Haywire
This film served to showcase the mixed martial arts primitive fighting
skills of the lead actress. It's a mindless martial arts movie sporting
some nice supporting talent (McGregor, Douglas) but ultimately revolving around fight scenes and stunts.
I couldn't figure out whether this was meant to be a superhero movie or not. The main girl had her head struck against so many walls, chairs and fists without suffering concussion that I began to suspect that she was some kind of superhero-spy character. Even James Bond is not quite this unrealistic.
Halfway through the film there was a token attempt to feminize the lead actress but this failed; with the result looking like a man in drag.
