<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><em>Attack of the Werewolves</em> (<em>Lobos De Arga</em>) is a
Spanish comedy horror written and directed by Juan Martinez Moreno. It
is set in a remote village called Arga, where a 100-year-old curse
troubles the residents. Our protagonist Tomas (Gorka Otxoa) is an
unsuccessful writer who travels from Madrid back to the small village,
which he hasn’t visited since he was fifteen. He is the male descendent
of the ruthless Marchioness of Marino, his great-grandmother, who forced
herself on a gypsy knife thrower and became pregnant with his son. She
then destroyed the camp where he lived and killed all of the men, women,
and children. The gypsy’s wife put a curse on her, which caused her son
to transform into a werewolf.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The villagers of Arga have invited Tomas back to receive an award,
and he thinks it will be a good place to do some more writing. At first
he is welcomed with open arms, but things aren’t what they seem. The
locals want to sacrifice him to lift the century-old curse and rid
themselves of the terror that has haunted and hunted them for years.
According to the legend, if a male Marino is eaten by the creature
exactly 100 years after the curse was inflicted, the village will return
to normal. If not, an even worse curse threatens to befall the
residents.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Tomas is captured and thrown down into the tunnels beneath the
village with his publisher Mario (Secun de la Rosa). Calisto (Carlos
Areces), his childhood best friend, searches for them with the help of
Tomas’ loyal dog Vito. Tomas discovers the werewolf down in the dark and
barely escapes it. The group then have to flee from the villagers while
also trying to figure out how to put a stop to the dangerous curse.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><em>Attack of the Werewolves</em> is atmospheric, chilling, and also
really funny. There are a number of humorous scenes in the film, like
the villagers getting confused about the curses, Tomas trying to get a
phone signal, and the group’s unconventional attempts to lift the curse.
The comedy horror includes nods to classic werewolf films such as <em>An American Werewolf in London</em> and <em>The Wolf Man, </em>which obviously provided inspiration for Juan Martinez Moreno.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I love werewolves and they don’t get as much focus as other horror monsters such as vampires and zombies. <em>Attack of the Werewolves</em> is the best werewolf movie I’ve seen since the brilliant <em>Dog Soldiers</em>,
which is one of my favourite films. It has great physical make-up
effects rather than crappy CGI beasties and is very tongue-in-cheek but
with an effective <em>Wicker Man</em>-style tone. It also has solid
performances from the main cast (including the adorable dog), who play
very likeable characters. The film is suspenseful, with a
well-structured story, and good-looking locations. It does a great deal
with its limited budget and pays homage to legendary genre movies while
providing a fresh take on the werewolf film.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">UK-based design studio <a href="http://www.wearedorothy.com/shop/film-map-original-open-edition" target="_blank">Dorothy</a> has created a map with over 900 film titles as street names, parks, lakes, and other features. Loosely based on the style of a vintage Los Angeles street map, the 'Film Map' features a patch of grass called Jurassic Park, with Lake Placid and The Temple of Doom in it. It also features a large stretch of water called Reservoir Dogs, with Shutter Island and The Island of Dr. Moreau in the middle. An A-Z key at the base of
the map lists all of the films featured along with their release dates and directors.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">British romantic thriller <i>Comes a Bright Day</i> stars <i>Submarine</i>’s
Craig Roberts as Sam Smith, a young bellboy at the Mandarin Oriental
hotel in London. When his boss Mr Morgan sends him on an errand, to take
a watch belonging to one of the guests to a nearby jewellers to get it
adjusted, he pops into the café where his best friend Elliot works on
the way. There he is introduced to Mary (Imogen Poots) who spots the
expensive watch he has decided to slip on and tells him he should stop
by ‘Clara’, the exclusive jewellery boutique where she works, which just
so happens to be the place his boss told him to visit.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So off he goes to the jewellers, to eye up the sparkling gems and the
beautiful assistant Mary. Unfortunately, while he is there two armed
robbers, who call each other Cameron (Kevin McKidd) and Clegg (Josef
Altin) to hide their real names, burst in. The jewellery shop’s owner
Charlie (Timothy Spall) sounds the alarm and the police are soon on
their way, but after a shootout during which Clegg is shot in the foot,
the criminals retreat back inside. Getting caught up in this jewellery
heist-gone-wrong leaves Sam, Mary, and Charlie trapped inside, taken
hostage by the psychotic Cameron and his partner-in-crime as they look
for a way to escape.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Comes a Bright Day</i> is writer and director Simon Aboud’s
feature-length debut. He began his career as a writer for an advertising
agency, and does well with this low budget film, which restricts most
of its action to just one room. The confined environment is well-used
and tensions run high for the criminals and hostages who are all
trapped.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The failed robbery attempt at the jewellers isn’t the main focus of
the film; it’s more of a backdrop. It provides an opportunity for the
main characters to get to know each other, and there are lots of scenes
with Sam, Mary, and Charlie talking about their lives and their dreams.
