Trivia
After a long period of production issues since 2012, involving director and casting changes, principal photography began on March 21, 2013. Jane Got a Gun (2015) was released in Europe in November 2015, and in the U.S. on January 29, 2016. It was filmed on location in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Goofs
After missing her target horribly while learning to shoot a pistol, Jane picks up a rifle to demonstrate that she can shoot that type of firearm well. Jane then proceeds to shoot the handle off of an ax. No settler out in the middle of nowhere would shoot the handle off of a much needed and precious implement such as an ax just to prove a point.

It's just a stick and it looks to be a replacement for the last stick/handle. The precious part of is the steel axehead.

Heck of a Western

Heck of a Western, I expected it would be good before I viewed it when I saw Joel Edgerton had a major role in the movie

Edgerton can really bring it as a lead or support role. And he didn't disappoint.

But I was extremely impressed with Portman. She has picked some stinker roles in the past however she proved IMO she is no longer just the pretty face and she has honed her craft to be a very good actor.

Blows my mind that IMDb is only giving this movie a rating of 5.9 I am a big fan of westerns and I don't hand out high ratings with a whim or fancy.

Good to see Ewan McGregor in a small role. I thought he nailed his part, as well.
