Review of Jane Got a Gun (2015) by James R — 31 Dec 2016

A movie where I don't really quite know who thought this would be a good idea to make. Jane Hammond (Natalie Portman) seeks the help of her ex-lover Dan Frost (Joel Edgerton) to help her fight a gang of outlaws lead by John Bishop (Ewan McGregor) who seek Jane and her husband Bill (Noah Emmerich).

Bill saved Jane from John years back and in the process killed a ton of his men, so John has been searching for the two ever since. The film is pretty predictable and has to have one of the most Hollywood endings I've seen in awhile.

I'd say the most interesting person in the film is Edgerton's character and even then his character is never fully developed. Why was he living so close to Jane? Is he a drunk? Why does he decide to help out out of nowhere? This movie had a ton of issues just getting into production and at a certain point it seemed like everyone was just like, "Just shoot it and get it out I don't want anything to do with this anymore.

" It's a skip overall, it has some good action sequences, but the story and plot is severely lacking.
