Steven Soderbergh may be Hollywood’s go-to guy for slick, populist drama, but he certainly can’t be accused of resting on his laurels.
It seems that for every Che there’s an Oceans 13 lodged in the mans thinky-sack, so after the promising-looking Informant, it’s with some trepidation that STS approaches newbie Knockout!
On the plus side, it ticks all our boxes; A Spy Thriller starring a gorgeous mixed-martial arts championess. On the downside? Well, it’s a spy thriller starring a gorgeous mixed-martial arts championess!
Gina Carano – occasionally seen knocking contestants off the travellator on American Gladiators – will be busting balls as the xXx style heroine who’s stuck in a Burn Notice situation and is forced to ass-kick her way to justice. Could go either way, but at least it’ll look good doing it.
Sound like a killer idea to you? Has the 80s action revival left room for a new China O’Brien?
