I've seen this trailer before (not through here) - DIGGING. Its on my radar for sure.

o.O Long Kiss Good Night, Underworld, Resident Evil, China O'Brian. Or do you mean by someone who's a professional fighter? Well that still leaves China O'Brian out of the movies I listed.|

It'll be interesting to see the fight scenes in a chick centered action movie with a girl that can actually throwdown. Lot of big name actors in it, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpffbDjWlog Sorry if it was posted on here already, I haven't been on here consistently for a while. |
That said. It looks both like a movie I'd watch and that Gina Carano can't act!

Antonio Banderas looks like he just came from a Nasonex commercial taping. >.>
And it almost seems like all of these guys signed on with the idea that a bigger name actress would get the lead role.

That's a hell of a cast to launch a new action movie star. Either she's got some really naughty photos of someone high up or Angelina Jolie has officially been replaced...
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
Wow, I want her agent. If they can get her in with that cast AND with top billing, they've got to be able to get me something good.

I think Soderbergh likes trying out putting actresses in roles that they sort of fit in real life, even if they aren't well known. He kind of did the same thing by giving Sasha Grey a mainstream movie role in "The Girlfriend Experience." The difference, though, is that he didn't bring this kind of starpower to that movie.

That said, her movies (while enjoyable to me) I can fully admit to be some corny acting.

Beg to differ. Choreographed form routines are the athletic and combat equivalent of being a cheerleader or on a dance team, but hey, she was a different woman in a different time.|

QFT. Not to mention that style of point fighting (even the ring fighting) that they did was sadly lacking in comparison to MMA fights of today.

You know, it saddens me that so many of the youtube comments are guys complaining that no woman could beat an equally trained man. So many insecure man posting there.

I never read Youtube comments, but Carano is no small chick. She's not like usual Hollywood starlet weighing in at 110 lbs. Her walk around weight is in the 160 -170 range. She could more than give your average sized joe a run for the money.|

However, a good way to shut them up is grappling phenom Hillary Williams. She has a winning grappling record even against guys.
