ugly, nondescript hi-def palette, heavy on the piss yellows and shit browns, renders every locale flat and banal
Review rate : D

to this referee, that's movie sensibility gone haywire

the screenplay doesn’t bother detonating any surprises at all; narrative ingenuity is sooo 1940s
by Richard Corliss [TIME Magazine ]
-
so no, in truth, the story isn't much. Just betrayal and revenge, basically
Review rate : C+

-
refreshingly frank about what it is, a simple, workable framework for the melees and mayhem
by Todd McCarthy [Hollywood Reporter ]

puts the impact back into screen violence, brings it back to earth
by Nick Pinkerton [Village Voice ]
-
nothing resembling plot, character development or a star-making career move of any kind is anywhere apparent
by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]
-
meticulously edited scuffles and chases, set pieces threaded around a plot that seems almost defiantly preposterous and uninteresting
by A.O. Scott [New York Times ]
-
it's artisan trash, delivering the action-thriller goods, but on its own intelligent terms
by Colin Covert [Minneapolis Star Tribune ]
-
in that sense, Soderbergh hasn't made an action movie at all. He's made a documentary
by Wesley Morris [Boston Globe ]

has its share of plot holes

gives Haywire B-movie oomph without sacrificing his fluid elegance
by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

from start to finish, serious fun
by Steven Rea [Philadelphia Inquirer ]
-
eccentric, and the on-screen violence is sharp and exciting - brutal without being either subhumanly sadistic or superhumanly ridiculous
by Michael Phillips [Chicago Tribune ]
-
doesn't just start 2012 with a bang; it sets the bar very, very high for every action film that's going to follow in its footsteps this year
Review rate : B
by James Rocchi [MSN Movies ]
-
curiously, while the mayhem plays out in a manner worthy of its title, "Haywire" never seems less than fully in control of its own effects
by Justin Chang [Variety ]
-
besides a tight narrative, Haywire offers nail-biting fights and chases, clever twists
by Doris Toumarkine [Film Journal International ]
