Bottom Line: With real Gladiator punches and mixed marital arts kicks, this is a heavy-duty action movie.
The Gist: Gina Carano is a real-life mixed martial arts fighter, so when Steven Sodebergh cast her in an action movie, she was ready. She plays a operative for hire (but only to good guys) whose business partners decide they’ve had enough of her, um, services. Suddenly, she’s fighting her former colleagues. The plot, however, isn’t as important as the serious, serious fight sequences.
Be Aware: Rated R, the film has one sex scene, not particularly graphic, some language, and a whole lotta violence.
