Haywire is a well-woven extravaganza of ass-kicking. Director Steven Soderbergh made the inspired decision to cast MMA champ Gina Carano as his lead, a covert ops agent who's been framed for murder. To save her life, she must repeatedly beat down the likes of Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, and  Ewan McGregor across Barcelona, Dublin, and New Mexico. Cerano just might be the next action hero – she's not a pretty actress pretending to fight; she's a ferocious yet graceful fighter who does all her own stunts and also happens to be gorgeous. Masterful direction by Soderbergh and a simple but intelligent script by Lem Dobbs (The Limey) make Haywire a thinking person's popcorn movie.
