Members of a thought to be cursed West Virginia family, a
laid off mine worker (Channing Tatum), an Armed services amputee bartender
(Adam Driver), and their lead-footed hairstylist sister (Riley Keough), team up
with an incarcerated, explosives expert (Daniel Craig) to rob a motor speedway
on the busiest day of the year by exploiting its underground pipe system used
for cash depositing. Logan Lucky is a sometimes dumb but watchable and mostly
satisfying heist movie, although its not a genre I’m keen to see Steven
Soderbergh revisit after his brief retirement, even if it does play like
Ocean’s 11 with a soul. While the A-list actors annoyingly employ hillbilly
accents, Tatum carries the film well and its fun to watch Craig play a
colorful, against type character.
*** out of ****
