Gavin O’Connor Western “Jane Got a Gun “with Natalie Portman looks like a commercial for vintage jeans and seem to be glued together from genre clichés.

Western talk about the fight of civilization against the wilderness. The location of this dispute is ideal typically a far all settlements situated house. In John Ford’s classic ‘The Searchers / The Searchers “is attacked and burned a ranch of Comanches. The sequence in which the night descends entrench on the prairie and the residents themselves, is one of the scariest film history.

Also in Gavin O’Connor’s film “Jane Got a Gun” is lurking outside evil. This time, however, are not Indians, but the men of the Bishop gang, evil villains, bruisers and cutthroats who do not yet fully inferred from the state power New Mexico have made it their prey – 1871, in those anarchic, violent era after the Civil War in which even “The Searchers” playing

Again and again the view goes by slightly arched windows out into the desert. Something, a cloud of dust or a flock of birds, may suggest that the danger approaches. But there is nothing, only the shimmering heat and red-yellow sand blowing over. Here, in the cracking leather cozy wooden mold, Jane lives, and the gun from the movie title she has to protect her severely injured husband. Right at the beginning she cuts him four balls out of the body, who missed him the Bishops. As anesthetic whiskey is ready in Western which is a mandatory procedure

Natalie Portman plays this heroine which will outgrow throughout the film about himself. When she puts on her cowboy hat and the dark “Once Upon a Time in the West” covers -Staubmantel, then its clear angularity takes best advantage. Ever seen in “Jane Got a Gun” everything incredibly well made. The light shines bright above ground, every grain of sand desert seems to be curated individually and the men present in their scarred faces interesting beard fashions. The most impressive is the four-musketeers-Bart, the Ewan McGregor contributes as Upper Rogue Colin McCann. He speaks in geschnörkelten sets, but is even more sadistic.

The pictures could hardly be more opulent. Man imagines himself in an overly long commercial for vintage jeans. Poor contrast affects the story. Three authors have glued together from highly wood-containing Western-props and set pieces louder. There is a desert brothel full Zwangsprostituierter and a small town in the middle of nowhere, in the ruled the crime. She is an original way Lullaby.

The rescuer from the flashback

The showdown starts with the gangsters perforate the farmhouse. So complicated as long flashbacks to explain the motivation of the characters. A flashback comes also the savior. It is Jane’s ex-fiance Dan Frost, the Joel Edgerton embodies something flokatibärtig. Jane has a gun. Dan has two revolvers. Together they are unbeatable.
