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.

**_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…
