critics’ consensus: Haywire – a good genre jaunt for Soderbergh & Gina Carano is your new action heroine

 RICHARD ROEPER: (Grade: A) -”Haywire a refreshing changeup (from quick-cuts and stunt-doubling in action films)…plays like an indy version of franchises such as Mission:Impossible.“ -”Gina Carano makes a spectacular debut…a few line readings are a bit flat, but she has an enormously appealing, natural screen presence…think The Rock, only way cuter…a memorable debut” (ReelzChannel) ROGER EBERT – Sun Times: (3 out of 4 stars) -”Carano can hold her own…I expect her to become a considerable box-office success, because the fact is, within a limited range, she’s good.” -”Haywire has no lasting significance…but(is) a first-rate genre thriller.” – Peter Travers – Rolling Stone: (3.5 out of 4 stars) “She more than holds her own with the big boys…Carano is poetry in kick-ass motion.” “Haywire comes close to achieving Soderbergh’s goal of creating “a Pam Grier movie made by Alfred Hitchcock.”

AFI Festival ‘Haywire’ screening and star panel: videos, pics and reviews

The AFI fest’s secret screening took place yesterday and the film was none other than ‘Haywire’. It’s star, new action heroine Gina Carano, director Steven Soderbergh, noted actors Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender were the special guests on hand. “…A handsome, black-haired hardbody who wears an evening dress as easily as she does a hoodie, Carano exudes the sort of self-confidence and physical wherewithal that leaves no doubt she can prevail in any situation…In this, Haywire entirely and winningly succeeds…The script makes no attempt to assert its plausibility or realism; it is, instead, refreshingly frank about what it is, a simple, workable framework for the melees and mayhem…The fine use of locations, elegantly mobile shooting style and hair-trigger editing are all in line with what one expects from Soderbergh…The director shrewdly determined what she could and perhaps couldn’t do, and she delivered with a turn that makes other actresses who have attempted such roles, no matter how toned and buff they became, look like pretenders.” – Todd McCarthy (HollywoodReporter.com)                        (credit: JChap2, Lara, GGB, O_O, & swinjen) CLICK BELOW FOR:  VIDEO PART 2, MORE PICS & REVIEWS…

‘Knockout’ film set: Gina Carano, Antonio Banderas and Ewan McGregor – candid Barcelona pics & videos *updated 03-01

(updated 03-01) Gallery link video link 1 video link 2 Malaga City born actor- Antonio Banderas (sporting a beard and white coat) took part Wednesday  in the shooting of the film ‘Knockout’  by director Steven Soderbergh before an expectant crowd and many extras in the Reial Plaza of Barcelona. The actor was with his co-star Gina Carano (of professional fighting) in the espionage film. Soderbergh was seen in the morning near the Rambla del Raval, Ample street and George Orwell Plaza, sites that will also be shot. Antonio Banderas, who since coming to Barcelona is used to roaming the city and has been seen in restaurants of the olympic port, reached the central square of Barcelona in a black minivan. In the new film by Soderbergh, the Oscar-winning author of ‘Traffic’ (2000), Banderas heads an elite European unit that investigates Mallory Kane, the character played by nonprofessional actress Gina Carano. ‘Knockout’ has actors the  likes of Michael Douglas and Ewan McGregor, both of whom are not in the city these days because their scenes do not take place in the Catalan capital. source: WENN, imnotobsessed.com, elmundo.es, lainformacion.com credit: GiJoCo & unbreakable
