Review of Logan Lucky (2017) by Tvjerry — 21 Aug 2017

Channing Tatum and Adam Driver play brothers who decide to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway. They bring on a safe cracker (Daniel Craig) and his brothers to round out the crew. Anyone who's seen director Steven Soderbergh's "Oceans" movies will appreciate the elaborate machinations of the heist, only this time the crooks aren't slick.

Everybody's having fun with their thick Southern accents and even thicker skulls (Driver turns in an especially subtle but winningly deadpan performance). This translates into enjoyment for the audience too.

While the energy lags during parts of the heist, the rest of the film is entertaining, especially the dimwit characters and the actors who are having such a good time playing them.
