    Haywire

    I was extremely dissapointed in this movie. We hadn't had a good just flat out action/beat em up in awhile and I was in the mood for one. Gina Corano is a hottie and can deffinatly kick some ass so I figured I was fixing to watch one. Boy was I wrong. They play this weird 70s porno music threw most of the movie. Its either her running from people or the music overpowering whats happening on screen. They walk around a lot in this movie. Its just hard to put in to words why this movie was so boring, mainly cuz my attention kept drifting to my phone to check on the NFC champsionship. My power had went out so we couldn't watch the game, went to a movie instead. Wish we'd watched Underworld.

    The few fight scenes that are in the movie are actually really good. They seem very real as apposed to a lot of "cut and let the stunt guy do this part" I did really enjoy that part. And I wouldn't be against watching Gina kick some more ass on screen cuz shes real good at it, although her acting skills leave something to be desired. If this is something you have to see then wait for DVD.

    You mean like The Expendables... or Columbiana... or Taken?

    Either way, I'll catch this on Netflix one day. Been getting okay reviews from around me, but eh...

    Movie looked dumb to me, but I've been hearing a lot of surprisingly positive reviews and feedback on it. I hear, if anything, the fighting is pretty realistic and brutal, which makes up for the storyline.

    I forgot about those flicks! I did really like Expendables but didn't care much for Colombiana. But come to think of it it was better than this flick.

    This movie didn't look that good to begin with. I will wait until it comes out on Netflix, or maybe not watch it at all. You said Colombiana was better than this? And I thought that movie was boring.

    Columbiana is such a horrible flick, with so many plot-holes, one of the biggest being early in the film.

    Pretty much everything semi-interesting in Columbiana was done better in The Professional and the origin story for Oren Ishii in Kill Bill. The rest of it was just kinda silly.

    Finally caught this flick earlier -- wasn't too bad. Liked certain aspects of it, but I think having Steven Soderbergh direct an action piece like this worked against it. I did like how a lot of scenes had no music and was filmed in a way that seemed fairly realistic, especially with the fight scenes. But Soderbergh's style just didn't mesh well for the theme of the film, especially with how everything's played out, so we're given a lot of sequences that seem to have little impact on the viewer and may not really make much sense until much later in the flick. Either way, I liked some of the fighting and it was an interesting watch. Also, Gina Carano is hot as F

    6/10 but it's a high 6
