RELEASE: 2012; GENERE: Action/Adventure, Mystery/Suspense, Drama; RUN-TIME: 1 hr, 33 mins; RATED: R; STARRING: Gina Carano; Ewan McGregor and Michael Fassbender; DIRECTED BY: Steven Soderbergh;REVIEW: In this often confusing and complicated action movie where you never seem to know what is going on, former mixed-martial-arts fighter Gina Carano, does a great job of punching out most of the cast and subduing the remainder with her signature move, a headlock applied with two muscular legs that's designed to choke the life out of you. Dodging bullets and attacks, she crosses continents, providing a canvas for Soderbergh to showcase her athleticism and fight skills. It is what it is; an action movie filled with swift, devastating action, almost to the point of being overdone. We give it 2.5 Stars.
