This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How many times do I have to warn those guys? Princess Padme isn’t worth fighting over. Even Darth Vader threw himself in a river of lava to burn the memories away.

The scene is the Old West. Take one homely looking woman and two average-looking men and throw them in a cabin together. Now GO! That’s your scene. It’s improv at it’s finest. Actually, that’s sarcasm. Basically everybody just stares longingly at each other and remembers how it used to be. Sigh.

Did I say that man #1 used to be her fiance while man #2 is covered with gunshot wounds. Did I say that this is Natalie Portman we’re talking about? Hrck! I think it’s happening again! Hrck! Swallow! I think I got it.

And did I mention that man #1 went off to war and was presumed dead on account of him never writing but he couldn’t ’cause he was one of those prisoners of war in one of those camps and didn’t get out until the Civil War was called on account of rain? Isn’t that how it all went down? Oh, the angst! What’s a princess from another galaxy stuck in the Old West to do?

Well, man #2 got shot up good by the bad guys and the gangs on their way to finish off the job. Since we all know that a woman needs a man around to protect them (that’s the movie talkin’, not me), Princess is off to lay a guilt trip on man #1. “Get outta my face,” he says and then quickly follows her. Oh, the angst! She really loved him before presuming him dead and running off with some guy to have his baby. On the Old West. In a run-down cabin. Just because it’s the Old West, do we have to live in a run-down cabin? I reckun so. Hand me my gun.

As you may have suspected, I’m not a huge fan of westerns (or Natalie Portman). She’s nice enough on screen, but I just don’t see her as the type to have two gruff men fightin’ over her. There’s plenty fish in the dusty Old West, boys! They’re just floppin’ round and gasping for air!

This movie seemed plumb full of devices fixin’ to tear you up and man-i-pu-late your feelings. They don’t rightly work, but there’s all over the place.… Expand

J’aime bien le titre qui promet beaucoup, un titre évidemment difficile à traduire en français sinon que par… « Jane a un flingue… et ça va chier ! » et puis on aime bien sûr beaucoup Natalie, a fortiori dans un western qui tire sur la corde…J’aime bien le titre qui promet beaucoup, un titre évidemment difficile à traduire en français sinon que par… « Jane a un flingue… et ça va chier ! » et puis on aime bien sûr beaucoup Natalie, a fortiori dans un western qui tire sur la corde… féministe ?

Que nenni… ou si peu, hélas ! Car en vérité, ce n’est certainement pas un film sur Calamity Jane ! c’est juste une calamité, à savoir un western dodo à deux de tension à dormir debout. Le réalisateur Gavin O’Connor est coutumier du fait et via un scénar déjà faiblard, il n’en tire qu’un film plus poussif encore ! c’est dire si on se fait chier à mort là-dedans…

On aura reconnu dans le rôle du « méchant » un certain Ewan McGregor… pas convaincant du tout. On ne tient bien entendu pas jusqu’au bout même si cette mollesse indescriptible a au moins un avantage : la mise en scène est calme et posée, y compris dans les (très) rares scènes d’action… qui couvrent à peine le bruit de mes ronflements.… Expand
