Review of Logan (2017) by Grant S — 30 Sep 2017
It is 2029. The X-Men are no more and no mutants have been born in 25 years. Logan (Wolverine), his health weakening, now works as a chauffeur in Texas. The ailing Charles Xavier / Professor X is living in an abandoned industrial plant where he is cared for by Caliban, a former mutant tracker. Logan visits occasionally, providing medicine for Xavier's condition. Logan is approached by a woman, Gabriela, who asks him to drive her and her daughter to a certain location in North Dakota. Gabriela is then murdered but this is not the end of it for Logan as the target is the daughter who appears to have special, mutant-like, powers.
I'm not an X-Men fan and only have a basic knowledge of the characters and plot of the X-Men series. However, to my surprise, not only is Logan very accessible even if you know nothing about X-Men or Wolverine, it is actually a very good movie.
Solid, interesting plot. As mentioned, you don't need to know anything about X-Men and what you do need to know is covered in the movie. Decent character depth and good plot development, making for an engaging story.
Good action scenes and a poetic, emotional ending.
A pleasant surprise.
