Looks good. Let’s see if Ms. Carano has the acting chops to be the next action star. What I do know is that she could kick my butt with ease! (Not that I would mind)
It will be worth admission just to see the scene of her kicking that dudes butt in a dinner dress…very hot. (Is that wierd?)

That scene may rival the Zeta-Jones ‘Entrapment’ security laser scene for hotness.
OK mind to the movie…it looks as though this film was originally written for Mrs. Action Lady to star in. I think this is a fresh face, which is great…and who is better right now with star ensemble casts than Soderbergh (Ocean’s Eleven, Traffic). I think it looks like a winner.
Had you guys ever heard of Carano? I’m out of the loop on her… but I’m sure she could kick my ass in about 3 seconds. Her wearing a dress or not 🙂
Saw her fight a few years back in MMA. She is a bad ass. As far as acting…well the jury is still out. Kudos to the studio for giving her a shot. Salzwedel vs Carano….let’s set it up!
