HAYWIRE

HAYWIRE


HAYWIRE is Steven Soderbergh's latest offering with his lead actress plucked from the world of mixed martial art we've not got one eye on oscar and another on the acceptance speech but what we do have is a female action hero who could give JASON STATHAM a run for his money. Gina Carano plays Mallory a former marine turned private black-op agent working for the government. Unfortunately for Mallory her boss and ex-boyfriend Kenneth (Ewan Mcgregor) has more twists than a Curly Wurly and so starts the adrenalin pumped head rush that is HAYWIRE the monosyllabic Gina Carano is totally believable as she kicks, punches and shoots her way through the film from Barcelona to New Mexico. Performing some breathtaking stunts along the way the roof chase in Dublin was one of many elaborate and memorable action sequences as was the neck breaking choreography in her with fight with Paul (Michael scene stealing Fassbender) the man given the job of disposing of her unlucky. With an all star all male cast Gina Carano more than held her own, the subdued cinematography was a little distracting and some of the fight and action scenes could have been cut a bit quicker  JOHN WOO style but apart from that it was a good bit of action candy.
