Day 164: Haywire


After finding out she has been sold out by her handler, Mallory Kane (Gina Carano) is focused on working out why.

The story was boring, I won’t lie to you. And yet I wasn’t bored at all. Sometimes it’s just good to watch a mindless fighting film, you know? The fighting itself was impressive and well directed, I’d say. I’m not sure whether or not I liked the lack of sound in those scenes though. Sometimes music was used, or all you could hear was far away grunting. It seemed odd but interesting at the same time, so I’ve yet to make up my mind with that. The acting was passable but nowhere near as good as would be expected, considering the cast. Gina Carano is a MMA fighter in real-life and she is a beauty to watch when she’s fighting in this film. It's worth watching it just to see her, really.

The picture up top is the moment after she strangles him with her thighs and before she shoots him in the face. Intense moment.

    Banderas looks great with a beard.
    Look at her chasing him! She's such a badass.
    She bites her lip a lot.
    Ewan sounds so weird with an American accent. Like his throat is being stepped on.
    I want to be an assassin type person. Seems like such a sexy job.
    Amelie's boyfriend? With a beard!
    Jesus, punched her right in the back. Come on, babe. You can take him! Bloody hell, she is so impressive.
    Strangled him with her thighs and shot him in the face, son of a bitch!
    Dude, it's so obvious you're following her.
    She can run so fast. Why am I so impressed by that?
    Why would she be telling this stranger all about it?
    DEER.
    Ha, the call is coming from inside the house.
    When would she have had the time to put her hair in corn rows?
    Wow, leaving him to drown. Such a badass."
