"Jane Got a Gun" centers on Jane Hammond (Natalie Portman), who has built a new life with her husband Bill "Ham" Hammond (Noah Emmerich) after being tormented by the ultra-violent Bishop Boys outlaw gang. She finds herself in the gang's cross-hairs once again when Ham stumbles home riddled with bullets after dueling with the Boys and their relentless mastermind Colin (Ewan McGregor). With the vengeful crew hot on Ham's trail, Jane has nowhere to turn but to her former fiancé Dan Frost (Joel Edgerton) for help in defending her family against certain destruction. Haunted by old memories, Jane's past meets the present in a heart-stopping battle for survival. (official distributor synopsis)

A small-scale Western film that doesn’t bother with the story too much and puts people who need to defend a wooden house in the middle of a desert into the main role. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyhow, as a small-scale film, this movie is pretty watchable. Here and there it offers a more interesting dialogue or shows a more interesting scene. The actors are also pretty okay. Nevertheless, the movie is best summed up in the word “small-scale”.

If we continue in a similar spirit, this modern trend of western movies will soon fade away. It's like the films wanted to take something from Leone, but they forgot that it's not just about the slow pace and long shots... Even the famous faces won't save it, this is western boredom. However, the story is not so bad.
