The plot is confusing and often boring. The jazz/soul hybrid soundtrack is somewhat immersion breaking, as is Carano's stilted dialog--she doesn't seem to know how to move her face, but you couldn't say that about her legs. When she kicks ass, she certainly kicks ass, that's the one upside of a professional MMA fighter as your lead actress. But as a spy movie, or just a movie in general, this is a boring mess.

Not great. Bit of a shame really, because I think it had the potential to be much better. Gina Carano gives a convincing performance even when not kicking ass, but her character, along with everyone else's, and the story are left painfully underdeveloped. The tangled web of intrigue isn't all that tangled, and the ending feels like a bit of a cop out. As a throw-away action film there's too much thinking, for a thinky thriller it's too slow. Not terrible, but must try harder.

Soderbergh's direction and Carano's convincing physicality help to overcome a second rate action/thriller script. The action sequences are truly the highlight here, as Carano's ability allows for a visceral feel without resorting to frenetic editing.

The fight scenes posses a stark yet lyrical brutality to them that really makes them engaging, but most everything inbetween lacks a forward feeling that would have held it all together. Interesting attempt at a juxtaposition of differing tones, but it doesn't quite work.

Decent enough action thriller with something rather unusual: a female action lead that actually looks tough. Gina Carano, an MMA fighter, stars in this spy-thriller, that has moments of impressively choreographed action (not the NON-STOP ACTION THRILL RIDE it's billed as). The plot isn't insultingly stupid, a welcome change from your average low-budget action flick, and this packs an impressive supporting cast. All in all, a solid low-budget alternative action flick.

Enjoyment of this movie depends on accepting that the plot is just there to keep things moving along while the filmmaker conducts some aesthetic experiments largely focused around the question of how best to showcase the remarkable physical capabilities of his lead actress. The fight and action scenes are indeed striking and very well done. That Soderbergh has been so efficiently and energetically prolific is admirable, even though it seems it may have come at the price of unfulfilled potential.

The action scenes were decent, some cool set pieces, not a bunch of cuts like a Bourne movie, however every other aspect of the movie reminded me of Bourne. The sort of road trip aspect with Scott, a lot of it taking place overseas, the secret agent that the company turns against. As for the plot, it was very uninvolving, forgettable, confusing, and for the most part, boring. The lead actress wasn't that great at acting, but she carried out the fight scenes well enough.

Boring as hell, tries embarrassingly hard to be stylish, too many color filters, poor choices of music, idiotic story, and crappy acting. The lead actress is unable to carry a scene, let alone a film, due to her total lack of charisma. Looks like a student film from the 80s from start to finish, including the action parts. While the fights are the best parts of the film, they are by no means 'good' by modern standards. Don't watch.

Finally, a spy thriller where you can actually follow the action! Apart from that and a stellar cast, Haywire doesn't have thát many positive things going for it. The story is basic as hell and the second half isn't that exciting. Still, I had fun during the first, and I always enjoy that cartload of 'cool' that Soderbergh manages to inject into most of his projects.

A large excellent cast, great locations and interesting fight sequences help make an otherwise poorly told story more interesting. Most scenes, taken individually, are entertaining enough, but the timeline is fragmented and broken. Gina Carano convincingly plays the bad girl, but her delivery is mostly stiff and lifeless, quite unlike her excellent fighting performance. It seems that poor story telling, lazy direction and possibly bad editing has translated into a lot of lost potential.

Soderbergh's annoying obsession with transforming the main story into flashbacks once again is on show here. His actors are also a bit flat, although Banderas does well with little. There is a sort of 'paint-by-numbers' approach to the spy plot which is irritating. Still, it offered a slightly different emphasis to its fights and chases, which was refreshing.

Really disappointed. I expected good things considering the talent involved. The movie gets props for trying to do something a tad different than the normal action-thriller, but I felt like a lot of it didn't work. The chases were lame, I didn't feel the music fit the atmosphere and even the MMA type fight scenes didn't have the energy they should have. Mediocre acting and script as well. It had the makings of something amazing buried in there but failed.

