By the look of the trailer for Haywire, the plot seems to be Gina Carono kicks everyone’s butt. The end! However, further research will tell you that there is a little bit of plot to go along with the ass beatings. Gina Carono is a black ops super soldier who is betrayed and set up during a mission. Now people are out to kill her and she is out to kill them. Whoo! Haywire is packing a pretty good cast including Gina Carono, Michael “Young Magneto” Fassbender, Ewan “Don’t Call Me Obi-Wan” McGregor, Michael Douglas, Bill “Game Over” Paxton, Antonio Banderas, and Channing “Step Up” Tatum.

I’m all for an action heroine with some meat on her bones, who looks like she could actually throw a punch or take one. But I hope to god Soderbergh backs the camera up and locks it down for the fight scenes, so we can actually see what’s going on for a change.
There was a Don “The Dragon” Wilson movie called NIGHT HUNTER years back where they shook the camera furiously during every fight as if to convince you something exciting was taking place. Who’da thunk Hollywood would actually take that silliness and run with it as long as they have…
Already feel like I’ve seen this movie a dozen times over. Just with other names in it. *yawn*
