"Haywire" Review

In a follow-up to my previous post on this movie (sort of), here's the first review of "Haywire" I've come across.

Mallory is not a simple ass-kicking alpha female though, a common archetype that is so often just a male stereotype in the skin of a female action hero, and there are crucial moments when her fragility and emotional range is evident. She is hurt at times, both emotionally and physically, revealing a more complex and truer depth to her character. Haywire is not a heavy-handed essay piece though, it’s a super slick action movie which is just thankfully as intelligently thought out as it is entertaining.

The review is very positive and, surprisingly, even speaks well of Gina Carano's acting.  I hope it's true, that this is a good movie and it succeeds at the box office - mostly because I enjoy good action flicks, but also because I hope this reverses the anorexic action heroine trend.

Here's another trailer.
