Watch the First 5 minutes of Soderbergh's 'Haywire'

Last month director Christopher Nolan released the first five minutes from his Batman finale The Dark knight Rises in front of select IMAX screens showing Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. The reaction despite some minor fanboy bitching was unanimously positive. Back in December of 2007 Nolan did the same thing when he released the first five minutes of The Dark Knight in front of IMAX screens for I Am Legend, which was also met by massive amounts of praise from excited fans. Well now it seems the trend has caught on in Hollywood, as director Steven Soderbergh has released the first five minutes from his action spy thriller Haywire  for fans to drool over. The only real difference being that Soderbergh released the footage online, making it much more accessible to anyone who might want to see it.

I would definitely suggest checking out the video below as it should no doubt get you pumped the fuck for the film. Haywire will be the third last film from the director as he plans to retire after shooting only two more films after this. The first five minutes are intense and awesome ass fuck. They've secured my ass and hopefully yours too in a theatre seat for next weekend when it opens everywhere.

Mallory Kane is a highly trained operative who works for a government security contractor in the dirtiest, most dangerous corners of the world. After successfully freeing a Chinese journalist held hostage, she is double crossed and left for dead by someone close to her in her own agency. Suddenly the target of skilled assassins who know her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive. Using her black-ops military training, she devises an ingenious—and dangerous—trap. But when things go haywire, Mallory realizes she’ll be killed in the blink of an eye unless she finds a way to turn the tables on her ruthless adversary.
