> After director Steven Soderberg handed off helming September’s Moneyball, he’s<br />
taken a string of high pedigree actioners, most of them (apparently) without room for<br />
his trademark panache. So, following in the antiseptic action of Contagion is Haywire, a<br />
spy-gone-rogue thriller with a cast that glitters with names like Michael Fassbender and<br />
Ewan McGregor. If Soderberg does with this cast what he’s done with the last few amazing<br />
ensembles (think: Traffic, the Oceans franchise) he’ll go out of his way to make them look<br />
iconic, but unkempt (no skin looks good under his harsh blues and yellows). The heroine<br />
of Haywire (Gina Carano) is a ronin of sorts, a freelance operative sent on a job to Dublin<br />
where she’s double-crossed and has to run to the States to protect her family. No one wants<br />
to secure her comeupance. There will be international intrigue and the jet-setting that<br />
makes spy thrillers so glammy, but what Soderberg’s done to make Haywire stand out is<br />
cast Carano, a celebrity in the world of Mixed Martial Arts—she’s not a traditional choice,<br />
but boy can she pack a punch. Soderberg’s working again with Lemm Dobbs, the epic<br />
screenwriter responsible for many films including his own 1999 homage to the British<br />
gangster The Limey—and it’s a surprise to see them together because if you’ve ever listened<br />
to the commentary tracks for that Terrence Stamp drama, you’d think Dobbs would avoid<br />
working with the Oceans director at all cost. But the smartest films come from tense<br />
collaborations and that, among other things, makes Haywire (previously titled Knockout)<br />
sound more promising than its January opening date. (more On the Horizon on page 66)<br />
