It’s hard to believe that this thriller went relatively unnoticed. It has director Steven Soderbergh (Contagion) and an all-star cast, including Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton, Michael Douglas, Michael Angarano, and Gina Carano. Carano is an MMA superstar, which should clue you in on the kind of action to expect.
Thankfully, this release has a stylish presentation to match the on-screen action. Look for a 2.40:1 aspect ratio and a thumping DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. The extras, however, are pretty slim. Carano gets her own featurette, which is nice. Otherwise, there’s a very short piece on “The Men of Haywire” and a Digital Copy disc.
