Those bad guys are led by none other than Ewan McGregor. To help her in her fight against these outlaws, she enlists an ex-soldier, played by Joel Edgerton. With a character focused plotline, it’s a good movie and worth seeing whether you’re a fan of westerns or Star Wars actors.

In the starring role, Natalie plays a woman named Jane Hammond. Through the story, we learn of her troubled past and how she’s ended up in the situation that she’s in.

With the help of Dan Frost, played by Edgerton, she makes her stand to defend what she loves.
