Channing Tatum's 2024 psychological thriller will arrive on streaming soon. Tatum's big screen breakthrough came with 2006's Shakespeare-inspired teen comedy She's the Man, where he portrayed high school soccer team captain Duke Orsino. His portrayal of disadvantaged teen Tyler Gage in Step Up helped solidify his Hollywood presence. The actor would later show off his range in a wide variety of projects, such as Magic Mike, 21 Jump Street, and Dear John.
In 2024, Tatum fulfilled a longtime professional goal by taking on the role of Remy LeBeau, the mutant hero known as Gambit, in Deadpool and Wolverine. Tatum had previously been attached to a solo movie featuring the character that was canceled in 2019, but the MCU threequel allowed him to portray a version of the character lost to the Void and desperate to make a name for himself. Throughout his career, Tatum has shown he is an incredibly versatile actor, able to play sillier characters, action heroes, and romantic leads alike.

Our Take On Blink Twice
Tatum Steps Out Of The Preconceptions Past Roles Have Set
Blink Twice features a Tatum performance unlike anything else in his filmography. Slater King is a role that sees Tatum go against type as a heartless, monstrous manipulator, though the full extent of his villainy isn't clear until the big Blink Twice twist is revealed. It is refreshing to see the actor play a darker type of character, as it shows off his range impressively. It also helps that Kravitz has set up an intriguing premise that leads to a cathartic and satisfying conclusion.

Opposite Tatum, Ackie gives a performance just as strong, with Frida facing shocking obstacles and conflicts. When paired with Kravitz's directing, the feature emerges as one of 2024's most well-crafted and somewhat underrated releases. While the movie tackles incredibly distressing themes that more than warrant the preceding warning before the feature, Blink Twice is a strong step into the director's chair for Kravitz and a terrifying type-breaking performance that highlights Tatum's abilities as an actor.
Directed by Zoë Kravitz, Blink Twice is a drama thriller film, marking her first foray into the world of directing.
