"Haywire is, in some thin regard, like the grown up sister of Sucker Punch. It's more of a meditative MA film, with very little MA (like The American meets UFC). Consequently, the casting of Gina Carano is a little bit eye-brow raising; it's not as if you needed a pro-fighter to execute these basic set pieces. Still, I think with her unemotional badassery she was a credit to the whole aloof nature of the movie. Gina Carano got swagger and is obviously very, very believable when she kicks ass, but Haywire is a bit on the slowish side. It's probably still better than Sucker Punch though."
