Though he soon finds the woman has an agenda of her own and now his career is on the line. Tatum, who also produced the film, previously described the movie as a “fish-out-of-water story,” sort of a reverse-role ‘Pretty Woman’ story that ends up with a lot of dancing in it.” Speaking of dancing,directorStevenSoderberghrevealedthat the “last 30-plus minutes of the movie are just this giant dance sequence.”
