My Review.

This film revolves around government agent Mallory Kane who go's rouge after she is set up by her team leader Jay played by Ewan McGregor she go's through great lengths trying to clear her name and hunts down kennath all in the while has to dodge agents sent to kill her. While the story is nothing new haywire takes the concept it's using and manages to keep it fresh and new. The action captured in the film is great Steven Soderbergh knows how to direct action very well. Haywire is a testament at that.Soderbergh also knows how to direct an all star cast of supporting actors.
