Steven Soderbergh’s filmography is packed with stories of disaffected professionals who announce that they’re permanently out of whatever job they used to do yet reenter their fields instantly when offered a challenge too enticing to pass up. Soderbergh’s many heist pictures (the Ocean’s trilogy especially) are obvious examples, but the best may be the chronicles of Mike Lane, Channing Tatum’s self-effacing master of the bump-and-grind who can’t quit quitting the stage. In the third installment of the franchise, Magic Mike’s Last Dance, he’s back in the limelight after dramatically leaving it, this time in London, where he’s choreographing and starring in a theatrical revue financed by his beautiful patron-slash-lover (played by Salma Hayek, who, yes, dances with Tatum in two numbers).