The direction of Steven Soderbergh is very apparent in this film. The shots are all incredible. It's just a really great movie. The action scenes are some of the best I've seen in a long, long time. Gina Carano is an actress I wasn't familiar with but I will be watching her career closely from now on. She takes no prisoners in this film and I love it! The rest of the cast is awesome. Douglas, Paxton, Banderas, McGregor, Tatum and Fassbender all make this movie awesome.

This is one laidback action flick. Carano has the presence and instincts of a genuine star, and Soderbergh has crafted a zippy, fast-paced vehicle for her. The problem is that the whole thing's just so light and inconsequential. It's fun to watch Gina beat the hell out of virtually every male in the cast in what looks like real time, but there's not much in the way of suspense to go along with all the girl-on-guy butt-kicking.

Contains a fair amount of beautifully staged set pieces. I especially liked the lack of music during the fight scenes and its effective use elsewhere. Unfortunately, while the acting is generally solid, the characters are very poorly drawn and the story is just not very interesting and way more convoluted than it has to be.

Fantastic action sequences let down by a overly convoluted plot - which takes the front seat in the third act and subjects us to a lot of exposition, slowing the whole film down. Gina Carano is largely helped up by a good supporting cast, and several of the action sequences are great - with a good score reminiscent of an old espionage thriller. The pacing is also really good - up until that dreadful third act where everything goes out the window to explain the plot. A missed opportunity.

Soderbergh has become the Ben Webster of contemporary film making, playing his own jazzy variations over countless action clichés with this one. The music and action flows mercilessly and counters the utter self-awareness which would otherwise drag on. Few will like this, though it is one of the more interesting, recent stylistic experiments.

I didn't go into 'Haywire' expecting a master class in acting, but the first scene still does a great job of setting the bar as low as possible. Yet, the acting isn't the worst part of the film. To keep the mystery a mystery, you're told nothing of use until the final minutes. No misdirection. No hints. Just random information that doesn't mean a thing until the end. The reason to watch are the fight scenes, but even with the short run-time, it's not worth waiting for the plot to show up.

Walter Chaw, brilliant as always: "A spy/assassin movie broken down into its component parts and reconstructed around an absolute kickass, sexy heroine who is betrayed by every man not her father and so kills everyone. She's never the victim, never the product of a broken home or a lousy upbringing, she's just very good at what she does--yet still seen as expendable by her peers and bosses."

Top badass moment? Every time Gina Carano hit anyone. She certain looks like she could inflict some serious damage, unlike many of the more girly Hollywood heroes we get to see; (yes, I'm looking at you Wonder Woman). So this film. Mallory has row with boyfriend in restaurant about a messed up holiday in Barcelona, then for some reason goes to Dublin to beat up Hollywood A-listers, before ending up in Majorca looking like Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

A thoroughly mediocre presentation by Soderbergh with most of the film possessing the atmosphere and pacing of an episode of Red Shoe Diaries. Substitute soft core porn with a buff Carano kicking ass. The plot is just background noise since everything is an excuse to set up fight scenes in cool european locales. Carano is convincing enough which isn't surprising considering her physical presence and MMA pedigree. At least it's more believable than generic wallflower actress #199 in that role.

I'm surprised how contentious this seems to be. I mean, what was anybody expecting? It's sleek and modern in that uniquely Soderbergh-ian way, has some excellent action, and though Carano isn't anybody's idea of an actor, she's not tasked with any heavy lifting (though given how much she gets tossed around, the elastic on her bras probably got worn to nothing). And at 90 minutes it's not exactly overstuffed. jodamico's "Ocean's meets Le Samourai" take is spot-on.

A sparce thriller, with impressive moments & significant flaws. The first thing you notice about Carano, apart from the fact that she could clearly hurt you badly, is that she's not anywhere near as good an actor as she is fighter! Soderburgh steals the irritating music from his "Oceans" movies for much of the film, but thankfully most of the action is not scored, & is all the better for it. The conspiracy plot is effective, but holds no surprises, & Tatum shits all over every scene he's in.

While the fight scenes are pretty spectacular, in a simplistic sort of way, the overall picture is lacking.

This awful boring movie, could have been a whole lot better if the director/producer had chosen a different approach to the film music score.

