I rent a lot of movies through Red Box and if I had taken the reviews of "Drive" seriously, I never would have seen it and I absolutely loved it. There are a ton of half star reviews for that movie. I just don't get it. It seems like everyone is desensitized and/or has ADD. I've liked most of Soderbergh's other movies and based on your review, I'm going to check out Haywire today.

It felt like an attempt to tell a story with a minimum of dialog. Gina Carano pulls off the role of badass operator effortlessly, but she is not yet strong enough of an actress to hold the leading role, even with several A-list actors behind her. Overall, I feel my expectations were mismatched, I went in expecting an action packed thriller. I came out feeling underwhelmed. A few badass fight scenes wrapped around a weak plot and not enough dialogue.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06806373917792735370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621435634260212224.post-41008937599588802722012-01-23T07:36:24.237-08:002012-01-23T07:36:24.237-08:00Thanks for your comment, Anonymous.

One of my best friends didn't much care for it either, but she didn't feel the need to accuse me of being a studio shill after seeing it based on my recommendation.<br /><br />As for your suggestion that I might be on the payroll of the distributors of Haywire, allow me to direct you <a href="http://alone-in-the-dark-pg.blogspot.com/2010/11/skyline-review.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>, <a href="http://www.s1play.com/cinema/film/the-spy-next-door/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://www.s1play.com/cinema/film/youth-in-revolt/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Paul Greenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840026472802251810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621435634260212224.post-60510138268096552712012-01-21T15:43:43.630-08:002012-01-21T15:43:43.630-08:00Are you mental this is worst movie ever

I am beginning to think reviewers are on the payroll of the studios if they giving rubbish like this 4 stars.i want my €19 backAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
