After Mallory's (Gina Carano) team turn against her, she is forced to go rogue and fight anyone who crosses her, even Channing Tatum. The fight with Mr. Tatum is immense; after lurching for her across a diner, he slams her head into the counter. Who said chivalry is dead?
Gina Carano comes across very stiff, she is playing a Black Ops soldier but it looks like she took inspiration from the lifeless soldiers of Call of Duty. The fight scenes are impressive at first but then seem unconvincing and overly rehearsed, maybe they were learning dance sequences from Channing in-between takes. The soundtrack is very Ocean's Eleven-esque, and after looking at who composed the music for Haywire, I can understand why: same guy.
There is one good thing I could say about Haywire; the locations all look very authentic. Yeh, that's it. So many great actors went into creating this film: Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Michael Fassbender, yet what was produced was some cheesy special agent flick with war paint and catch phrases. Too many cooks have obviously spoilt this broth.
