Haywire


Joining a healthy strand of action films following lone 'Black Ops' operators betrayed by their former employers and on the run/out for revenge/rescuing a girl (The American and Spartan being two of the best, and most stylish in different ways; Taken is a guilty pleasure on the other hand...), Steven Soderbergh directs the screen debut of women's MMA fighter Gina Carano leading a stellar cast in Haywire. In this film the girl can look after herself, but let's hope her acting lives up to that of fellow MMA retiree (and The Expendables cast member) Randy Couture.
