Description

This dynamic action-thriller directed by Oscar(R) winner Steven Soderbergh (Contagion) boasts a talented cast that includes Channing Tatum (GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra), Ewan McGregor (The Ghost Writer), Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class), Antonio Banderas (The Legend of Zoro), Bill Paxton ("Big Love"), Michael Douglas (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), Michael Angarano (Almost Famous); and introduces mixed martial arts (MMA) superstar Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, in a demanding lead role that has her performing her own high-adrenaline stunts. Mallory Kane is a highly trained operative who works for a government security contractor in the dirtiest, most dangerous corners of the world. After successfully freeing a Chinese journalist held hostage, she is double crossed and left for dead by someone close to her in her own agency. Suddenly the target of skilled assassins who know her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive. Using her black-ops military training, she devises an ingenious--and dangerous--trap. But when things go haywire, Mallory realizes she'll be killed in the blink of an eye unless she finds a way to turn the tables on her ruthless adversary.

  • This is Purely a Soderbergh Spy Flick

    People are probably turned off by this film because it’s not anything like James Bond or Jason Bourne or any other spy with the initials of JB. It’s Soderbergh, straight through, with its muddled timeline and lingering shots and music instead of dialog. If you like that kind of film (Ocean's 11 without the wisecracking) then this is a really good film. If you’re more for quick, end-t-end action, it’s not for you. You’ll find it a bore. This thing is methodical and subtle and only gives a clue as to what’s going on based on color palette. Better than I expected. And, so far, it’s the only film where Gina Carano fits the role perfectly.

    This movies bad, but actually has many elements of a good movie. The fight scenes are particularly good and impactful. The problem is they are few and far between. The “twist” was obvious, and the main actress is not very convincing when she isn’t fighting. The cinematography is nice but the movie drags on and on until it just ends. Acting from everyone else was ok. Not sure why Michael Douglas was in this or Antonio banderas or. Never mind, if you are a fan of the director watch once if truly dedicated. Otherwise stay away.

    Wow! This was horrific. Perhaps if there is a sequel something might happen. No story line!

    I think that it was a well made film by a great director, that had good actors to go along with it. I don't know why it got so many one star reviews. Totally not worth that. Lowest would be three and a half stars. One of the great things about the movie was, it's lead role was a female. I'm a guy but, it's nice to see a woman lead.

  • Smart action movie.

    I don't quite understand the bad reviews of Haywire. I have seen it a few times and just purchased it on iTunes. I believe most people these days expect all action movies to be fast moving, CGI filled, and with little or no depth. This movie is a throwback for me, reminding me of some of my favorite action films like Ronin, Leon the Professional, and the Bourne Identity. The plot is simple and involves deception, betrayal, and revenge. Gina Carano does an excellent job as a straight faced contractor seeking revenge. Long story short, if you are looking for an explosion filled, mainstream movie, this is not for you. If you want to give a smart action movie a chance, check this out.

  • Just love this film

    It's a mature action film. The filmmakers should give that away. Love the fight scenes. There is a realism to them that might put some people off that are more used to a cinematic energy, but I thought it made them much more effective. Gina Carano isn't where she might want to be as an actress but she's charasmtic and holds the screen. The story is about as simple as it comes but the film seems much more interested in the action and the moments between actors. The film achieves exactly what it wants so the one star reviews seem a bit crazy to me, even if it's not your sort of thing thing.

    with all the big name actors, you’d think it would be a great action movie. Not the case. Story was not believable.
