Not to mention the movie treated the audience like a bunch of children. Want to know who the bad guy is? Why don't we put up a picture of the first villain in the movie and literally write "BAD GUY" next to him. Seriously. That is what they did.
Okay, I just saw this movie, and how the hell did it manage to get an overall rating of A? The film and sound editing was choppy and over-the-top. The music is distracting and deters the audience away from the realization that absolutely nothing is being said. The acting was sub-par but was held back tremendously by a piss-pour screenplay that features banal lines such as "You better run" as Gina broods over a landscape shot. Seriously? This isn't film school. In fact, this was worse.
You did it to me again. I usually agree with you and so when you give a film a grade of A I just have to see it. But I just watched Haywire and all I have to say is WTF? I could give it a C at best. There were only about four fight scenes and the rest was just talk. I understand your taste, I do. You think Drive was the best film of 2011. Most disagree with that, in fact, it didn't even get nominated for an Oscar. But okay, those are your tastes. But Haywire should get the bad acting award.
I have no idea how this movie got an "A" but it was one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. The first were really good but other than that it was horrible. The plot was REALLY BORING and Gina Carano made me want to walk out of the theater each time she opened her mouth. I suggest you save your time and money and not watch this movie, but if you really want to watch it just wait til it comes out on DVD.
Let me ruin the movie for everyone, the part where she drops down behind Antonio Banderes is the end of the movie, which ends with him saying "Oh shit" this movie was extremely boring, the fight scenes were on point but that couldn't save it from a boring plot and ginas in ability to read lines
Interesting, I was expecting maybe a "B" grade or a "B+" mainly because judging by the trailers, it looked like a typical "B" action movie. I may consider renting this, then again maybe seeing it at a matinee. Great Review Richard, You Rock!!!
The movie was not great, the only positive thing I can say is the fight scenes were the mostr realistic of any female fighter. Ginas acting was like that movie The Room, her delivery was weird they dubbed her voice and it was obvious because you could see her lips moving slightly in certain scenes. I don't get why they give this movie such good reviews it was just ok but like home video style. How does Channing Tatum get so many roles? He can't act, has no charisma, and a small fan base.
@1Novatrek I found it underwhelming. For a film that's all about the fight scenes, the fight scenes weren't very entertaining or exciting. It may have had to do with the sound mixing. The punches and kicks didn't land with the same amount of intensity as they do in the Bourne films for instance.
I enjoyed SALT, Resident Evil franchise, Kill Bill and Columbiaina SO this film should suit fans who love to see women kick major as*. Gina Carano looks real appealing.
Is it just me or a lot of action movies in 2010-2012 look like they're making their own verson of Jason Borne. Movies such as Salt, Colombiana and now this one. All these movies got the females doing the awesome stunts! Sweet! I think it's a great change, cause a lot males like Matt Damon and Tom Cruise do this type of stuff.
im glad to hear this is a good flick most films that star a sports star usually is ......(space jam, Steel, Kazaam, The condemned, suburban commando) are not very good
What a boring, stock, generic pile of garbage this movie was!!

@RelapsedX12 I agree this movie sucks.. Boring. Not her real voice. Pointless. Watch a Thai action film instead of this.
