What is here is enjoyable if taken on its own terms, much of Jane Got a Gun playing out with a 1940s or '50s Hollywood lan I found more than satisfying.

Is it possible that Natalie Portman can't act?

There's hardly a scene you watch without wondering, and doubting, if Ramsay would have done it quite this way.

It's all perfectly passable, but rather perfunctory ...

This was a troubled production. Scottish director Lynne Ramsay quit days before shooting began and there were late changes made to the cast. In certain respects, the replacement director Gavin O'Connor has done an impressive job.

A very moderate adventure.

Audience Reviews for Jane Got a Gun
-
Jan 11, 2017Jane Got a Gun is so wholly dull that it squanders solid performances from Natalie Portman and Joel Edgerton. The film has a whisper thin plot that somehow manages to get convoluted, using frequent flashbacks and quiet explanations to fill the audience in on large amounts of backstory and while the film at least attempts to be a feminist take on the western genre, it ends up undoing this entire approach by the film's not too exciting final showdown. Jane Got a Gun is the western equivalent of fast food. Quick, dirty and not quite satisfying. Rating: 50Bradley J Super Reviewer

Sep 04, 2016The 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.Gimly M Super Reviewer

May 22, 2016A modern western with a strong female lead, yet old-fashioned sensibilities and story, Jane Got A Gun is hardly an atypical Western. That is not to say that it is not effective, it certainly is, and there's a slow-build and methodical unraveling of the story that produces a very atmospheric and brooding tone. The ending was a bit too neatly done, yet the film has messy relationship dynamics and a sort of pragmatism that many Westerns are missing. Portman's character proves to be particularly compelling, and her characterization is certainly the strongest of the film. In the end, it really doesn't break new ground, yet tells a familiar story in an unfamiliar way. 3.5/5 StarsJeffrey M Super Reviewer
