Jane Got a Gun

One sentence synopsis: Jane's husband is in bad shape and persecuted, and there's only one way she can help him: with a gun.

One sentence trailer thoughts: Ok, I'm listening.

Expanded thoughts: as I mentioned before in my Bone Tomahawk review, I'm a fan of Westerns; but the name of this particular one sounded so stupid I was avoiding watching the trailer out of disinterest. Well, I finally gave in, and turns out it looks pretty good. Not a "holy shit, I must see this!" kind of good, but an "Ok, I'm listening" sort of good that makes you willing to devote a slow afternoon to go to the movies and have a swell time.

This film is NRA approved.

The cast seems pretty cool too, besides Natalie Portman. We got Joel Edgerton as the co-lead, an actor of good talent that is on the rise in Hollywood, as well as Ewan McGregor as the main antagonist. Natalie doesn't seem forced in the role of a woman in the West out to defend herself on her own... and in fact it just dawned on me what this was reminding me of: Claudia Cardinale's Jill McBain from Once Upon a Time in the West, though she didn't go as far training with guns (that I can recall). Anyway, Portman looks comfortable in the role, and I'm intrigued.

Expectations: I just said it, I'm intrigued.
