With a title like this, you’d expect Jane to be a kick-ass gunslinger. Not the case. It’s set in 1870s New Mexico, where a woman (Natalie Portman) pays her ex-lover (Joel Edgerton) to help save her wounded husband from an outlaw gang (led by an unrecognizable Ewan McGregor). It’s Edgerton who handles most of the action, but those scenes are in short supply. Much of the narrative is spent in flashbacks that show how they ended up in this situation and in quiet conversations about their relationships. Even with a strong cast and some decent gunplay, so much of this film focuses on those tedious personal interactions that I wanted to use the gun on myself.
