Haywire is a peculiar sort of covert-ops thriller that can be seen as a noteworthy opposite approach to the genre from something like Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol. Where Ghost Protocol was huge and loud with snappy writing, loud music, and huge budgets, Haywire is subdued, sparse, and has a soundtrack that is almost entirely smooth jazz. It was definitely an odd sensation to be watching a thriller that seems hellbent on putting the audience to sleep. In some ways, the differences were refreshing, a different take on something that's become fairly ordinary is nice, but it was also a little difficult to stay awake at times, and the lazy pacing definitely didn't help things. I guess in the end it gets a shrug from me. It wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't much of a thriller in the traditional sense. News

@wilw glad I checked the replies to this first, would have been so embarrassing if I asked if you're writing in LISP.

@alibakes Haywire is a sparse little covert thriller featuring a smooth jazz score. I can't think of anything else to say about it.
