a very exciting movie expierience.

The Western genre is one that has struggled to find its own two feet to stand on in recent years. _Jane Got a Gun_ certainly does not buck that trend. Also I'm pretty sure not a single one of these Wild West folks was American. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

**A woman's preparation to fight the outlaws.** Probably on underrated film, but for me, I'm sure it is an underrated film. From the director of 'Warrior', another excellent film to include in his filmography. A well written screenplay, but that's where the problem is according to those did not like it. Because it was kind of 'all's well, ends well' story. That does not mean it is full of cliché, maybe they expected the film to be more harsh and violent like most of the high profile western films do. Sorry to those who did not enjoy it, but I did. It was nothing like only for men, but still R rated. Yep, I understand the last 10-15 minutes was so intentional, so what, the story wrapped perfectly in a right way. I must appreciate the cast, particularly the lead two actors, Natalie Por

Them Bishop boys are coming for you? You don't need a gunslinger. You need a goddamn regiment. Jane Got a Gun is directed by Gavin O'Connor and collectively written by Brian Duffield, Anthony Tambakis and Joel Edgerton. It stars Natalie Portman, Joel Edgerton, Ewan McGregor, Noah Emmerich, Boyd Holbrook and Rodrigo Santoro. Music is by Marcello De Francisci and Lisa Gerrard and cinematography is by Mandy Walker. Jane Hammond (Portman) has to turn to her ex lover, Dan Frost (Edgerton), for help when it's revealed that the notorious Bishop gang are heading her way in search of her husband Bill (Emmerich). It's going to be one of those films more talked about for what it could have been than what it is. Changes in production staff were unbound, from director, writer, photographer and

**_Bleak Western with Natalie Portman, Joel Edgerton and Ewan McGregor_** This was shot in the spring of 2013, but not released until January, 2016, which shows that it sat on the shelf for a while. There were other production issues during the first year of conception in 2012, such as cast & crew changes. The original director walked off a day before shooting was scheduled after a three-day standoff with the key producer. I suppose we should be happy that someone cared enough to even give it a final edit and release. Forgetting all that, it’s comparable to Westerns like “Sweetwater” and “The Proposition,” but isn’t as effective, although it’s superior to “South of Heaven, West of Hell.” Some viewers complain about the constant flashbacks, which they found confusing, but I didn’t hav

Rated 6/7. Jane is the kind of woman you admire and would probably want to know as a friend, especially in school playgrounds when you were a kid. Yes some people might say this is a bit of a feminist movie, but in my opinion, women with guns are a well-trodden traditional role in the rough western category, and Natalie does it with real credit. She is not afraid of getting out the big guns and shooting anything in sight, especially men that hassle her. She's good friends with two very tough looking hardcore cool guys. One who gets shot up at the beginning and the other one who comes to save her who's an old boyfriend. It turns out, oh, I can't give it away because I don't want to give any spoilers. I actually think this is a pretty good movie, and Natalie Portman is always better than
