Movie Review: 'Haywire' features Reno kickboxer Gina Carano
Submitted by admin on Tue, 01/24/2012 - 6:54pm
The movie "Haywire,"currently screening at the Fandango Galaxy cineplex in Carson City, is a spy thriller with a twist. The top spy is a woman, Mallory Kane, played by Gina Carano, in her first major starring role.
Those who know the Northern Nevada area might recognize the name Carano from the casinos the family owns and operates. Gina's father Glenn Carano was a backup quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, and no doubt passed on some toughness to his daughter.
Mallory opens the movie with a expletive that is repeated at the close. Can't say director Steven Soderbergh isn't neat.
