YMMV / Haywire

• Critical Dissonance: The film holds an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes but got a D- on Cinemascore (which measures opening weekend audience word-of-mouth).
• Magnificent Bitch: Mallory Kane is a Marine-turned-mercenary who has hired herself out to Private Military Contractors for years, and become renowned for her skills so much that even the CIA values her enough to pay extra to get her presence on select missions. Upon being betrayed and framed by her former boss and lover Kenneth, Mallory cleverly exposes her attempted assassin and kills him, using his cell phone to trick Kenneth into revealing his hand in the treachery. Evading Kenneth's goons and law enforcement alike with skill and swagger, Mallory takes a hostage from a diner simply to reveal the details of Kenneth's crimes to him and use him as a messenger to get her allied with the CIA. Mallory uses Agent Alex Coblenz to lure Kenneth into a trap, where she slaughters the man's security team and sends him on the run, after which Mallory tracks Kenneth down, learns the locations of his allies, then leaves Kenneth to die, intent on taking down the rest of those who betrayed her even after clearing her name.