One could say HAYWIRE is but a slight variation on the "rogue spy" storyline we've seen before, and in some ways, one would be right. But HAYWIRE is exceptional in so many ways: Steven Soderbergh's finely tuned direction, the thrilling action, David Holmes' great score, and Gina Carano--incredibly beautiful, tough, and self-assured; a truly powerful heroine. She gets able support from a top-notch cast. Lem Dobbs' script is just fine, but it's the handling that makes it top-grade entertainment.

A fantastic piece of entertaining fun. The real treats here are the formal choices Soderbergh makes, elevating a mildly interesting script to something much more engaging. I could just watch the chase in Barcelona or the escape in Dublin over and over again--great visual film-making, with an inventive camera and editing that matches the pace of the moment. And the ending is just right, punctuating the conviction of the movie that Kane is more than a handful to deal with.

Carano is attractive, can fight and act (passably at least). However, she lacks the charisma of a great movie star, imo, which didn't give the film the umph it needed. Soderbergh decisions to forgo a film score in some of the fight sequences as well as using more natural sound effects didn't help.(The use of video (HD?) didn't work well, too, imo--although it looked goodl.) The film isn't dumb like many action films, but it's not terribly interesting either. (probable score: 66)

Haywire is a good movie, but it's very dull after its opening sequence, up until about the half hour mark, and it's almost certainly going to put off a lot of viewers because of this. Is the payoff worth sitting through a pointless and convoluted plot? I'm not necessarily sure it is. The fight scenes are very impressive, but when a good third of the film's running time is essentially rendered useless, I'm not sure if it's a film that's worth the entire time it would take to watch it.

The movie Soderbergh's built around MMA fighter Carano - who doesn't have more 2 do than b the ultimate bada-s but still holds her own acting-wise & has got sexy screen presence 2 burn - plays like a throwback 2 the more dour espionage thrillers of the 70's. Which means some of the pacing's slow but the web of who's double crossing whom & why is still plenty engrossing. The fight scenes - which is really y we're here - r also refereshingly shot w/ an eye towards clarity & no cheating jump cuts.

I can't deny that Soderbergh has developed a great eye for photography and composition. Holmes' 70s-ish score punctuates the many chase scenes very well. But the film ultimately falls victim to really, really terrible pacing and perfunctory performances on the parts of Carano, Tatum, and Fassbender. I still liked the film for its diversity of location shots and music, but I don't see much else there.

Starts with a bang, and initially presents as a fun popcorn movie, before becoming bogged down in an endlessly tedious (and ultimately confusing) espionage plot which all seems like much ado when the action scenes are where the movie's heart is. Still, Soderbergh proves he has the muscle to get anyone in Hollywood to do the bare minimum in his films, with a superb cast left to flounder somewhat (though Douglas steals several scenes with his effortless authority). Watchable but unmemorable.

Carano has the best form on her low roundhouse kicks of any action star ever. Literally the best out of anyone I've seen. The grappling's okay, too, except it was dumb that she didn't bring the guy's arm over fully on the triangle choke. As for the film, I had no idea what it was about until they literally spelled it out at the end. No idea who any of the characters were, and McGregor looked practically identical to the guy who got shot. Inconsequential film with a hilariously flat ending.

So did they just take one take every time Gina Carano talks, or was that ACTUALLY the best take? Did they just give up on teaching her how to act? Jesus. I can take style over substance. I can't take bad style over no substance. There's not enough action here for me to presume all this pretense is a quote "Smokescreen for ass-kicking." Not enough ass-kicking. Score is not a grade.

Well, hell, I liked it. Excellent fights, excellent direction, and a great character. I may be a bit of a sucker for action movies, but this is one of the better ones. Very similar to Bourne minus the amnesia premise.

Definitely have a crush on Gina Carano. The movie is okay, but she's fantastic.

I mostly dug this, especially the action and the tone (I have no interest in MMA but I like that kind of grapple-fighting when represented in action movies) but Carano's single facial expression and flat affect are a pretty big liability, and the plot is oddly paced and has no sense of scope so it feels unsatisfying at the end. I enjoyed myself but I can understand why you wouldn't.

Brisk, tense, no-nonsense thriller. The punches all seem to really hurt. Gina Carano doesn't show a lot of range, but neither do most violent female sociopaths. Ewan McGregor is again unable to master an American accent.

