I watched Haywire. Did I mention that I watched Haywire? My bad. It's because I liked The Grey so much better so I became a bit obsessed with how awesome that was.
Haywire was cool though. It stars Gina Carano, a female MMA star I had never heard of before seeing her on this panel at Comic-Con last year. I didn't even realize there was female MMA. Insane. Anyway, because she is a real fighter, her fight scenes were amazing. It's not skinny-ass Angelina Jolie bringing down dudes here; it's someone you actually believe.
But, it being a Steven Soderbergh film, it can't be all fight scenes. The movie must be filled with a million famous actors, feature cool camera angles, and most importantly have a lot of really crappy music playing during running sequences. A lot. For whatever reason (because I'm dumb) I would have preferred this movie just dumbed-down and all kickass. It's still good though! And I have a mad girl crush on Gina Carano - that bitch is sexy onscreen. I hope she does more action movies for sure.