Mary tells a touching story about the history of a ruby bracelet, which
offers some welcome escapism during the hostage situation.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The film is partly a coming of age story about Sam gaining the
confidence to achieve his dream of opening a restaurant with his friend,
and partly a love story about a chance encounter with Mary. These tend
to push the more thrilling criminal parts to the side, meaning the
supporting cast don’t get enough time to shine. Kevin McKidd’s disturbed
robber with a stutter is entertaining and intense but underused. The
complicated character enjoys listening to <i>Madame Butterfly</i>
while slowing sawing through a ceiling panel in the hopes of finding an
escape route. But his motivations are never explained and we don’t learn
much about him, which is a shame.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Comes a Bright Day</i> tries to juggle lots of elements and
genres, leaving some by the wayside slightly while others take centre
stage. Ultimately though it is still a very watchable British film with a
great cast, and it marks a promising debut from Simon Aboud.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Mark Pellington’s drama <em>I Melt With You</em> starts off as a
story about a group of male friends enjoying a getaway where they
consume copious amounts of alcohol and drugs. However, events take a
much darker turn around halfway through the film, when something from
the past comes back to haunt them.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The four men in their 40s, who all went to college together, reunite
for a week-long catch-up in a house overlooking the sea in Big Sur. Each
of them is happy to escape their normal lives for a hazy week of
drinking and drug-taking, as they are all unhappy, disillusioned, and
full of regrets.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Richard (Thomas Jane) is a womaniser and unsuccessful author who has
begrudgingly become a high school English teacher. Jonathan (Rob Lowe)
is a doctor who writes prescriptions for money and is becoming detached
from his son, who calls his new stepfather “Dad”. Ron (Jeremy Piven) is a
stock broker who is at the centre of a federal investigation. Tim
(Christian McKay) is a man who feels responsible for the recent loss of
his loved ones. None of these are really likeable or identifiable
characters, and the only positive attribute we see is their close
friendship and fondness for each other.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The friends go swimming, driving, fishing, and partying, but mainly
they drink and take drugs while moping around and complaining about how
awful their lives are. After a few days, these excessive and repetitive
festivities make way for much darker events, as a pact they all made
when they were younger re-emerges and things get even more out of
control. The pact that changes the tone of the film and the subsequent
events is a little hard to believe in. Would you really follow through
on an agreement you made in college when you were young (and probably
drunk and high)? They all take it a bit too seriously instead of just
dismissing it.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The film’s best feature is its soundtrack of punk music from the
‘80s. The roaring and pounding tunes from the likes of the Sex Pistols,
The Clash, The Pixies, Talking Heads, Dead Kennedys, and The Specials,
add to the drug-fuelled, hazy atmosphere. They hark back to a time that
the four men are pining for and help them to relive their youth, when
they were carefree and had fewer troubles.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><em>I Melt With You</em> is a visual assault that is full of angst
and excess. Eric Schmidt’s stylish cinematography and the picturesque
locations make it a fine-looking film, but at times it feels like an
overlong music video. This may have something to do with Mark
Pellington’s history directing lots of videos for bands including Pearl
Jam, U2, and Foo Fighters. <em>I Melt With You</em> is a treat for the
eyes and ears at times and it has a solid cast, but it’s a film of two
distinct halves and unfortunately neither of them are particularly
impressive story-wise.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>The Escapist</i> stars
Brian Cox in the lead role of Frank Perry, a convict serving a life sentence in
a London prison. Frank keeps his head down and doesn’t cause any trouble.
