A grim but well-acted western with Natalie Portman and Ewan McGregor as you've not seen them before. Slow in places, but has the obligatory comeuppance for the bad guys in the end.

With a title like this, you’d expect Jane to be a kick-ass gunslinger. Not the case.

Not the case. It’s set in 1870s New Mexico, where a woman (Natalie Portman) pays her ex-lover (Joel Edgerton) to help save her wounded husband from an outlaw gang (led by an unrecognizable Ewan McGregor). It’s Edgerton who handles most of the action, but those scenes are in short supply. Much of the narrative is spent in flashbacks that show how they ended up in this situation and in quiet conversations about their relationships. Even with a strong cast and some decent gunplay, so much of this film focuses on those tedious personal interactions that I wanted to use the gun on myself.… Expand

Jane Got a Gun is the most boringest western I've ever stared at. The characters are boring, the actors are boring, the action is boring, the story is lame, and it just drags itself like a zombie for 2 hours. Bleh.

i would say the film has very strong aesthetics; the cinematography, the costumes, music. otherwise the story is just so so. its not a bad film, pretty moody in some scenes.

An okay western that is good enough to recommend because of its performances. I honestly was hoping for more from director Gavin O'Connor but with the problems this film had decent is the best we can get. B-

By far, if you want an enjoyable movie that you want to watch, watch something else. Jane Got a Gun will be only enjoyable by your opinion and your taste.

It's an okay western. Decent acting and cinematography, but mostly predictable and somewhat lame story.

First of all, if you want to see something new and fresh in this movie - there is nothing really.

Ok, I agree, movies should not be rated only in comparison with other movies but on their own too - so, first of all, while acting is not bad, the story itself is not that entertaining and actually is quite predictable from the beginning to the end. Even some twists they try to put in there do not feel like twists and you feel like - ah, whatever, this does not really change things here. It was ok and well acted, but certainly not a movie to remember for a long time and it lacked something in the storyline to be a greater movie… Expand

The movie had a lot of trouble being made from changing multiple directors, delays, and shifting around roles. Which becomes apparent throughout the movie. All the actors do a very good job to keep the movie relevant though. Even with goodThe movie had a lot of trouble being made from changing multiple directors, delays, and shifting around roles.
