Logan Lucky (2017)
Rated PG-13
Starring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Daniel Craig,
Directed by Steven Soderbergh
The Story:
Jimmy and Clyde Logan (Tatum & Driver) have decided that if they want to succeed in life, they have to stop getting walked on. So they set out to rob Charlotte Motor Speedway, but they need the help of safecracker Joe Bang (Craig). The only catch? He's currently behind bards...
And there you have the setup for an elaborate heist film that is filled with ups and downs, which actually seems to be the curse of the Logan family.
The heist itself is improbable and yet elaborately simple and complex, both at the same time.
The movie ends on a puzzling note, but for this film, that seems spot on.
Daniel Craig seems to be having the most fun of the cast, playing completely against type in this one. Of course when your type seems to be James Bond, it's fairly easy to play anything other than that.
But the role is very comedic in nature, and he seems to be relishing the whole non-leading man part and having a lot of fun while doing it.
If you've got Amazon Prime, this movie is currently available to stream.
Final Grade: C+/B- range
