Starring Gina Carano, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor
Steven Soderbergh brings his clockwork-precise craftsmanship to this meticulously constructed thriller featuring some of the most dazzling fight choreography this side of Hong Kong genre cinema. MMA superstar Gina Carano is a force of nature as Mallory Kane, an ultraskilled assassin working for a shadowy government contractor. When she is betrayed by her own agency, Mallory must go rogue to stay alive and uncover a conspiracy. Kinetic editing, eye-catching international backdrops from Barcelona to Dublin to New Mexico, and a stacked supporting cast that includes Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Bill Paxton, Channing Tatum, Antonio Banderas, and Michael Douglas come together for a pure-pleasure hit of pulp at its most unstoppably entertaining.
