The opening scene in Haywire gets the heart racing with an unexpected
violent brawl—and it never lets up. Mallory Kane, a female covert
ops specialist, is on the run and recounts her harrowing week to a
chivalrous stranger. In flashbacks, Kane, played by mixed martial arts
champion Gina Carano [1], is seen leading two dangerous assignments
overseas before being double-crossed. To discover the truth, protect
her family and clear her name she heads back home. Steven Soderbergh
direct the action across several continents (making for an easy Bourne
comparison) and nimble, artsy editing makes it easy on the eyes.

As Soderbergh's proved before, with films like Erin Brockovich and
Out of Sight,  he excels when presenting strong female characters. 
Writer Lem Dobbs keeps the dialogue sparse, leaving stunt coordinator
R.A. Rondell and choreographer J.J. Perry to showcase thrilling the
hand-to-hand combat and tense chase scenes. The battles feel real, as
opposed the special effect laden productions you're likely to find
in the rest of the movies currently in theaters.

Watching Kane outwit and outmatch everyone in her path, even her own
father, never gets boring. One adversary warns, "Don't think of
her as being a woman, that would be a mistake," but she's no
robot.  The character cares for people and shows emotion thanks to
Carano's brilliant debut and a supporting cast of A-listers
including Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, and Bill
Paxton.  Clever, fun, and surprising, if not exactly memorable,
you'll walk out energized, and like many characters in the film,
wondering just what hit you.

*REEL FASHION:* Shoshana Rubin, adept at costuming the vigorous women
on television's Rizzoli & Isles, keeps Carano's style mobile and
battle-ready, even in a gorgeous black evening dress.

*EMULATE:* The clever accent of a graceful pin to set yourself apart.
