I wasn't too impressed by this film as I hoped I'd be. I liked it and everything, but it was not amazing in my opinion.
Jane (Portman) ends up in a sticky situation when her husband Bill Hammond, played by Noah Emmerich, comes home shot in the back and barely alive. He tells her the gang of outlaws led by Colin McCann (McGregor) are coming to finish him off and probably take care of her too. In order to survive, she finds Dan Frost (Edgerton), her past fiancé and asks for his help. Begrudgingly he helps in order to protect the woman he still loves.
Definitely a love triangle going on in this film, but it did not seem to be portrayed well by Portman. Edgerton was great in how he handled a situation where he met the man that took his fiancé away and so was Emmerich in how he was a bed ridden man that could do nothing, but glare and Edgerton.
The plot of the film was well enough, but like I said, nothing too exciting. Everything technical about the film was right in the traditional sense, but there were no crazy moves or experiments with camera shots or editing that I noticed.
I suggest renting the film, since it isn't bad, but it isn't that great either. 2 popcorns.
