Haywire (2011)

Movie-A-Day Challenge
Day 4

Relativity Media

Haywire was met with critical praise when it came out, but the reaction to it by the casual movie goers was the opposite and I understand why. When promotion came out for the movie, it seemed like a straight up action movie with lots of gun shooting but it's more of a thriller with some real hard hitting fight scenes. I was expecting the former, but was really glad that wasn't what the movie ended up being. The story isn't anything you haven't seen before, but like most of Steven Soderbergh's films, he rises above whatever basic story is given to him. Gina Carano still needs work as an all around actress but I think she has a lot of potential as an action star.