However, he unexpectedly receives the first letter for a very long time, informing him
that his daughter is near death after suffering a drug overdose. This bad news
makes him realise he needs to see his daughter again to make peace with her, so
he decides to break out and devises a plan of escape.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Frank brings a number of the other inmates in on his plan.
First he goes to Brodie (Liam Cunningham, who is brilliant as usual) who seems
to be his closest friend in prison. Brodie’s knowledge of the underground
tunnels comes in handy when planning their escape route. Edgy boxer and former
thief Lenny Drake (Joseph Fiennes), new boy Lacey (Dominic Cooper) and Batista
(Seu Jorge), who concocts and deals drugs in the prison, are also brought
on-board. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Unfortunately, another convict called Tony (Steven
Mackintosh) discovers what they are up to and threatens to tell his brother,
the menacing Rizza (Damian Lewis), who rules the prison while the guards look
the other way. The group need to find a way to keep Tony quiet if they want to
make it out to freedom.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Brian Cox is solid and sympathetic as <i>The Escapist</i>’s emotional core and his fellow inmates are played by
a talented supporting cast. The action inside the claustrophobic London prison
switches between the events before and during the breakout. The scenes showing
the escape set up questions for the viewer to ponder, which are answered
throughout the course of the film in the interspersed flashbacks. The rush of
the breakout mixes well with the anxious planning stages. The film uses a very
effective past-and-present structure and good editing, and it adds a great
final plot twist. Benjamin Wallfisch’s excellent score helps to heighten the moments
of tension with its intensity and sense of urgency.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>The Escapist</i> was
directed by Rupert Wyatt, a British talent who followed this debut feature with
<i>Rise of the Planet of the Apes</i>. Wyatt
also co-wrote the film with Daniel Hardy and has said that the structure of the
film’s plot was inspired by a well-known short story written in the 19<sup>th</sup>
century: American author Ambrose Bierce’s <i>An
Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge</i>. Frank Perry is shown reading this story and
he shows it to Rizza near the end of the film. It is set during the American
Civil War and also features an irregular time sequence and a twist ending.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>The Escapist</i> is a thrilling
and clever prison drama with an innovative plot structure. Add to that a range
of interesting characters, an impressive cast and engaging music, and you have
a refreshingly enjoyable escape film.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">British comedy drama <i>The
Best Exotic Marigold Hotel</i> features a stellar cast including Judi Dench,
Bill Nighy and Tom Wilkinson, who play a group of retirees who travel to the
titular hotel in India. At the beginning of the film, we are introduced to all
of the main characters in a series of short vignettes that show their different
situations in the UK and their reasons for moving abroad.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Evelyn (Judi Dench)’s husband has recently passed away and
she needs to sell their flat to pay off his debts. Douglas (Bill Nighy)
invested his retirement money in his daughter’s internet start-up, which hasn’t
been very successful. His wife Jean (Penelope Wilton, who was also married to
Nighy’s character in <i>Shaun of the Dead</i>)
isn’t impressed with the retirement properties they can afford in the UK.
Graham (Tom Wilkinson) has just retired as a judge and is returning to the
place where he lived when he was younger. Muriel (Maggie Smith) needs a hip
replacement. Norman (Ronald Pickup) and Madge (Celia Imrie) are both single and
looking for love and new adventures.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">They are all enticed by advertisements for ‘The Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel for the elderly & beautiful’, which looks impressive and
vibrant, and is less expensive than places in the UK. When they arrive, they
discover that it’s not what they were led to believe as the hotel is rundown, dusty,
and in need of some serious restoration. Sonny (Dev Patel), the young man who
owns it, is trying to renovate it and is very happy when his first tenants move
in. Sonny’s brothers have successful businesses but so far he has failed to
live up to his mother’s expectations. She wants him to give up his dreams about
the hotel and agree to an arranged marriage. He is in love with a young woman
called Sunaina but his mother disapproves of her.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Some of the retirees embrace the new culture while others
take an instant dislike to it and don’t want to try new things. Graham is the
one who seems most at home there and his story about his past in the country is
very moving. As they start to forge bonds with each other and explore their
colourful surroundings, each of their stories heads towards a resolution. These
are mostly satisfying, if a little predictable. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Directed by John Madden (<i>Shakespeare
