The fights in Haywire are great, IMO. Gina Carano is an MMA star, after all. The story itself isn't brilliant but i really enjoyed the movie.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

Spend 45 years watching people shaped like you get rescued by action heroes, and you'll be pretty damn grateful for Gina Carano...

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
They're making RED 2? That is fabulous news.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gina Carano's not a good actress, but luckily she shares space with Channing Tatum.
Uh?
Basically, if I want to see a recent female kicking ass movie, I'd pick up Hanna before Haywire. But it's worth seeing so you know. Her fight scenes are damned solid. It's the bits inbetween that...enh.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ita, did you see all of Hanna? Or just the scene at the container dock? Cuz that movie was BORING.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Cuz that movie was BORING.
Okay that's just pure unfiltered crazytalk. Hanna was great!

It was perhaps a bit slow, but I thought it was very good, something different, although it could have been better.
