Review of Logan Lucky (2017) by Matthew A — 18 Aug 2017

Logan Lucky is a movie that never reaches any great heights, never gets out of third gear. It's slowly paced, lacking in tension, urgency and believable motivations for the characters to even be involved in the robbery.

Silly plot twists towards the end and a completely tacked on romantic sub plot are thrown in for good measure. The characters are likable enough, but are really just dumb, red neck stereotypes. It's a predictable heist flick with a deep south twist.

The second act is particularly dull. I started yawning and checking my watch at one point which is not a good sign. On the plus side Daniel Craig as prison inmate Joe Bang is interesting and well shot, but if you're lucky you'll see another movie at the theatre.
