Haywire...
After seeing the trailer, nothing says great movie like Michael Fassbender beating the crap out of a woman who's giving just as good as she's getting, my expectations were high. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, and a cast including Ewan McGregor and Michael Douglas (a cast I didn't realise was so good until the film started), I was ready for 93 minutes of great movie.
What I got was UFC and Jazz. With the feeling at the end of it all that I should have been more impressed.
The majority of the films soundtrack made me feel as though I was sat in a lift, listening to elevator music. Add to that the fight scenes, where by Gina Carano kicks seven shades of shit out of everyone, but ultimately you get the sense that she's a pro fighter. What you're then left with is a something similar to Universal Soldier The Return, with Goldberg. You enjoy the fighting, but it's wooden.
But it's not bad. So I ended up sat there at the end of the film, annoyed that I didn't feel more strongly about it one way or another.
It'll be good to see how Gina Carano fares in the upcoming sequel in the Percy Jackson franchise.
