My thoughts on the film
‘Haywire’ definitely takes a different approach than the old, blow ‘em up; shoot ‘em up Hollywood-type films. I quite enjoyed the cinematography. The different camera angles and the few scenes where no one talked for a good five minutes, but still piece together the storyline, really got me interested. I wish there was more that got me interested. Gina Carano, who plays Mallory Kane, is actually a retired mixed martial arts fighter, so you can see why she kicks some ass in ‘Haywire’, but unfortunately, not a whole lot of ass. ‘Haywire’ was slow and didn’t have too much action, but still made you think to keep you somewhat interested. It definitely is a movie where you have to pay some attention too or else you may be lost.
Rating 2/5
‘Haywire’ didn’t impress me a whole lot. Other than the neat cinematography and the few ass-kicking scenes by Gina Carano, the storyline just wasn’t enough to keep me interested. I would pass on this one.
'Haywire' is now in theatres. Check your local theatre for showtimes.
If you're still going to head out to the theatres to watch it, come back here and let me know what you think!
