MMA superstar Gina Carano stars in this slick action movie as a government agent caught up in an assassination plot. Much of the plot leading up to the climax is told in a flashback while riding with a hostage type, although he doesn't seem too unwilling to be there.
This was a really fun action movie and it was actually good. The action scenes have no music in them, which gives it a very interesting dynamic. The flashback montages have a jazzy-esque music playing during them, which is great. I was expecting bro-metal that usually accompanies these types of films, and thankfully that was not the case.
Gina Carano is really good in this. I wouldn't expect her to ever show up in a non-action movie, but she is likely to become a pretty successful action star. This movie is similar to a Steven Segal film, but it is expertly directed by Soderbergh. Totally worth a watch.
8/10
