3 things about Steven Soderbergh’s HAYWIRE

Haywire [2011]

1. He stands at the edge of the hangar; as he talks, she warily circles him. In the background a tumbleweed scuds past. The perfect detail.
2. They slam into the couch, which tips onto its back, and roll across the floor. The perfect cut.
3. He turns around, noticing her, and says, “Shit.” The perfect ending.

  1. AWWWWW You gave away the ending!?
    Just kidding. This movie kinda had an “obvious” vibe to it, but I’m still going to see it. It looks like one of the first good female action movies since T2. I mean, the woman actually looks like she can fight.

      Well, yes, that’s how it ends–but it’s not really a spolier. Yes, Gina can kick some ass. The fight scenes are some of the best (and most realistic) I’ve ever seen. They’re especially unusual because Soderbergh doesn’t have any music on the soundtrack during the fights.
