Young mother Jane Hammond (Natalie Portman) finds herself in a gang’s cross-hairs once again when her husband, Bill “Ham” Hammond (Noah Emmerich) stumbles home riddled with bullets after duelling with the ‘Bishop Boys’ and their malicious leader, Colin (Ewan McGregor). With the vengeful crew hot on Ham's trail, Jane has nowhere to turn but to her former fiancée Dan Frost (Joel Edgerton) for help in defending her home against invasion. Jane’s survival depends on the man she once loved, but soon she must discover her own inner strength to defend her family. (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)

A small-scale Western film that doesn’t bother with the story too much and puts people who need to defend a wooden house in the middle of a desert into the main role. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyhow, as a small-scale film, this movie is pretty watchable. Here and there it offers a more interesting dialogue or shows a more interesting scene. The actors are also pretty okay. Nevertheless, the movie is best summed up in the word “small-scale”.

If we continue in a similar spirit, this modern trend of western movies will soon fade away. It's like the films wanted to take something from Leone, but they forgot that it's not just about the slow pace and long shots... Even the famous faces won't save it, this is western boredom. However, the story is not so bad.
