Haywire
Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Ewan McGregor, Gina Carano
Here we have yet another spy thriller about a femme agent gone rogue, as well as yet another movie directed by “retiring” Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh. But it contains one element that separates it from the pack of generic thrillers: newcomer Carano, the spectacularly sexy mixed-martial artist who deserves a robust Hollywood career. It’s one thing to watch Angelina Jolie “kick ass” in an action movie, but when Carano, a real-life MMA star, throws down, your eyes don’t roll so much as go wide. She could probably take Matt Damon, if not Jason Bourne.
