Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

El-Dod Logan Lucky is that kind of movie where you have solid performances but lacks good story , direction and excitement sources. The performance was good everybody did a great job Channing and Craig in patricular, but it was in vain as I really did't quite enjoy the scenes , the rob and almost everything was with no soul in it. That was supposed to be a story about a brilliant bank rob but it really made no sense in the end and how it ended and didn't deliver the message behind it. The poster of the movie may attract you as you feel it's a gang with style and a lot of action and style but it wasn't really in the movie. Overall don't was your time watching only a movie with average acting skills in vain!

Ryan2718 This is a wonderfully put together movie about two brothers recruiting a team of misfits to pull off a rather large heist. This is a must-see for any family movie night.Purely from the angle of cinematography and breakdown of stereotypes, this movie was skillfully made. I was on the floor laughing during the scene where Jimmy and Clyde recruit the Bang brothers; it was especially funny to hear how "rednecks" would talk about computers.One of the overarching themes of the movie was family. Jimmy was trying to rob the Speedway because he wanted enough money to move closer to his ex-wife and daughter. While there were more honest ways to obtain that money, it was still heart-warming to see his brother and sister helping Jimmy out in his mission. Despite the fact that Jimmy doesn't share the money immediately with his siblings, they still trust him after he disappears. This shows the wonderful dignity of the human person by family treating family with respect, even though they couldn't understand his actions.While this is a funny movie with a heartwarming ending, the one cautionary thing about it is the fact that our main heroes are trying to rob a bank. However, the overall tone of the movie is fairly goofy, and thus the attitude of the director obviously tells us that this film isn't in support of grand heists or jail breaks.Overall, pretty great movie. 9/10

kevinthecritic 1.5 out of 5 stars (one of the worst movies of the year)I walked into Logan Lucky expecting to be entertained by a breezy crime comedy. Brought to us by Steven Soderbergh (the man behind the hit-and-miss Oceans trilogy), Lucky has the potential to be in that vein; fast, funny dialogue combined with charismatic performances. Unfortunately, Luck is not in the cards this time, as I witnessed a film turn from vaguely interesting to completely banal over the course of its criminally bloated running time. I went into the film expecting a fun ride (especially given the unbelievably high critical reception), but came out having sat through a cinematic endurance test.The story follows Jimmy and Clyde Logan (an unconvincing Channing Tatum and Adam Driver), two brothers who attempt to rob a NASCAR speedway after life throws them bad hands. I can only guess their reasons for doing this are monetary, as Jimmy was just laid off his construction job for ridiculous reasons, and Clyde is easily convinced. I don't know their motivation behind this because the movie chooses to indulge in frustratingly irrelevant conversations in place of character development early on, a warning sign I seriously should have heeded.Anyway, since Clyde and Jimmy are as adept at robbery as I am about paying taxes, they enlist the help of "quirky" inmate Joe Bang (an embarrassingly stoned-looking Daniel Craig) and his dimwitted associates on the outside. They will have to break Joe out of the prison, pull off the heist, and get him back in before anyone notices. Interspersed with this are unnecessary scenes of Jimmy being a good dad to his daughter (Newcomer Farrah Mackenzie) who has a beauty pageant coming up. Because I totally want to see a little girls' beauty pageant in the middle of my summer heist movie. Don't you?This movie has gained a lot of press for being the supposedly triumphant return of Steven Soderbergh after he announced retirement a few years ago. If this is what he came out of retirement for, then I suggest he return to it immediately. His camerawork is overindulgent to the point of hilarity, filling the movie with shots that last forever and serve no purpose to the story. For example, one shot sees Jimmy walking down a street and drinking some water, following him as if something big or important will occur, but nothing does. Other instances include needless shots of NASCAR vehicles before a big race (that take up about 3 minutes), and one embarrassingly odd shot of Daniel Craig drinking water from a faucet like a horse for 2 and a half minutes. A director can only do as well as the script they're given, but this film needed about 45 minutes left on the cutting room floor. I'm not saying it would have been a good movie, but it certainly would have been less painful.Lastly, the performances here are absolutely forgettable. Channing Tatum and Adam Driver lack brotherly chemistry and sound bored out of their minds. Craig (who has somehow received acclaim for his performance) has never been worse than he is here. His accent is cartoonishly overdone and his delivery becomes steadily irritating. Everyone who thought he was awful in Cowboys & Aliens(which I actually liked) will be apologizing for that after this disaster.Logan Lucky completely shatters its potential as a fun summer flick by a bloated running time, unengaging performances, and an unfocused script that strands its normally dependable players in a sea of mediocrity. Count yourself Lucky I took this bullet, dear reader, for now, you won't have to.Rated PG-13 for Language and, I cannot believe I have to write this, Some Crude Comments. Crude comments? Really?

anselmdaniel This review contains spoilers.Logan Lucky is a heist movie starring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, and Daniel Craig. The movie starts with the main character working a construction job. He is then fired due to an injury and he begins creating the heist plan. He employs his one-armed brother, and a felon that specialized in explosives. The entire movie is centered around the heist's planning, execution, and aftermath.The acting from the entire cast is great. Even the child actors fit their roles well. The movie takes place in the American South and all of the cast members have a regional accent. This helped the audience actually believe in the setting and characters. Daniel Craig does an exceptional job with his character of Joe Bang. He has the mannerisms of a convict and he pulls it off with conviction.The directing in the movie is somewhat bland. Scenes did flow together well and each image captured its spirit correctly. In this type of movie, the somewhat bland direction still did not detract from the direction.The writing in this movie had a great feel. The movie felt like it took place in the South. Mannerisms and even accents felt localized. The characters were well-written. None of the movie felt out-of-place. Although the plot was formulaic and basic, the dialogue and setting were enough to elevate it further. There were not any big plot holes in this movie.I would recommend Logan Lucky.
