“haywire” is in theaters where gina carano kicks some dudes really hard and looks pretty doing it
its supposed to take mixed martial arts, whatever that is now, to the big screen and put it in story form
but whoever was behind the rest of it didnt know what the hell to do with this woman when she wasn’t swinging her tree trunks around like paul bunyan fending off horny ‘ol “babe” after a long night of campfire cuddling
the story is this — some writer decides to script a kick-ass woman with her character trait being “no character trait”… because obviously just being a woman who can fight is enough character for this guy, and mma chick carano enters the world of acting with nothing but some lines about her secret past and a few scripted eye movements
obviously the assholes who piss on her because she licks her lips too much have never been tasked with heading a 25 million dollar film, given a script that says shit-all about who this woman is except “cold snatch” and a director who thinks retarded girl-power is enough fuel to power a film for 90 minutes, so please shut up and buy her some lip balm and blame the source
but farty liberal critics — 80 percent of them — are happy to see the retarded girl-power fuel pellets burning at full capacity, keeping the church of political correctness slightly warmer than ass-cold, except last i checked the internet kiosk at the greyhound station the audiences were giving this action rag a 44 percent rating
– the polygon soldiers of p.c. who are paid near-six-figure salaries to watch this yogurt give it an 80%
– the chauvinist jocks who would gladly pay $30 to watch fifteen minutes of gina carano on live tv give it a 44%
which do you trust? and which would you try to cater to next time?
handing a female protagonist an entire film and tossing her character (figuratively) out the window even goes against my grain, because if im forced to listen to this woman rattle on for 90 minutes it better be at least mildly entertaining because theres not enough whiskey in the bottle to make me sit through this conversation again
i hope the action team can show their colors better next time because they did what they could, but theres only so much you can do with material like this
