Haywire

 

USA 2011, 93 minutes
Dir. Steven Soderbergh
Genres: Action/Adventure / Spy

 

“As cartoonish live-action and photorealistic cartoons reign at the multiplex, all but obsoleting the laws of gravity, 'Haywire' puts the impact back into screen violence, brings it back to earth.”~Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice

Aroview: Steven Soderbergh directs this classy action vehicle for mixed martial arts star Gina Carano, here playing a black ops spy who is double crossed on her latest mission abroad.

Delivered with typical Soderbergh efficiency and dexterity, yet also fast and loose in the tradition of globe-trotting espionage thrillers, the film is distinguished for its clear-sighted action sequences and realistic hand-to-hand combat, edited in opposition to the frenetic, scatter-shot fight style popularized by the Bourne trilogy. In other words, an action movie with aesthetic smarts.
