WTI: Haywire

Director Steven Soderbergh is back to cure your crappy-January-new-release blues with Haywire, a film that stars ex MMA fighter Gina Carano as a tough-as-nails secret spy-type of person. And the film is great! Kurt Halfyard explains why it's always cool to see female-driven action movies succeed on multiple levels, and suggests you watch an old-school Shaw Brothers flick that fits this description should you not make it out to see Haywire.

And that is Soderbergh's greatest weakness: his lack of substance in his films. Theyre all pretty A to B (most of them anyway), all just a bunch of experimentations by a man looking at film coldly as just another art medium, exploring it like a painter would with different oils just to see how he can challenge the idea of a canvas. No wonder he's bored with Over the Shoulder Shots. He has no story to tell.