in Love, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin</i>), <i>The
Best Exotic Marigold Hotel</i> is based on Deborah Moggach’s novel <i>These Foolish Things</i>. It features eight
different stories, with some getting a little side-lined along the way. It
would have been good to see more of Madge and Norman, who have a number of
great lines, including Norman misquoting Ivan Drago from <i>Rocky IV</i>: “If she dies, she dies.” Although this would’ve meant
adding to the already long running time. The film ends predictably but
optimistically, with everything working out as expected. As Sonny says: “Everything
will be all right in the end, and if it not alright, it is not yet the end.” It
is the talented cast and beautiful scenery that make this charming tale
enjoyable, especially for older audiences. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Gary Oldman recently appeared in a funny sketch on <i>Jimmy Kimmel Live</i>, expressing his opinion about athletes who appear in movies. On behalf of the fictional 'Actors Against Acting Athletes' organisation, he rants:</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">"Just as I, Gary Oldman, actor,
would never try and join an NBA team just because I'm famous... I, Gary Oldman, would very much appreciate it if professional
basketball players would stay the f*** out of movies!"</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">He ends by throwing a basketball at a hoop on the wall and missing, before aiming more expletives at the camera and walking off. Check out the spoof in the video below:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">A modern retelling of one of Shakespeare’s lesser known
tragedies, <i>Coriolanus</i> is the
directorial debut of Ralph Fiennes, who also stars as the titular General. The
contemporary tale of war, politics, and betrayal begins with civil discontent
and a food crisis. An urban war zone is the setting for an action-packed battle
between the Romans and the Volscians, with close quarters combat culminating in
an intense knife fight between Caius Martius (Fiennes) and Volscian leader
Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler). They both escape with their lives and Martius
takes the city of Corioles, returning to Rome a hero and named General
Coriolanus. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">After this celebrated victory, he is encouraged by his
controlling mother Volumnia (Vanessa Redgrave) and veteran politician Menenius
(Brian Cox) to follow a political career and seek the position of Consul. However,
tribunes Brutus (Paul Jesson) and Sicinius (James Nesbitt) conspire against him
and the people of the city turn on him. He tries to make peace with them but is
unable to do so, and is banished from Rome. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">He travels to Antium, the city where Tullus resides, and
sees his arch-enemy walking through the streets. In stark contrast to
Coriolanus, this man is clearly loved by his people, who hug him and shake his
hand as he walks past. Coriolanus turns himself over to Tullus, offering his
life or his service. Tullus chooses to use his knowledge and skills to strike
Rome and they join together. Coriolanus, fuelled by anger, plans to take his
revenge on his city and those who cast him out.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Ralph Fiennes played Coriolanus back in 2000, in a
production for the Almeida Theatre, and felt it would work well on the big
screen. He worked with screenwriter John Logan (<i>Gladiator, The Last Samurai</i>) to cut Shakespeare’s text, modernise
the story, and keep the pacing tight. The play has been updated with
contemporary settings, costumes and props, and TV news reports are used
effectively to summarise key plot points (with a cameo from Channel 4
newsreader Jon Snow).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Coriolanus is established as a great soldier and leader who
is very ambitious, inflexible, and proud. This pride and his refusal to
compromise inevitably lead to his downfall, as he is unable to win the approval
of the masses. He doesn’t care what the citizens think of him and feels only
scorn towards them, even though he has won many battles and suffered many
wounds on their behalf. Fiennes gives a commanding performance as this surly
hero, who clearly prefers war to politics. Vanessa Redgrave is magnetic as
Coriolanus’ patriotic mother Volumnia, and Brian Cox, Gerard Butler and Jessica
Chastain offer strong support as well. Fiennes’ masterful understanding of the
play’s narrative, themes and language, and the talented cast make the material
accessible and engaging for viewers, even those who might find the text a
little challenging.</span></div>

found-footage superhero movie that explores what happens after a group of high
school students gain amazing abilities. It starts out like a teen drama, with a
shy young guy called Andrew buying a video camera to film his daily events. Through
this, we are given a glimpse into his difficult home-life with his drunk,
abusive father and bedridden mother. We are also shown his school-life, where
he gets picked on and is often seen sitting by himself.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">His cousin Matt takes him along to a party but he inevitably
ends up sitting alone outside in the dark. Steve, a popular kid running for
school president, finds him and asks him to bring his camera so they can
