'Haywire' (2011)

Shop Amazon - Best Sellers - Blu-Ray Players


 
Mallory Kane is a professional.  Working for a government contractor, she has been given a covert operation by her handler to perform the types of jobs governments never acknowledge.  Following a hostage rescue in Barcelona, Kane is sent immediately on another mission to Dublin.  As the mission begins to fall apart, Kane realizes that she has been double crossed.  It will take every skill and ability in her arsenal to return to the United States, protect her father and find those responsible for her situation with deadly force if necessary.


Review:  If you love action flicks with tough chicas, then this is going to be a thrill for you.  Think the Borne series with a beautiful woman who is just as skilled and elusive.  A former marine and daughter of a father who was also in the corps, Mallory Kane is a heroine you can cheer for.  Good action scenes with very realistic mixed martial arts fight scenes, proving that having a weapon other than your hands and feet aren't necessary.

(Our rating) 



Genre:  Action, Thriller
Rated R for some violence


Starring: Gina Carano, Channing Tatum, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Ewan McGregor
  • Official site
  • Family Guide:  Sexual situation implied, brief scenes of wounds, realistic mixed martial arts sequences, few exchanges of cursing, alcohol consumption, smoking, violence, use of weapons.  This movie could have easily been rated PG-13 if not for some graphic fight scenes and four examples of pervasive language.
  • Produced by:  Relativity Media (as Relativity), Bord Scannan na hEireann/Irish Film Board
  • Distributed by:  Lionsgate Home Entertainment (2012) (USA) (DVD) (Blu-ray)
