30. Haywire


Haywire is great fun. Just seeing Gina Carano kicking the faces open of half the Hollywood A list (okay B+ list) is a joy to behold.

The wife didn't agree ('This film has nothing of interest for me.') but I got some kind of semi-sadistic kick from the whole affair.

Hard to believe it's directed by Captain Soderbergh as it's straight to DVD B movie stock with an amazing cast and some beautiful cinematography.

Recommended.

I have also noticed that Carano will be appearing in Fast and the Furious 6. Hopefully she will be seen kicking Vin Diesel's jowls all over the shop. That would be just great! :-)

15. Bronson

"You Facking Caant!"
Tom Hardy, Tom Hardy, Tom Hardy, Tom Hardy! That's what Nicolas Windyourneckin's Bronson is all about. That and some mentalist prisoner who likes nothing more than using prison officer's faces as punching material.

It all feels quite theatrical at times and the scenes of balletic violence only add to the totally hatstand nature of the movie. Every time Bronson speaks you feel he is moments away from smashing someones face open.

Reassuringly the swear count is high, perhaps even rivalling Don Logan (Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast) on the 'fackin' cant' count.
