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 nohomoYep. 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.
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.
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.




I'm watching this for 1st time ever right now.
at Kevin Nash being in this movie.
I Highly Admire his Directing.
