Haywire and Warhorse

Haywire
(2011, Steven Soderbergh)

The short of it is: Gina Carano works as an action star but this film was too contemplative and the story a bit contrived. Decent lensing. Nice triangle choke. A sequel might work. Michael Fassbender can do no wrong. I hoped for more and better and nudity. 4/7

Warhorse
(2011, Steven Spielberg)

A tear jerker. Animal movies are sad. A decent film with competent acting. Some nice locations and war action. Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch show that they are actors to watch. Peter Mullan has one of the best voices around. Hopefully young Jeremy Irvine does not go astray as an actor because he was pretty believable in Warhorse. Not a bad film from Mr. S'berg. 5/7
