One of the best action movies of the 21st century so far is on TV tonight

Holding an 80% Rotten Tomatoes score, the movie comes from the director of the Ocean's Trilogy and the recently acclaimed Black Bag.

The film stars former MMA artist Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, a highly trained operative for a government security contractor whose missions take her to the world's most dangerous areas.

Not long after Mallory successfully frees a journalist being held hostage, she's betrayed and left for dead on an assignment in Dublin by someone in her own agency.

"Knowing her survival depends on learning the truth behind the double-cross, Mallory uses her black-ops training to set a trap," the plot synopsis reads.

"But when things go awry, Mallory knows she'll die unless she can turn the tables on her adversary."

Surrounding Carano in Haywire is a bunch of A-list actors including Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton, Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas and Michael Fassbender.

Upon release, the film was renowned by critics for its supporting cast, its time-shuffling screenplay by Lem Dobbs (The Limey) and the stripped-back way Soderbergh shoots his action scenes - with the latter showcasing Carano's physicality and stunts.

On top of holding an 80% score on Rotten Tomatoes, IndieWire in a recent list called Haywire the 14th best action movie of the 21st century.

Haywire is airing on TV tonight on the channel Legend at 9pm. It is also currently available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
