The story has some conspicuously Hitchcockian elements... but it's no pastiche or neoclassical homage. Rather, Soderbergh shapes the film to respond to his own personal concerns, and, in doing so, gets to the very heart of why, in the midst of an exhilarating whirl of cinematic creation (such as "Haywire" and "Magic Mike"), he's stopping the carousel and getting off.
