Re: Haywire
I'm truly baffled how anyone could claim this is a decent film, let alone a good one.

Maybe it is just the reverse effect when critcis rant about a film and the p*ying customers don't.

Also Falkirk, Dunfermline and Stirling but these are rarely used for free previews.

Re: Haywire
Maybe they accidentally showed the deleted scenes at the screenings, hence the lack of plot etc etc....

I can watch MMA for that or even WWE. Just because scripted fight scenes are included into a film doesn't elevate a poor product. You'd never guess that from these reviews though.
I think part of the problem is too many of the guys who sit around in cinemas all day just really want to f**k Gina Carano. And hey, I get that, but it doesn't mean that she has any business "acting".

Re: Haywire
I guess I'm going to have to go against nearly all of the reviews on this site and confess to really liking this film.
Yes, I will admit that the plot and dialogue was not exactly scintillating, nevertheless I really enjoyed the film despite not wanting to f..k Gina Carano!
I definitely liked the fact that the fight scenes were not over-cooked and were rather natural. Perhaps the knowledge that Gina is a real MMA artist and was doing all her own stunts added to the excitement for me? I have to say I loved seeing her expertly kick-ass.
Overall I would give it 6.5-7.0 out of 10.

Re: Haywire
I am sure it did! I had no idea who this woman was and I just thought, well she is fighting weird this black op lady... nobody really jump on a wall before jumping on someone!rawsalsa wrote: Perhaps the knowledge that Gina is a real MMA artist and was doing all her own stunts added to the excitement for me?
.
I found the fight scenes too long and rather unpleasant; but them I am not really a fan of mixed martial art!
I was also really shocked that Fass face did not at all show that he got his ass (and incidently his face!) kicked pretty badly... and then not a redness, puffiness (have you ever received a punch, slap or just an elbow (that happened!) directly on your arch???) or even a drop of blood!
I have to say this kind of kick-assery thingie is rather turning me off... what is wrong with you, men!soonforgotten wrote: I think part of the problem is too many of the guys who sit around in cinemas all day just really want to f**k Gina Carano
