Should have been better considering who was involved.

This very easily could have been a made for TV movie. There was nothing really of a sotry, and highly predictible towards the middle to end of the movie.
Each of the actors were good with what they had to work with, but there are a couple of the main characters that only had two or three lines... Matt Bomer's character had only one line that I saw.
They underused and over casted this movie.
The sancing was sub par or perhaps the same that you would see at an average stip club.... but I don't see the excitement.
Channing Tatum defiantely did the best of all the actoras in that he seemed to have the best part and was directed properly... but considering he was a producer, this would have been the case. Only in two scenes does he really act to a point that is good.
I don't think this movie was the fault of the actors. I think turth be told, there was a great deal left on the editing floor. I also think Stephen Sodoburgh was asleep at the wheel - this is his worse work by far. I am very spurised at how bad his directing was.
Go if you want to see some fast shots of good bodies, but in no way a good story and character development nor any good plot or good acting.
Cons bad acting, slow, poor direction, not enough action, poor use of name actors
