i have now watched haywire at last.
had to watch it in three different sittings because I lost interest so fast in the many interludes, where Ginas character walks through various streets, looking "dangerous", by the way her only expression she has, as an actress.
she has one face, and that's it.
thing is, she can't act! her voice and face just isn't selling anything. she couldn't have been picked off any screen test so I assume they (casting directors or producers) just went with it and took a gamble.
but, what's really bizarre is that the movie holds such big names when the star is a non-actress and the whole production seems very cheapish. for example, michael douglas doesn't seem to hop on the first script that comes by nowadays
