Leave your thoughts about Haywire.
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiBeautifully conceived and executed and featuring a star whom it is virtually impossible to tear your eyes away from (even as she is tearing away at the eyes of others) |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsThis isn't just the best action film since Bourne, it also exudes the sort of flair and cool of a 60s Bond movie. A class act. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesSoderbergh takes the opportunity to write a trim visual essay on attack and retreat. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversHaywire comes close to achieving Soderbergh's goal of creating "a Pam Grier movie made by Alfred Hitchcock." |
| Austin American-StatesmanCharles EalyA maze that keeps leading to surprising places. |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersThere is no fat here, no extra material in need of being excised. The movie begins with a furious frenzy finding Mallory extricating herself from an altercation in a tiny roadside café and then moves backwards from there. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThis spy action film features some great fight scenes and stunts. It is edited right down to the bone and the production is about as slick as anything in recent years. Emotionally, however, it is on the cold side. |
| MovielineStephanie ZacharekThat she makes it all look so effortless is part of the fun – as long as you're not unlucky enough to be the guy with his nut in the nutcracker. |
| Dark HorizonsGary DowellStandard spy-fi fare presented in a very atypical style. |
| Bryant Frazer's Deep FocusBryant FrazerSoderbergh's approach is a little too stripped-down - when you're making a conventional genre movie, the absence of conventional genre elements becomes distracting in itself. |
