Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Maleplatypus Despite the excellent cast (except for Ms. Carano who simply is not an actor by any standard, even Ed Wood's) and director's efforts, this movie is almost awful. Most of the time nothing really happens and so called fights are obviously designed for (again) Ms. Carano. What is she doing in this movie (or in any, for that matter), especially as a main character? No acting abilities, fights and wins opponents who could "eat her for breakfast" and so on. But she can run. Maybe look good (depending on the taste). That's it basically. Writers of this movie should be put before the firing squad and/or prohibited to work anywhere and anyhow. Ms Carano should remain in C or D movies, where she belongs. Other cast - shame on you for participating in this waste of time. No, salary is not an excuse.

SnoopyStyle Mallory Kane (Gina Carano) is a private special ops contractor who works for governments in their black secret ops. She fights with fellow contractor Aaron (Channing Tatum) and escape with civilian Scott (Michael Angarano). She tells him the story behind the fight. US government Coblenz (Michael Douglas) hires Kane and others including Aaron to rescue Jiang being held in Barcelona. Afterward, Kenneth (Ewan McGregor) assigns her to pose as the wife of British MI6 agent Paul (Michael Fassbender) during a mission in Dublin.Director Steven Soderbergh brings his A-list friends to play along with Gina Carano. She is the heart and it's a robotic one. She would be a good Terminator but she's not an actual actress. Her one big advantage is her fighting abilities. She can really hit and more importantly, she can really get hit. It makes the fight scenes that much more exciting. This movie has about 20 minutes of amazing fight footage. The rest has Soderbergh's style and good work but also Carano's wooden facial expressions. I wonder if the movie could be better with Carano as a silent killer.

Shawn Watson How low can you go? Steven Soderbergh, an Oscar-winning filmmaker, has ended up making bottom-of-the-shelf DTV fare. I should have realized when I saw the truly awful cover art this this movie was complete garbage. How he and experienced writer Lem Dobbs could churn out something as bad as this is really quite an eye-opener.The plot is presented non-chronologically in order to make it seem more complex when it actually just makes it confusing and boring. I just could not follow it and eventually lost interest. Gina Carano plays a Spook who is set-up or sold-out or...something. Then everyone is trying to kill her and she fights back and blah, blah, blah. Absolute trash.Carano's acting was (apparently) not that bad, but I have heard that she was dubbed over with Laura San Giacomo. Not sure if there is any truth to this, but it is very odd if so. Many actors pop up for dismissive cameos including Michael Fassbender, an actor who's entire skeleton is made up of cuboid-shaped Lego bricks and someone I am sick to death of seeing in movies, and Ewan McGregor losing the battle with an American accent.Haywire is a cure for insomnia. It's a fast way to get bored. Miss it!

jebhoge In typical Soderbergh fashion, it takes a couple of viewings to sort out all of the plot's twists. It's easy to get left behind; the time shifts and the quiet moments of dialogue can trip up a viewer, but it's a slick little thriller. I happen to love Gina Carano in this role; maybe she's not the most flexible line-reader but in her character, it works, and she pulls off the action sequences beautifully. I also was amazed at the star power in the supporting roles. The soundtrack is excellent as well. In short, this is exactly the kind of spy thriller you'd expect from the guy who made Out Of Sight, Ocean's 11-13, Traffic, etc.
