Thank God I went with my gut and saw it....I LOVED it!

Here's the bottomline: Its not your conventional action movie. If you love the type of action-packed films Schwarzenegger makes, then obviously this ain't for you. This is more of a stylish art-housey thriller/character study than anything else. Yes, the pace is slow and its a little low on action scenes, so what? It never feels boring, IMO. People that hated this movie went into it expecting an action thrill ride with TONS of martial arts fight sequences by Gina Carano. Its no edge of your seat stuff. I don't think Soderbergh intended it to be so.

I must say I was bummed out by the tsunami of bad reviews on this board. I was wondering WTF people are calling it "boring" and "horrible" despite the fact its getting awesome reviews critically. I almost gave up on it, and I'm so glad I didn't. I liked "Haywire" quite a lot, but I do understand why a lot of people dislike it. But just because its not your cup of tea doesn't mean its "horrible". I find it to be a thinking man's intelligent thriller grounded in reality. Frankly, I've never seen action scenes more realistically shot than the ones in this movie.
