when in doubt, watch gavin o'connor. kidding. but this is not a bad watch. tough woman in a cowboy setting, what is there not to like? natalie portman plays the wife hell bent to protect her injured outlaw husband from a bunch of tugs headed by ewan mcgregor (he doesn't sound too scottish so it's OK) with the help of her ex boyfriend, the taciturn joel edgerton. while the story was not as driven as it could have been, i like portman's character of being her own woman firm with the choices she had to make given the situation that she was in. in a world of war and poverty, rest assured that the victims will always be women and children, while men fight to senseless deaths.
