	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	'A brooding femme-centric western in which the most exciting action seemed to occur offscreen (...) This is one of those cases where the making-of could be better — and definitely more fun — than the final product"	NEU
United Kingdom	Lisa Nesselson Screendaily	"An attractively mounted post-Civil War revenge drama with plenty of shooting and a well-placed twist or two"	POS
United States	Anthony Lane The New Yorker	"This poor little movie fires blanks."	NEG
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"There are movies that can make you feel nostalgic for a more innocent time (...) 'Jane Got a Gun,' a solidly made and conventionally satisfying Western, is one of those movies"	POS
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"'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"	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"Jane Got a Gun is a slow fuse of a film that burns to a whimper instead of an explosion"	NEG
United States	Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"Whatever feminist angle the film might have once aspired to is lost in its listless shuffle."	NEG
United States	Peter Sobczynski rogerebert.com	"The problem with the film is that it never quite finds that final spark of inspiration that might have made it worth seeing (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
