Haywire Movie Trailer PictureShe's not immune to cuts and bruises, although a cup of Mallory may be a super soldier, but she realistically takes a beating like a normal human being. Now, using her expert training and lethal abilities, Mallory must seek out those responsible for her betrayal while dodging assassins, the police, and treacherous killers from her past. Once there, she's partnered with the mysterious freelance mercenary Paul (Michael Fassbender) for a seemingly routine operation, but soon discovers she's been set up and someone wants her dead. After a successful hostage rescue mission in Barcelona, covert operative Mallory Kane (Gina Carano) finds herself quickly dispatched to Ireland by her handler Kenneth (Ewan McGregor).
Haywire Movie Trailer ImageThe plot is overly straightforward and the supporting characters (with bigger names) are underwhelming, but with such an authentic protagonist, the entertainment is in her intrepid resolve and in the jazzy score that recalls classier action films of decades past. MMA fighter Gina Carano ably batters her opponents around the screen in several well choreographed sequences while also posing a likeable and endearing protagonist, despite her character's predictable motives and ideals. With Haywire, we finally find an action film with the novel idea of actually casting a believable actress to portray its former marine turned contract killer heroine. Oftentimes seeing women like this in methodically staged fights requires a more strained suspension of disbelief.
We've seen actresses like Angelina Jolie embody the tough as nails, ass kicking spy in Salt and Scarlett Johannson don the Black Widow's garb and dish out her fair share of martial arts mayhem in Iron Man 2.
