| Consequence of SoundBlake Goble"Jane" eventually comes alive, even if Jane never truly does. |
| The Film StageMichael SnydelA fleet, nasty western that feels uncompromising in its violence. |
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezDeeply over-reliant on flashbacks, and ones that don’t particularly transition well, Jane Got A Gun is nearly a holding pattern movie. |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondThe personal relationships are pleasingly complex, characters you start off loathing you end up liking, and, of course, there's a terrific shootout in the end. |
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatySince the film’s last-minute rewrites, casting switcheroos, and musical chairs behind the camera are irrelevant to the actual quality of the movie, I’ll avoid rehashing them here, save to say that the disarray shows on screen. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookA solid Western has ridden into town ... and if you like gritty films about this era, you'll want to make its acquaintance. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersWhat is here is enjoyable if taken on its own terms, much of Jane Got a Gun playing out with a 1940s or '50s Hollywood élan I found more than satisfying. |

| Village VoiceMichael NordineO'Connor's movie is too sentimental and self-serious to add much of note to the mythos, but Portman embodies her character's grief no less movingly than her forebears. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThe film is less a blend of genres than one big mess. |
