Gina Carano: 'Haywire' movie sneak peek video

To further whet your appetite for Gina Carano's upcoming bone-crushing cinematic extravaganza, an official five-minute "Haywire" teaser trailer has been unleashed on the Interwebs.
It gives a feel of the movie's overall texture, and nicely juxtaposes both Gina's acting and combat skills. The pleasant surprise for me was that she is apparently a quite decent actress. Given that her forbears like Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren and Quinton Jackson didn't exactly put Robert de Niro to shame, it was nice to see her competently inhabit her character, and be convincing, even in close-ups.
Carano, a former American Gladiator, stars as a "black ops super-soldier seeking payback after she is betrayed and set up during a mission." Directed by Steven Soderbergh, Haywire also stars Channing Tatum, Ewan MacGregor, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas and Michael Douglas, hitting theaters on January 20, 2012.
Check out the first five minutes of Haywire, after the jump.

then you were like wow
then you were like 
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
I feel like I'm in bizzaro world.
How anybody in their right mind can even consider that acting at all is completely beyond my comprehension. That was a horrendous and awkward exchange that made channing tatum look good. I mean, my god, he looked skilled across from gina. I am baffled and perplexed. I mean, seriously? That was good acting? Are people watching too many pauly shore movies? What gives? The movie could be descent, but gina’s acting? Really? No joke? I’m at a loss for words. I just need to walk away and contemplate the current state of cinema in a world where that performance, though only a few lines, could be considered anything other than a verbal abortion.

Damn I wish the video would play. I knew all that hype was too good to be true.
Some of these fags go to Tom Cruise movies…

This is 173 times better than Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise.
Which is not saying much I know, but I think it’s not as bad as I expected it to be.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. - Herm Albright
I hate Tom Cruise
can’t act his way out of a wet paper bag
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
one good roll
maybe two if you count the really historically inaccurate Last samurai, but mostly his movies suck
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
lol dude the movie isn't meant to be historically accurate
There’s a caucasian samurai that whoops on everyone with a few months training.. even guys that have trained in the art of the samurai their whole lives.. it’s just a movie with a basis on a true story.

Familiar?….Jon Jones…it could happen…O_o
Vote Ron Paul 2012
Jones had training since he was a child in one of the most intricate parts of MMA
Wrestling.
Ulgren-San was a drunk gun slinger who had never swung a blade in his life. It doesn’t get anymore Hollywood macho than that.
"My weight is not enough and strength is not enough either, so I have to take the fight by mastery." - Fedor Emelianenko
I was more referring to the fact that the French
not America was contracted to train Japans modern army…..
the whole nonsense of some half drunk douche bag who used to use a sword, only it was a army issue saber, and get a few months in with a Katina is total nonsense.
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
lol well yeah i agree with you there
"My weight is not enough and strength is not enough either, so I have to take the fight by mastery." - Fedor Emelianenko
its just that
sometimes i see a Braveheart clip on YouTube for instance and people will bicker about historical accuracy.. i mean it’s just a movie. If people want the true story they should read a few books on the topic ya know. You can’t condense years of history into 2 hours of moving pictures.

I laughed at this entire sequence.

could be that it’s 3am here.. lol or i’m just not up to par..
"My weight is not enough and strength is not enough either, so I have to take the fight by mastery." - Fedor Emelianenko
I still love both Braveheart and Last Samurai
but for history lessons I go to the library… not he history channel… South Park was right… they keep talking about Aliens and Ghosts and shit that doesn’t make sense… then again I used to watch Monster Quest all the time… and I have a tattoo of Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolfman… :P
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
lol i knew you were taking the piss
but i was holding that comment in so i just let it go at you.. haha