investigate something strange nearby. Andrew, Matt and Steve venture down into a
mysterious hole in the ground, where they discover an unexplained glowing (and
possibly alien) entity. The three students soon find they have gained special
powers like being able to move objects with their mind (telekinesis) and fly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Instead of using their abilities to fight crime, like the
superheroes we usually see on screen, they use them to have fun and do things
high school boys like to do. They play pranks in a store by levitating toys,
covertly lift girls' skirts up with a leaf blower, and move people’s cars to
different parking spaces. However, these harmless pranks start to get out of
hand as they grow stronger and develop their powers.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Andrew uses his abilities at the school talent show and
becomes popular with everyone for the first time. But this turns out to be only
temporary, and after a run-in with his dad, he spirals out of control and starts
using his powers recklessly. His loneliness and anger cause him to resent those
without superpowers (who he sees as inferior), and he becomes unwilling to
follow anyone else’s rules and limit the use of his powerful abilities. He is
clearly very troubled emotionally, after years of being an outcast and feeling
unwanted both at home and at school. This detachment and his newfound powers
cause him to think that he is above everyone else (he describes himself as an “apex
predator”), which ultimately leads up to a dark and explosive climax for the
film. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Chronicle</i> marks
the directorial debut of Josh Trank and is the first feature length screenplay
by Max Landis (son of John, director of <i>The</i>
<i>Blues Brothers</i> and <i>An American Werewolf in London</i>). The
film is a great accomplishment by these newcomers, with its intriguing premise
and exploration of an effective origin story. It gives viewers a fresh take on
both the found-footage film and the superhero genre, with special abilities
that feel more believable than usual. It raises the question of what to do when
given great power and shows why you need to use it responsibly, not misuse it.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Gina Carano takes the lead
in the action thriller <i>Haywire</i>, which
features a starry cast including Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, Antonio
Banderas, Bill Paxton, Michael Douglas and Channing Tatum in support.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Haywire</i> follows
Mallory Kane (Carano), a black ops specialist often hired for covert missions
around the world. At the start of the film, she meets with fellow operative
Aaron (Tatum) in a diner, before fighting with him, and escaping with a stranger
who helps her out. As she drives away with him, she explains what has led to
her current situation. The film, which uses a non-linear narrative structure,
shows these prior events in flashbacks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Her handler Kenneth (McGregor) hired her for a job in
Barcelona, where she worked alongside Aaron to free a Chinese hostage called
Jiang. After this mission she had planned to take a break, but Kenneth asked
her to go to Dublin at short notice, to work with MI6 agent Paul (Fassbender).
Kane finds Jiang dead in Dublin and then Paul tries to kill her when they go
back to their hotel room. She is pursued across the city, with chase scenes
through the streets, buildings, and across the rooftops, before she escapes to
New York, where we found her in the film’s opening scenes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Realising she has been double-crossed and there are few
people she can trust, she then flees to New Mexico to see her ex-marine father
(Paxton). She knows that those hunting
her will look for her there and attempts to catch them off guard and ultimately
exact her revenge on the people who betrayed her.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Directed by Steven Soderbergh (<i>Contagion, Traffic, Ocean’s Eleven</i>), <i>Haywire </i>was written by Lem Dobbs, who wrote the 1999 crime drama <i>The Limey</i>, which was also directed by
Soderbergh. Another of his collaborators, David Holmes (who was the composer on
the <i>Ocean’s</i> trilogy), provides the
score for the film.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Haywire</i> has some
great action set pieces, with fight scenes that feel authentic due to Carano’s
obvious skills, which make her character seem like the real deal. She was hand-picked
for the lead role by Soderbergh, who was impressed by her physical power and
fighting skills, and she did almost all of her own stunts in the film. Mallory
Kane is a tough female character who definitely shouldn’t be underestimated. As
her handler says in the film: “Don’t think of her as a woman, that would be a
mistake.” The no-frills fight scenes are unhurried and enjoyable. They are free
of music and sound effects, instead using the natural sounds of kicks and
punches, which enhances the action. Although the story isn’t wholly engaging
and satisfying, the fights and chases should hold the viewer’s attention. The strong
ensemble cast includes several A-list actors, whose appearances throughout the
film also provide an extra boost.</span></div>
