Haywire


Haywire, absolutely Haywire. An intriguing action packed movie filled with lies, more lies and statistics tells the tale of Mallory (Gino Carano) as she’s being hunted down by the authorities who believe she is a rogue hired killer after being set up and betrayed. Goodness that felt painful even to write.

Chivalry is truly dead

I think it’s safe to say that this film is used as a platform to introduce Gina Carano to the world. I suppose you could say she is somewhat the next female Steven Seagal (ugh that’s quite a sight) and expect her to be in a few more action roles in the future.

“Why I Hate This Film”

Yeah it’s a negative review. It starts out in typical fashion. Not much talking but images to show some pretty sneaky stuffs about to happen (rescuing a hostage). You get pretty used to the style of the movie thinking “hey this feels different, I don’t mind a bit of this” until you realize it’s like this THE WHOLE TIME. Accompanied by some strange-ass jazz porno fueled music during fight scenes, the movie preaches crazy insane action but slowly dies of a terrible miserable slow-mo death. If you’re an action junky you’re going to think it’s slow and cliché. Even suicide might be faster than some scenes.

Lady got Kiwi on face.. HU-AH

The Verdict = 2/5

Haywire is terribly slow action paced film. It tries to be different but ends up being the same as any other espionage “I’ve been double-crossed” movie. Fight scenes are good but if that was the case I’d rather watch UFC. Now where is my Warrior Blue-Ray?
