He threatens her at gunpoint and asks her to take him to her house, to Ham. But Dan saves Jane from him, Jane shoots the man and leaves the body there. Dan rides with Jane to her house.

Star performance

Natalie Portman, as Jane, is the female lead of the film. Portman gave an excellent performance. She beautifully conveys the transformation of Jane, from a simple girl to a frontierswoman, to protect her family.

Joel Edgerton, as Dan, gave a powerful performance. His expressions were mind-blowing.

Portman and Edgerton’s chemistry on-screen is absolutely marvelous.

Ewan McGregor, as Bishop, is the villain of the story. He did complete justice to his character, Bishop, the cruel gangster. He is successful in making people hate him as a villain.

All the other actors did a great job and portrayed their characters excellently.

Analysis

Jane Got a Gun is a story of a woman protecting her family from a gang “ The Bishop Boys. ”

This film is completely different from other action films with a female lead. The film doesn’t show a women with impossible strength and superpowers destroying everything coming in her path, but instead we see how Jane ( female lead) transformed from a sweet girl to a strong woman to protect her family.

The ending of the film is satisfying. The fight sequence between the Bishop gang and Jane and Dan gives goosebumps.

The director of the film is. He did a marvelous job.

The film offers beautiful scenes of landscapes and Barren land. The soundtrack and songs of the film are fantastic.

It is an action-packed film filled with plenty of romance and suspense.
