THE BUZZ: This is Channing Tatum’s year to prove he’s a better actor than most of the material he has been handed thus far in his career; two of the five films he has coming out in 2012 are with director Steven Soderbergh, including this story inspired by his brief stint back when he was all abs and no filmography. Also shedding clothing in an attempt for relevancy is Alex Pettyfer, who was at the top of many casting lists before a pair of flops and his reported difficult personality cooled his fire; here, he will play a fictionalized version of young Tatum. Soderbergh completed a finished version of the film in, seriously, like a month.
