Review of Logan Lucky (2017) by Moviemitch96 — 17 Aug 2017

I had a feeling that Steven Soderbergh wasn't really going to retire for good when he claimed that 2013's 'Side Effects' would be his last film. Given that I was personally pretty disappointed with that film, I certainly hoped that it wouldn't serve as his swan song.

Thankfully, it didn't, and he came back with a vengeance with this surprisingly funny deadpan caper comedy! Sure, the film may simply feel like a redneck 'Ocean's Eleven', with the premise and what not (the film even pokes fun at itself about that briefly towards the end), but the talented and studded cast with the likes of Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Riley Keough, Seth MacFarlane in an almost unrecognizable role, Daniel Craig completely and brilliantly playing against type, and even a worthwhile cameo near the end, make this film all the more fun and a lot more easy to forgive the fact that it is indeed very much like a redneck 'Ocean's Eleven.
