Review – Haywire

Every once in awhile something floats to the top of my Netflix queue that I have no memory of adding. Sometimes I can’t even figure out why I might have added it to begin with. Perhaps with this one it was a desire to see something like Hitman or the Bourne series only with a female protagonist. The director does a reasonably good job with hand-to-hand combat sequences, which is a good thing because there are a lot of them. The plot, on the other hand, is weak, standard fare. They should have cut back the budget for Hollywood B-list stars in the supporting cast and spent a little more on the screenwriter. Mildly amusing