A tense thriller which belies its formulaic plot, Soderbergh's latest is an unusual but refreshing step away from the ultra-slick Ocean's formula he perfected previously. With sparse, stilted dialogue and budget locations, the film relies on its action sequences and newcomer Gina Carano's aura of badassdom. And her rough-edged charisma and violent beauty is quite appealing. The excellent supporting cast keep things interesting but it's a shame the final act doesn't build on the earlier momentum.

ms carano proves that she has the ability to snap your dick like a twig mid cowgirl. if that idea still gives you a boner, you may enjoy this. if you're lacking the y chromosome however, you may as well watch paint dry.

There are maybe two decent fights in 'Haywire,' a disappointingly formal concoction from Steven Soderbergh who turns up the snooze factor by delicately extracting the grittiness from the project and sanding down the violence. Mixing 'Salt' with the vibe of 'Ocean's 11,' the plot is simultaneously convoluted and simplistic. The dynamite cast is wasted. But it is Gina Carano who gets the short end, because she seems like a real talent that a good film of this nature could have been built around.

Lemon and turqoise make a slight change from orange and teal but there are some nicely shot parts. Carano was impressive but given little to work with and came across a bit Terminator. The same old retiring assassin plot but strange alternation between 'realistic' and 'showy' fighting.

I guess it's competently made, but I was honestly pretty disappointed. It felt like just an unfocused chain of really short and hard to parse fights.

I found myself into it early on, it built a decent atmosphere, and was shot decently. However, I soon started feeling like the flick was just there. Not unenjoyable, just... there. Throughout the flick, I felt that the sound hampered my enjoyment and didn't feel fitting for what was happening on-screen; action sounds and background noise completely removed in favor of unfitting music is a crime in any movie. The sound editing/mixing was really off, too. Kinda dug the 70-80's feel. Worth seeing.

The amazing Gina Carano supported by a quality cast and a script that literally no-one believed in or cared about, including the miss-matched 70's porn soundtrack composer.

carano shows some promise as an actress and she has the moves to pull this one off...has some good "bournesque" moments, but by the end it was a bit overplayed. would have liked to have seen fassbender on the screen longer....oh, and i did enjoy the change of pace ending.

For what it is, Haywire definitely pulls it off. Gina Carano makes a passable female lead, and the film is more believable for the fact that she actually kicks ass in real life, so already this film ranks higher than anything Angelina Jolie has ever been in. The plot was straightforward but effective. I'd recommend this to a specific crowd, for sure.

a no-bullshit action movie, where the "bullshit" includes any character depth, which is compensated for through the big-name cast. some of it does fall flat (like the Tatum parts) but overall it kicks ass

A stacked cast except for half of Gina Carano's performance whose dialogue was replaced by another actress in post. Her physical performance is great though and the fight scenes are excellent. Many of the cast members don't have much to do and the story is exceedingly simple. The ADR-ed lead is quite distracting.

A very nice action thriller. Gina Carano is the lead, and does a decent job. She's pretty one note, but the rest of the actors do most of the heavy lifting in regards to emotion. The fights are intense and realistic, having no music playing or jump cuts to cheapen what feels like actual ass-kicking. Well done Mr. Soderbergh.

Great, great movie, if only because it announces - loudly - that not only can women be action stars, but we already have one. Gina Carano is here and every day that passes without DC casting her as Wonder Woman is more money they are losing.

Sold as a high octane actioner, it's really a taught spy thriller. Then again, with Soderbergh at the helm, we probably should have known better. The movie has an admirable style and a handful of truly great scenes. Carano shines in the lead. It's amazing how well she's able to hold her own opposite these world class co-stars. The plot opts for "realism" over a straight-forward narrative, and while at times it's a subtlety that works wonders, other times it's a bit dry. Still, a very fine film.

A mechanic thriller by Soderbergh, full of his well-known tricks -- you know, lots of jazzy clips about betrayals and people talking about betrayals --, but Gina is here to offer something more: a physical persona that easily takes care of everyone who's trying to get her with some MMA moves.

It's OK but not a must watch. Gina Carano was enjoyable, but I think she's better in Deadpool. It's been a couple of months since I watched it and I've already almost completely forgotten it.

The definition of a one-note, excellent film. Both is better than neither, but naturally I'd rather have the latter without the former. Gina Carano is thankfully a highlight, and holds her own against the series of Supermen.
