Yep. Tatum's really gone from being some guy I couldn't stand to an actor to watch out for. McConaughey runs away with the show obviously.

It's also interesting in that it seems like Soderbergh has come up with something of a trilogy in this, The Girlfriend Experience, and Haywire. I base that mostly on his using actors that are known for physicality. So he'll use a porn star, an MMA fighter, a former male stripper. The Girlfriend Experience and Magic Mike are both also about individuals adapting to economic pressure so again, there's thematic similarities there. I dunno. Besides all that it's just a really great movie. I remember one of the people I was watching it with being disappointed at the ending and I'm just thinking it's really the best way to end a movie like that.
Interesting analysis I haven't seen those flicks yet I'll have to check them out. Was Tatum a former stripper? I didn't even know that. It would explain how skilled he appeared to be nohomo

Didn't see it when it came out due to the male stripper shyt but just caught it randomly on cinemax and it was good as hell. Really well written and acted. Matthew mcconaughey the gawd had me dying "fukk that mirror like you mean it" :heh:
I Been Told You nikkas :ufdup:


:lupe: Brehs, I been thinking of watching this movie for a long time because it a Rated R comedy-drama, I like the cast & director, it got good reviews from critics, & it's from my favorite Movie/TV studio in Warner Bros. It also has the potential to have good soundtrack.

:scusthov: But, the male-stripping turns me off & makes me embarrassed to watch it. It definitely seems like a movie that dudes will use the excuse "I watched it with my girl" to watch it.

It's only embarrassing before you've seen the movie or when you mention it to people who haven't seen the movie. It's a really well crafted film, you'll notice it immediately.

Yep, the movie is loosely based on his experiences.

I got over it by not caring to begin with.
