Summary:

Young and pretty with a soul of pure steel, Jane Hammond is a good girl married to one of the worst baddies in town. When her husband Bill turns against his own gang, the vicious Bishop Boys, and returns home barely alive with eight bullets in his back, Jane knows it's time to ditch the dress for a pair of pants and strap on her own gun.

" ... Portman embodies her character's grief no less movingly than her forebears."--Village Voice.

"The Weinstein Company may have unloaded this embattled Western without fanfare, but it should still appeal to genre fans."--Variety.

"As stripped-down, revisionist Westerns go, 'Jane Got A Gun' may not have reinvented the wagon wheel, but it rolls out as a sturdy, well-crafted genre piece despite its rocky road to the screen."--Los Angeles Times.
