First the Rock, than John Cena, than Stone Cold and now Gina Carano looks like all professional fighters are now heading up to the tinsel town to become big actors.

Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Haywire’ is starring Gina Carano a Muay Thai Record is 12-1-1 Wins/Lost/Draw. MMA Record is 7-1-0. In other words a proper a** kicker.

But in this movie Gina is not the big surprise it’s the star studded supporting cast (all of them villains) that gives me the shivers. IncludingChanning Tatum, Michael Fassbinder, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Michael Angarano, BillPaxton. That is a lot of talent in one place.

The story is as thick as it gets, a government funded assassin who does the govt’s dirty work (or wet work) is betrayed by her team and her handlers and now is on the self-assigned mission of clearing not only her name but also bringing down her previous acquaintances, using her training, skills, tricks and ‘other abilities’ to evade an international man hunt and get back home to save her family.
