Directed by Gavin O’Connor, “Jane Got a Gun” stars Natalie Portman, Noah Emmerich and Joel Edgerton.
I wasn’t a fan of the movie at all. Before I started it, I didn’t think that it would have so much gore and violence. All anyone did was fight and kill almost everyone they came across, and the actual story lacked substance.
When I started watching the movie, I didn’t quite understand what was going on. It took me a little bit of time to understand the plot, the role of each character and the reason why everything happened the way that it did.
Despite the lack of flow and confusing plot, I did like the lighting, acting, costume design and special effects of each scene. When I watched the movie, I felt like I was in that time period and physically there for each scene.
When I heard gun shots and saw the splash of blood from a wound, I could tell that a lot of hard work went into the scene, not only by the actors but also by the director.
Unfortunately, this was not enough to redeem the movie. “Jane Got a Gun” has great effects and the aesthetic appeal of an old western film, but it lacked the depth and plot to support itself.
