Review of Jane Got a Gun (2015) by Kevin M — 01 May 2016

Natalie Portman as a frontier woman? Sure. Why not. This film was apparently Natalie's little passion project. There were a couple of good casting selects, but in general it felt like they had to go with a lot of alternative choices from the B-list, or C-listers.

I don't feel like anyone but Natalie was a first choice. The flashbacks felt a little canned, and the music at the end was a little embarrassing, but overall it was a legitimate looking Western movie.

The ending (no spoiler) felt like Westerns made 60 years ago. So that's gotta be worth something. Not horrible, just not worth watching again. Rating: 6.5 / 10.