Can’t get to sleep from all this bickering.
"My weight is not enough and strength is not enough either, so I have to take the fight by mastery." - Fedor Emelianenko
Ulgren-San was a drunk gun slinger who had never swung a blade in his life.
Actually, he was a highly experienced soldier- just like the Samurai. And he was an expert swordsman, already. If you recall the scene in which he was captured, he demonstrated such high expertise with his (Western) sword, that Kasimoto ordered that he should be captured alive, being impresed by the tiger spirit he displayed.
The first time he sparred with Ujio (the Samurai badass) he was holding his wooden sword with one hand, the same way he normally held his sabre.
So he definitely was not learning swordsmanship from scratch. A better analogy would be someone with a black belt in Taekwondo learning Muay Thai. There would be a learning curve, but a much shorter one than a novice would have.
I thought it was a wonderful film, one of my top five of all time, and the aspect of learning Japanese combat was very plausible, considering his background. The only thing which ruined the movie from a realism perspective was that he was the only soldier that survived the massacre at the end. That was ridiculous.
wtf mate
it just double posted on it’s own and ignored the rest of the comment….
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
not only that.. my comment was posted first yet somehow yours is above mine

now it looks right...
weird…. damn weird…
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
maniaception
"My weight is not enough and strength is not enough either, so I have to take the fight by mastery." - Fedor Emelianenko
dude he was swinging a flag stick around like a goose
someone with a black belt in Taekwondo learning Muay Thai
I guess this i can agree on to an extent. He was a talented soldier as the movie portrayed him.
I still think it was absurd that they had him hanging with the top samurai in sparring.. kind of made the movie a little cheesy for me.
But yeah it was a sick movie.

It's really not bad...
I won’t be seeing it, because mindless action movies are not my cup of tea (dramas are more my thing) but it certainly looks a cut above the typical martial-artist-turns-movie-star film. This isn’t like Cynthia Rothrock. And Gina’s not a bad actress. In the first couple of minutes she had to communicate a lot of inner thoughts with facial expressions alone. That’s challenging for a bad actress, but she did ok.
Mot would you mind reccomending your top 5 dramas, my netflix que is growing sparce.

Recent or All Time?
All Time Would Take Forever, but the ones in my ‘Movies To Watch List’, comprising fairly recent dramas I haven’t seen yet are:
We have to talk about Kevin
Iron Lady
A Dangerous Method
Incendies
The White Ribbon
The Help
Tinker Tailor, Soldier, Spy
13 Tzameti (original, not Hollywood remake)
Donny Darko (not recent, but I haven;t seen it)
I saw the Devil (Korean)
Albert Nobbs
What I do when I need to watch good dramas is simply search for all past Oscar Best Picture nominees going back forever. The Best Foreign Language Category is a fantastic goldmine. These movies rarely make a lot of money, but the Oscar nominees always include fantastic dramatic movies (that’s how I found The White Ribbon above). Try that.
Thanks, i will search these tonight after work.

Much better than yet another Hollywood remake/reboot/rehash, no?
You are clearly a man of impeccable taste, advanced cultural sensibility, and large phallic endowment.

I disagree on one point.
She was still way better than Channing Tatum.
by naturalshadow on Jan 11, 2012 9:28 AM EST up reply actions
I just liked the fighting part of the seen
she’s a novice actor and Tatum… he’s… retarded
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
Yeah, the first time I saw that scene I felt the same way
But then I rematched “The Octagon” with chuck Norris , and I remembered that I never needed Oscar caliber acting before so I had to ask my self why I was wanting to be so hard on this
Maybe because I’m older now? I don’t know but like someone said below it wouldn’t be fare to hold her to Meryl Streep level acting

Mr. Madison.....
what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I'm with you
I said it before. Its painful to watch Gina Carano act. Maybe its due to the script, maybe its due to all the good actors around her(minus tatum), maybe its due to the fact she’s not a good actress, maybe its a combination of all of that…The movie has some good action, but I still don’t feel its worth going to see in a theater…

yeah i read a few different things about it
“Sources connected with the production tell TMZ … the folks behind the movie didn’t like the way Carano sounded when they filmed the flick … so they changed it in post. It’s unclear if they used fancy electronics to alter Gina’s vocal quality, or whether they dubbed in another female voice.”
hmm that's interesting
i always found her voice to be a +1

Agreed, she's got a very cute soft voice.

Voice training for actors is just as important as visual acting skills. Looks like Gina should get a voice coach.
